More than a couple, from what I hear. And it's easy to run out of ballots when one candidate's operatives are stuffing the box with multiples.
It's dealing with reality, that's what. State parties want to run an obviously corrupted process, might as well beat them at their own game. There is no "higher ground" to stand and preach on, that's utterly pointless. If the Dems and RINOS are going to play "win at all costs", seems pointless to play less than "total war".
If Cruz can't outplay Trump in March I'm cutting him off. That doesn't mean I buy Trump's "Cruz is a liar" mendacity. It's just politics.
The Republican party in California will be short another member because I can't play insurgent in public here any more, the Dems revel in sticking it to everyone who doesn't play ball. They've successfully indoctrinated generations of children, immigrants, and children of immigrants. They consider all Republicans would be slave owners, bigots, criminals, sexual predators, would-be Nixons, you name it, Dems do it and blame the Republicans.
