“By this standard Cruz himself should withdraw from the race. The fact that he doesn’t makes him a hypocrite. Ted Cruz;”Do as I say, not as I do”. “
Cruz is a gnat’s ass away from being in that same position - being “unable to win the nomination outright” - and, as such, should be preparing to withdraw. I will bet that by the time NY and PA finish voting, Cruz will need more than 100% of the remaining delegates in order to win the nomination outright. THAT is the point at which he MUST - by his own standard - withdraw. If he is smart (and I like the guy for the most part and believe him to be damned smart), then he’ll stop the stupid wife games and work out the best deal with Trump NOW, while he still has something to offer. He needs to get a deal NOW, before Kasich gives his delegates to Trump for his own deal.
I see it the same way, Cruz is headed for a brick wall in NY and PA. Trump will win those states easily.
Cruz is running out of time to make a deal.
Quite frankly I doubt Trump is even interested at this point.
Why would he want to take on Cruz's dirty laundry?
