I’m willing to let my elected delegates from Texas make a deal on the convention floor. Start over? Forget Trump. Forget Cruz. Who else we got?

That is mighty generous of you. But these candidates have paid an enormous price to get where they are. I can't, for the life of me, imagine anyone thinking a last minute white horse should be nominated.

I didn't suggest a last-minute, white horse. If neither Trump nor Cruz can close the deal, my elected delegates are empowered to negotiate with other delegates (on my behalf) to nominate a candidate who can get a majority. I don't know the rules, but I'd hope that whoever would be chosen in such a case would be well vetted.

And it's not really generosity on my part. That's how most nominations work, in politics and in business. One has to get a majority to be the representative head of any body.
