So even though Cruz could very well get more delegates going into the Convention than Trump, you’d really prefer that he drop out so that it won’t be contested.
Yea, I think I understand your point very well.
So I guess you’d agree that if he starts pulling ahead of Trump, then Trump should drop out for the same reason?
I’ll repeat myself:
“If you actually tried to understand what I (and others, including the author of this article) are saying, you’d understand that Cruz CANNOT win...and by his own standards (which he has applied to Rubio and Kasich), he ought to exit gracefully and allow the Party unify behind one person. He could even cut a nice deal for himself if he does that in the relatively near future.”
Yes, exactly. You finally got it - I want to beat the Dems, and I don’t give a rat’s ass who does it. ALL of the Republicans in the race would’ve been better than ANY of the Dems. Realistically, however, we’re between Trump and Cruz (and Cruz is right about Kasich, he should drop out). But Cruz is right at the cusp of not being able to win on the first ballot, based on sheer mathematics. He’s so close, in fact, that there is no realistic path to doing so even now, even if it is theoretically possible. So he should drop...and if Trump doesn’t get any delegates before NY, then HE should drop in favor of Cruz (but, again realistically, that isn’t going to happen).
