I’m also curious about Rush’s take on Cruz being okay with a contested convention.

Contested is different from Brokered. Contested means he and Trump fight it out at the convention.

Bokered means the GOPE pick someone despite the will of the voters for Cruz or Trump

A contested convention is one where the candidates involved fight it out, and back room deals by the establishment do not. It is not a brokered convention where the “powers that be” pull all the strings to nominate their candidate.

I am curious about that, because before last night Cruz said he was not for a contested convention, but after those bad results he is now.

I am not listening to Rush but could you give me an update please if he mentions it or makes excuses for Trumps big win.

Okay. I cannot be nice (sorry, Johnnie) when you post a lie. Not just a lie, but a damn lie.

Cruz has been by far the most vehement against a brokered convention. He has condemned it in the most ardent way.

I don’t know what Trump thinks,

but DO NOT lie about Cruz and the brokered convention thing.
