Time to start paying attention to the delegates - who by and large are members of ‘the establishment’. If Trump doesn’t get 1237 on the first vote, the unbound delegates could nominate anybody - even Jeb.
That’s the game now - deny Trump 1237 and ‘fix’ the situation at the convention.....and of course lose to HRC.
The Republican party will have a full revolt if that happens.
Pray it does not go physical.
You don’t have confidence that the genius Trump campaign knows how to vet its own proposed delegates?
I’m pretty sure the Cruz campaign knows to vet delegates.
Tecently a member of the rules committee said delegates are not bound on the first ballad and that the Republican party picks the canidate not VOTERS.
That’s where Cruz plans on winning it...at the convention....not at the primaries. He and his advisors know a lot more of the delegates who will be voting. He doesn’t care if he gets to the magic number, he just needs to make sure Trump doesn’t.
He will likely lose in the general if this happens, but either he doesn’t realize this, or doesn’t care.
"Deny?" Do you see them as rightfully his no matter how the remaining state primaries play out?
Read today Boehner, who has surfaced from his underground hole, supports Ryan as President. This is the end goal. The delegates are hard core GOP-E. Republican party leaders will do anything to deny Trump the nomination to put one of their men as nominee. They will even join with Soros, Democrats, Hillary, Sanders to destroy Trump. They don’t even care if it costs them the election and Hillary wins.
Just like with Romney when he through the Presidential race at the end.
“That’s the game now - deny Trump 1237 and ‘fix’ the situation at the convention.....and of course lose to HRC.”
Cruz needs to ask himself whether he wants to have a situation like this arise, which will absolutely kill any chance of the Constitution ever being interpreted properly. It won’t just be for the 25 years or so that Hillary’s Justices live, because of the judicial principle of stare decisis - wherein prior settled law is generally not over-ruled. Is THIS the legacy that Cruz wants to leave?
I ask that question because it is virtually impossible for him to get to 1,237 at this point. He (like everyone else) had it all planned out, and would have won much of the South...but for Trump’s entry into the race and his great success. So if Cruz simply cannot win, shouldn’t the same standard that he wants to apply to others (like Rubio and Kasich) also apply to him?
