[[Last minute GOPe/Cruz campaign shenanigans which cause Trump to come up just short.]]
What about fair delegate allocation that cause him to come up short? Whiel the delegate system may be flawed- and I agree it’s not a great system- we can’t simply expect that the GOP suspend it just for the sake of Trump or even for Cruz- I would feel the same way if Cruz were in lead and trump was close behind- Under the current rules I think it should go to a second ballot if noone gets the ‘magic number’- there are a great many people that simply believe Cruz is the better candidate, them ore conservative one-
[[The GOPe, by launching their “NeverTrump” vendetta][]
The GOP hasn’t launched a ‘nevertrump’ agenda- many are accepting he will be the likely nominee- and many peopel that claim to be nevertrump will get behind him if he wins fair and square and doesn’t demand it be given just because he’s close- Heck- they’ll vote for him even if he does- because as mentioend, contrary to your assertion, most peopel are ‘Neverhilarly’ first and foremost-
There’s nothing you can do about the few ‘neverromney’ morons out there who stayed home and handed the election to dear leader twice now- there are ‘neverRomney’ people in trump’s camp as well as in CRuz’s camp- people that idiotically think that America deserves her IF trump or Cruz isn’t nominated- but again- there’s nothing we can do about these idiots- they are a sad fact of life- And i don’t call people names easily- but when it comes to the NeverRomney people who handed the election to dear leader- and their piss poor attitude about wishing America ill because they feel the GOP deserves to ‘be taught a lesson’ then I will break out a few adjectives to describe them
Havign said that
[[They’ve created a dynamic where either Donald Trump gets the nomination, or else the party splinters irreparably.]]
The party won’t splinter irreparably- most republicans are neverhilarly through and through- and many many Americans. independents, are really fed up and hurting after 8 years of dear leader and the left— Whoever the nominee is- I believe America will do the right thing and boot the dems out of office for a good number of years- Many many people were stung badly by this administration, and many see the country they once loved slipping away- I beleive the GOP is in for an overhaul no matter who wins the nomination- but it won’t splinter- it wil l rebuild- Americans sent a loud clear message when we demanded boener be kicked out- an when mid terms came along and establishment wonks were booted out-
[[The GOPe and Cruz campaign have made their Machiavellian bed, and now they will have to sleep in it.]]
Again, this is an overexaggeration- Should he become the nominee after a second ballot- people will unite behind him to defeat hilarly- the stakes are too high, and he would get this message across- as he has been doing- He will also encourage all his supporters to get behind trump IF trump gets it outright or on a second ballot- which many think he will end up doing- Cruz thinks he has a chance with second ballot and the unpledged rubio delegates- but I think it’s a long shot0- even though I support him
This is a tiem for unity, not for constant ‘ted is an A-hole’ or ‘trump is an A-hole’ threads and posts- The process will play itself out- changes will be made next election season no doubt- but for now they play out-
What about fair delegate allocation that cause him to come up short? Whiel the delegate system may be flawed...[[blah, blah, blah!]]
The relative situations of the two candidates are not equivalent.
Ted Cruz will not get the GOP nomination, all he is doing is delaying the inevitable while increasing party dis-unity.
You few remaining Cruz supporters are still hoping for your magical unicorn scenario to unfold where Cruz, magicallyl, mind you, with his paltry delegate totals, somehow steals the nomination, with GOPe help, without splintering the party and destroying everything that Trump voters have fought for.
The much more likely outcome is splintering, chaos, disunity, acrimony, and a loss top Hillary in November.
And we're all supposed to want to risk all that just to satisfy Ted Cruz's inflated ego, blind ambition, and sense of self-importance?
God forbid!
Ted Cruz is the t--d in the punch bowl at this point. His actions are unbelievably selfish and shortsighted, and will do nothing but damage his career more severely the more he persists in his delusional and destructive mission. Picking a running mate when he has less than half the needed delegates? Making side deals with Kasich which he denies the next day? That's ridiculous. That's jumping the shark.
Not only is Cruz weakening chances of unity for this cycle, but he's risking his entire political future.
The man couldn't be more blind at this point, and nobody outside of his ever-shrinking base would ever want him to be anywhere near the Oval Office.
As I've pointed out, if the relative situations were reversed, the chorus of calls for Donald Trump to suspend would be deafening. But Ted Cruz thinks he can write his own ending. He's wrong. His ending has already been written for him: humiliation, irrelevance, and the squandering of a once promising political career.
This is rank hypocrisy from Ted Cruz and the GOPe, and the longer it goes on, the less chance there will be for healing and party unity.
Tuesday night is going to be another sweet night.
Vote Trump
You're operating in an alternate reality which completely talks past what the GOP voters have seen with their own eyes over the past 6 months: a concerted and un-American effort by the Left/Media/GOPe/"me too" Cruz campaign to do everything they can to thwart the will of the voters and deny Donald Trump the delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination.
Thankfully, the diabolical effort put forth by this unprecedented unholy alliance looks like it will fail. But if it doesn't, the entire GOP electorate will know exactly why, who is to blame, and who will still deserve and get the nomination. That's the part where the conspirators didn't think things all the way through, and now it's way too late for them to escape the dynamic they've created. It's going to roll right over them.
Stand clear! It sucks to be on the wrong side of a Revolution, and the GOPe and Cruz campaign are about to find that out.
Vote Trump!
Trump is well on his way to get far more than the needed 1237! Any game playing and there WILL be a full fledged revolt, with the GOP joining the Whig Party on the dust heap of history and Teddy losing to Hillary in THE biggest DEM landslide EVER.
