I am disheartened by the way people are so partisan among their own party. Ted Cruz is not that far from Donald Trump yet people seem to hate him for continuing to run. If Cruz were to quit now it isn’t a certainty that Trump would benefit from it. Cruz was the only Senator to try to prevent Obamacare from being funded. Doesn’t that count for anything? Yet people are as vehement about him as they should be about Clinton.
“Ted Cruz is not that far from Donald Trump yet people seem to hate him for continuing to run.”
The problem I have is how Cruz has gone about his campaign. It’s abundantly clear, even though some who claim “ conservative purity” here think otherwise, Ted Cruz hasn’t made the sale with the voters and Trump is going to be the nominee. So it is that I don’t “hate” Cruz for continuing to run, I hate him for the tactics of distruction he’s currently employing in his effort to stay in. Both he and Boobio have employed tactics that go beyond decency. So while there was a time I’d have considered Cruz, that time has passed due to they way he’s been conducting himself. You really see what someone is made of when the chips are down. Being willing to do and say anything that you think will advance your cause, irrespective of the relevance and decency involved, makes Cruz a looser in my book. He’s been down in the gutter since Iowa. Now the gutter is flushing him toward the drain.
So he should be handed the nomination, and not actually compete for it?
I’ve never seen a candidate that is too stupid to win in natural constituencies, but still feel like they are entitled to the nomination!
