Typical GOPe behavior. The ends justify their means.
TRUMP WINS THEM—CRUZ STEALS THEM!
What a creep.
Are you a fan of Ronald Reagan? Reagan did the exact same type of politicking Cruz is doing - and Trump should be doing - in advance of the 1976 Republican nominating convention. Ford arrived at the 1976 convention short of the delegates needed and the nomination was contested by Reagan. Ford eventually won 1187 to 1070. Ford even used the enticement of rides on Air Force One to woo delegates. Reagan was the insurgent and rode a wave of conservative support from "Reagan's Raiders" from the Texas delegation but in the end, Ford's strength as the incumbent and his use of the office won out. The party platform was changed as a result with a number of conservative planks added due to the strength of Reagan's coalition.
