“...Cruz played the game better than Trump...”
And we somehow like the fact that we need Harvard lawyer types/Princeton grads to successfully play the delegate game? This is why we need to rid ourselves of establishment tools.
Trumpy knows the game. He chose to run as a republican and play the game. If he doesn’t win the game it just means Cruz beat him. If Trumpy didn’t want to play the game he should have run 3rd party like he threatened too.
It's not the national establishment tools who did this to the party. It's the state establishment tools who wanted the delegates to be loyal to state party interests rather than to the voters. Still, I agree with you. The GOP establishment at the national level and in many states is reprehensible, and the democrats are pure evil. It's time to create a real choice - the chance to vote for good for a change. I'm not sure either Cruz or Trump is that change, but they are better options than the rest of the menu.
