The Key Paragraph from the article is actually a quotation from a Politico article. Trumpsters and Trumpettes should consider skipping this part. Cruz fans should read it twice.

Here it is.

"If Trump heads into the convention without the magic number of 1,237, already more than a hundred delegates are poised to break with him on a second ballot, according to interviews with dozens of delegates, delegate candidates, operatives and party leaders...In one of starkest examples of Trump’s lack of support, out of the 168 Republican National Committee members — each of whom doubles as a convention delegate — only one publicly supports Trump, and she knows of only a handful of others who support him privately. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz has been whipping Trump in the quiet, early race to elect his own loyalists to become delegates to the convention, meaning that the Texas senator could triumph through delegates who are freed to vote their own preferences on a second ballot, regardless of who won their state..."

I wrote, earlier: The GOPeeCruz reminds me of that little nerd dweeb that knew ALL the rules to Monopoly when we were kids - but would only share the ones that gave HIM an advantage.

He had fun till nobody would play with him any more. In ANY kind of game...

Good luck getting the Trump primary kids to come out to play for Ted's team in November, if it comes to that. :)

I'll of course do my part, but I'm not one of these fired-up Trump anti-establishment types who are participating in the political process for the first time.

I'm in it to see Trump damage the Media DeathStar as much as he can.

When you tote up the sheer amount of money in Media salaries by the hour that are being brought to bear against Trump, it would blow your mind.

Of course, young Ted will certainly get that "attention", if Trump is removed from the equation.

The recent bimbo eruption was just one of the Media DeathStar's secondary batteries throwing a little "chin music" at Ted's head. :)

The main armament is currently devoted to Trump.

My prediction, er, maybe:

Cruz will never be the delegate. But he might be veep.

There is nothing the gop would like more than to shut Cruz up. And a great way to do that would be to make him vice president behind a rino. He could sit there in the senate with his warm bucket of piss and wait for a tie so he could be relevant. Don’t be surprised if this happens.

The GOPee should perhaps ask themselves whether what they hope to win is greater than what they will assuredly lose.
