Nothing surprising here. We knew this was coming and I am fine with it.

I want Cruz to win too.

But contrary to so many who are getting so caught up and offended in all of this...and in danger of forming circular firing squads...

The real goal it to win the Whitehouse and fundamentally change the direction the country has been put on by Obama. To do that we simply must not allow Sanders or Hillary to win...and, IMHO, to really do it, we need either Cruz or Trump to win the Whitehouse...though I think Carson would suffice as well.

HAcing said that, if it come down to Sanders or Hillary versus any of the GOP coandiates, I would vote for them and not cry and go home.

Ny own order of preference at this point is probably:

Cruz
Trump
Carson
Rubio
Kasich
Bush

Realistically at this point, I honestly believe Trump is in the driver’s set with Cruz probably the only one who could really challenge him.

I am fine with that. Having Trump and Cruz going into the convention with either of them having a majority of delegates, or having that majority together is something I can live with in any case.

. . Having Trump and Cruz going into the convention with either of them having a majority of delegates, or having that majority together is something I can live with in any case.

Mark Levin was talking about a brokered convention. As I understand it, they want to continue to have four or so GOPe guys in the primaries to split the vote so Trump or Cruz won't have enough delegates at the RNC Convention in Cleveland. He said Rove, Bush's and RNC attorney Ginsberg and the GOP establishment have this all figured out so they'll have a brokered convention. That's why I assume early on Jeb said, "I'm going to be the nominee."

If Reince Priebus, RNC attorney Benjamin Ginsberg, (Bush's lawyer in the 2000 recount), and the rest of the Republican establishment pull their tricks and shenanigans at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, July 18-21, then they're going to see 1-2 Million Patriots show up and demand the winner of the primaries get the nomination.

No Tricks, no Recounts, none of this changing delegates around, no brokered convention. If Trump wins all the primaries except Texas and Utah, he's the nominee. Period.

The city of Cleveland better get ready for some major rock and roll if Priebus, Jeb's attorney Ginsberg and the Republican Establishment deny Trump the nomination.

How the Republican Party Stole the Nomination from ron Paul Article re 2012 RNC Convention

A Brokered GOP Convention in 2016? Worth the read. From this article:

"Every primary, every caucus, will essentially be a beauty contest," Haugland says of 2016. "Now, those results will be persuasive to delegates that go to the convention. But the delegates to the Republican convention are going to choose the next presidential nominee. Nobody will have the majority of delegates from eight states before the convention."

and Campaigns secretly prep for brokered GOP convention Candidates, outside groups and party officials are quietly maneuvering for a nomination fight that goes all the way to the bitter end.

And we're just getting started. . .
