You know what? That's it in a nutshell. If Ted Cruz was who he claims to be, he would NEVER climb up in a basket with Willard Romney, the ultimate, consumate Establishment Elitist. He would temporarily put aside ambitions for President and back the anti-Establishment guy, even if he hates him.
If you assume for a minute that my previous suspicions are correct -- that Cruz has been working with the Establishment all along, working as a Placeholder -- then it's not hard to figure out where he's hoping it will go. Cruz, Rubio, & Kasich get enough delegates to deny Trump the 1st convention ballot, then Cruz hopes to make a VP deal with Romney: "My delegates are yours if I'm your VP." (I don't know the math behind this. Would that work?!)
Then Romney-The-Elitist could "show proper humility" by picking "The True Conservative," Ted Cruz, to be his running mate. They could trick millions of people like me and you to do what we did for Sarah Palin -- hold our noses and vote for VP Cruz.
The perfect plan. If true, I'm glad they're having to work so hard to make it work. Thank you, God for Donald Trump.
And even if none of that is true, you still go back to what CottonBall said:
"Now, he is showing his establishment roots. A nonestablishment conservative would not side with Romney." Case Closed.
Make your choice and live with it, Ted. Donald Trump has spent the last 9 months flushing out the RINOs. Are you one of them? Because we need to know NOW. You managed to hide behind Donald's coattails for months, pretending to be aligned with him. Why should I trust you now?
Thanks for the Lame Cherry link, little jeremiah. I've been seeing that name a few places; I'll check it out.
If Ted does not want to be part of the establishment then tonight he must condemn Romney and how the establishment has done their dirty tricks.
He also should not repeat any of the attacks the establishment has done, that includes the mafia crap or taxes.
I didn’t see y’all had already figured this stuff ou and were talking about it. You may be interesting in reading 215 and 277. :-)
They might well pull it off. You never know. I love America more than I hate the gop wing of the uniparty, so I hope DT is successful.
As for Teddy, those who are willing to look with an open mind are not going to like what they see. Campaigns are very good at showing the candidates as they really are. Assuming we’re willing to give a critical and honest look.
Well said. Cruz, Rubio and Ryan are huge disappointments. Romney less so because his betrayal isn’t a surprise.
