When one achieves 1237, then is the time to unify with no sore loser attitude or sour grapes.

But sour grapes is exactly what we are seeing from Sen Cruz. Usually at this point, the loser would bow out graciously and rally around the front runner. After next Tuesday Cruz will be at least 400 delegates behind Trump. And between now and Cleveland that number will grow. Maybe all the way to Trump reaching the 1237 or damn close. The longer he holds out the more damage is done. We cannot have people sitting out because they cant pull the lever. There is no way Cruz will walk into Cleveland and walk out the nominee. It’s not gonna happen.

“Usually at this point, the loser would bow out graciously”

Romney had 52% of the vote.

Nor did everyone drop out for him.

Trump only 38%. Not even as strong as Romney.

What’s wrong with Trump winning it?

That's simply not true. The time for the "loser" to back out is when the leader gains a majority, not a weak plurality.
