Cruz better distance himself from this quickly. If Trump calls him on it before he does, it could get ugly, and the Trumpster can be lightning-fast.
Baloney.
As others have pointed out, if several candidates are bunched together at a relatively low delegate count, even if one is leading by a few percent, a brokered convention is the right thing to do. If the leading candidate’should has under 35%, then TWO-THIRDS OF REPUBLICANS HAVE VOTED AGAINST HIM! Whether the leading candidate is trump, or Sen. Cruz, or Bush or Rubio, why should such a small plurality entitle him to the nomination?
In that case, the nomination needs to go to a candidate who can work out a compromise that win the support of a majority of the convention delegates.
If, on the other hand, if a candidate walks into a fractured convention with 40% or 45% of the vote, with the most delegates, but barely short of a majority, he will be the candidate with the best position in the negotiations for the nomination. If such a candidate wanted the nomination for himself, he would be the candidate with the easiest path to getting to 50% + 1 of the delegates to win the nomination.
Did anyone notice this was said by someone working for a Super Pac? Cruz’s campaign cannot have any contact with a Super Pac by law.
Don't worry Cruzty is fast himself and the Cruzties that support him are relentless.
