Rove on Cruz Being Mathematically Eliminated for First-Ballot GOP Nomination... (not important)
Breitbart ^ | April 27, 2016 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/27/2016 12:27:39 PM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

“That’s not really important,” Rove said of Cruz’s mathematical elimination. “Trump dismisses the multiple candidate, uses it for as an excuse, saying, ‘Well, I didn’t get 50 percent of the vote until the 39th contest until there were so many candidates’ and yet he turns around and says, ‘Well, you can’t — Cruz can’t get there because there are multiple candidates.’ Well, you know, it is what it is. The question is can Trump get there and can the ‘not Trump’ forces keep him from getting there? Because I think everyone agrees, on the second ballot he’ll bleed. There are people who are being elected to the state conventions who are legally committed to him for the first or the second or the third ballot who will not be for him.”

Is he still counting the votes in that one obscure county in Ohio that was supposed to tip the 2012 election to Romney?

Never, ever forget that Rove is an employee of The Cheap Labor Express

I could see Rove swallowing hard over and over again while he was commenting on the primaries last night. I think he was trying to force that big mouthful of crow down his gullet.

‘Well, you can’t — Cruz can’t get there because there are multiple candidates.

Trump can still get there and there are still multiple candidates.

This marks the 14th year that I have hated Traitor Rove’s guts!

Rove is grasping at straws, desperate to save some face as is Cruz.

These guys continue to make fools of themselves!

When have candidates continue to run when they have been mathematically eliminated just so they can fight in the convention?

This is simply spitting in the face of the voters who voted for Trump!

Trump made is very clear in his victory speech last night, that he is NOT planning to win a second or third ballot. He is running to win on the FIRST, with full delegates in hand. Trump changed the narrative by making that statement, and put aside all the BS we’ve been hearing about second and third ballots. Trump runs the race to win, not to come in second.

I really want to hear more pearls of wisdom from opportunists like Rove about Donald Trump’s negatives after he and his PAC brethren ran 55,000 negative ads against Trump.

There should be no doubt that Cruz is working for the GOPe’s

If Cruz was close in delegates I would say there is a logic to Rove’s comments but it looks like Trump, even without the 1237, will still have nearly double his closest opponent. How then can anyone make the argument it should not be Trump?

Of course not. That’s why every coach doesn’t worry about winning the game, just tying it up so he can go in to overtime.

Does anyone still listen to this moron? He should’ve been a meteorologist, a profession that never has to be right.
