Since over 4 out of 5 of us participating in the nightly caucus are now supporting Trump... I try to remind myself to go easy on any Cruz supporter who is not being completely obnoxious.

There are a nasty handful who refuse to be gracious in the face of overwhelming reality, while a small (but larger) number are simply defiant against the odds, and want to rehash spent arguments with you, endlessly.

Then there are those who are somewhere out on a cosmic orbit, and can't be reasoned with or reached in any fashion.

Of all those, only the first group are deserving of the backlash they get around here.

That is an accurate assessment, but I am still trying to go out of my way to be respectful. One of my best friends is still clinging to the hope that Cruz will be able to reach the magic number before the convention. Last night on Hannity Cruz was claiming the same thing and I found it to be very disingenuous. I was disappointed that even Rush is still going along with this charade. Cruz is smart enough to know better. At this point he is being used as a tool by the GOPe to deny Trump the nomination and he knows it. Is he foolish enough to think that Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and the others will try to steer the nomination in a brokered convention to him? I am sure that a lot of backroom promises have been made, but still?

I don’t get to vote in the primary for 2 1/2 more months...so I am advocating that nobody drop out. If this is going to be a $$$ contest then have every state vote on the same day.
