If they manage to keep the nomination from going to Trump, the suicide attempt will be successful.

Are they writing this about Hillary?

Of course not! The Superdelegates will decide there - the regular, "voted for" delegates are irrelevant since neither Hillary! or Bernie have enough delegates to win outright.

For the Democrats, it will be the Party and the Powers That Be that decide who gets to run...

I look forward to the day I no longer hear ‘Ted’ and ‘Cruz’ together.

“A candidate who cannot win the support of a majority of Republican delegates voting their consciences does not deserve to be the nominee and certainly has no legal right to be”

What the 2000ish delegates want is much, much more important than what the 20,000,000 primary voters wanted, you see.

The GOPe’s may want Hillary to win.

However, don’t think they want a wipe out of down ballot candidates.

They don’t want a down ballot wipeout but the odds of that increase because they are / will sandbag Trump whenever possible. Then they’ll blame it on Trump

Free the delegates and let Republicans be Republicans.

IE: "Losers."

Here the Rabid Colorado unelected Cruz delegate behind the movement. I posted this about a hour ago and the interview with Rabid Colorado Cruz delegate, Kendall Unruh, happened today on Fox Business.

These resisted are such insufferable fools. No matter what happens they are forever fools. Their Whig status will be long-lasting,
