I believe Cruz can win the nomination on the floor of the convention. But I believe that such a victory ...if it occurred this cycle...would be pyrrhic.
Likewise, I believe Trump may win the nomination outright, or may also win on the convention floor. Again, IMHO, such a victory without the party unifying (and that would mean in that case Cruz finding the way to make an accommodation with Trump and unite the two largest factions by far of the GOP voters) would also be pyrrhic.
My letter is urging Cruz to unite the party. IMHO< he is uniquely qualified to do so and avoid a huge rift if either side forces the issue without working very hard to unite these two groups.
That’s the real heart of the issue.
I have been and remain a Cruz supporter. But the reality on the ground, and for the ultimate good of the nation in avoiding a DNC victory in November, calls for such consideration.
The REAL fight here is for the nation and for avoiding the devastation a continuation of Obama policies will bring.
You are urging the wrong candidate. Cruz is already reaching out to the various factions, engaging at the local level, and trying to sell the GOPe on the fact that change is necessary for the future of the Party. Compare that to Trump who continues to scorch the earth with his populist narcissism.
Cruz is working to change the Party for the better. Trump works to destroy it.
