Will Cruz & Trump pledge to help eachother in a brokered convention?

Posted on 02/09/2016 4:25:27 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

I don't see how Trump delegates can go any where but Cruz. I worry Cruz delegates will go to Rubio.

Maybe you should tell Trump to stop attacking Cruz on anything but policy-doing otherwise doesn’t produce much goodwill with Cruz’s supporters like me, and that goes double for Trump supporters who aren’t civil!

I don’t think many Trump followers will shift to Cruz. This article reflects my observations of Trump fans in real life: Trump people tend to be former Democrats, who I would guess would most likely shift to Rubio, or Bush, or pretty much anyone but Cruz.

If Trump gets 900 votes, Cruz gets 800 votes, and Rubio gets 500 votes, Trump can make a deal with Rubio for the VP spot. Cruz is promised AG as consolation prize.

It'll come down to the ultimate political question:
"What's in it for me?"

Trump Rubio is a winning ticket
I said that 2 weeks ago
President Trump could hopefully school Marco to be a hard working competent manager, like he has trained his children
Rubio could be president in 5 years or 8 years

Yeb will be gone long before the convention.

We are rapidly sifting down to 3. Its getting down to ‘nut cuttin time’.

If Trump is not able to get enough delegates for a first vote win at the convention, he will not find any of the others willing to help him. Its called ‘what goes around, comes around’.

A more likely brokered convention will see Rubio throwing in with Cruz, then everyone, except maybe the DONEald getting on the Cruz bandwagon.

Disagree. Some Trump supporters will find some sensibility and move to Cruz.

Trumpbots will pull a ronpaul and walk out. Good riddance!
