Rudy Giuliani: Trump Is the Nomineeā€¦ Cruz-Kasich Backroom Deal is Devastating (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/26/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/26/2016 6:49:41 AM PDT by GilGil

Rudy Giuliani: My thought is that Trump is the nominee. I supported him before. I support him now. I fully endorse him 100% and I urge other Republicans to get behind him. We may have preferred somebody else but he is going to be the candidate. And now we have to do the best we can to make sure we defeat Hillary Clinton.

The fact that Cruz and Kasich had to get together in this backroom deal, is devastating. The American people on both the Republican side and Democratic side are telling us something. They’re telling us they don’t like these backroom deals anymore. They don’t like these Washington shenanigans. They don’t like these sneaky things are done and people pass bills they don’t read. Trump represents something very fresh and very different for them… What Cruz and Kasich just demonstrated is they can’t beat him without making a backroom deal.

Totally agree with the excerpt. Trump ends up with around 1265-1350 delegates!

If Trump ends up tonight with around 960 delegates +-5, then it’s over.

Trump will be the next GOP frontrunner. Hillary will not know what hit her.

Spoken like a loser Cruzer. Get on the Trump Train or support Hillary. Those are the choices now for “principled conservatives”. Choose wisely.

This is a change of position for Rudy.

Previously he said he would vote for Trump but not endorse him.

This is an endorsement.

Cruz is in deep trouble. This “backroom deal” was done out of necessity because he is out of money. This way he can spend what’s left in Indiana and avoid NM and Oregon. By the way, doesn’t it bother you that the “true, blue, deep throated conservative” has no problems hooking up with an establishment candidate like Kasich? Or do the ends justify the means?

No...Rudy said he would not be part of his campaign.

He DID endorse Trump earlier.

“Spoken like a true NYC liberal buddy of the Donald for over 20 years.”

At least Trump has friendships that 20+ years long. Where are all of Cruz’s friends?

Hizzoner is right. The backroom deal is EXACTLY what everyone has come to detest and loathe about the establishment.

When I first heard about this Cruz-Kasich thing I had the same thought. Have they lost their minds? This is precisely what the voters hate! Or do they secretly want Trump to win by appearing to please the establishment with a plan that is doomed?

Trump easily has the nomination, its been obvious for a while, Cruz et al needed the myth of a contested convention to remain alive to keep their faithful motivated, and to keep folks turning in for the “drama” for ratings.

Cruz was done long before Wisconsin.

After tonight, when Trump is going to wind up right around 1000 delegates... any argument that there will be a contested convention is just folks living in denial. Trump will easily pick up another 250 or more delegates between now and the end of the primaries.... there is no path to a Cruz nomination, no contested convention, none of it.

Its time that folks take some time off, deal with their emotions, disappointment or joy, relax take a few deep breaths and come back ready to fight for the general election.
