Right after Linda Grahm said to stop Trump the GOPe needed to back Cruz. They know Cruz has almost no chance of winning the nomination directly at this point (needs 64% to do so) All of a sudden Cruz wins a large number of delegates more then all data prior to Saturday said he would. This combined with the GOPe pushing Romney at a forced brokered convention makes one wonder if the GOPe is now backing Cruz pumping him up to deny both Cruz and Trump the nomination and instead install one of the Establishment.
“...makes one wonder if the GOPe is now backing Cruz pumping him up to deny both Cruz and Trump the nomination and instead install one of the Establishment.”
That’s pretty much it.
They have nothing to lose because they think people will fall in line least they want Hillary to win, not that the gope will try anyway.
To quote “Rocky,” . . . “Absolutely.”
I’ve said for two months this was their plan. They can’t stop Trump without the Cruzers. They have that strong 20-30% block, depending on the state.
I still believe if Trump can show with a win in MI and MS that he’s completely in the driver’s seat and that Cruz would need 70% of all remaining delegates to win, Cruz might talk turkey.
That’s exactly what they’re doing.
