Yep, I’m sure Rubes did know about it, and maybe intended to use it then called it off, but I think the GOP itself is pushing this.
Bring down Cruz, pin it on Trump, both campaigns blow up, say hello to brokered convention and Bush/ Ryan, or Ryan/ Kasich, or whatever faggotry they can come up with to hand the election to Hillary.
I think there would have to be a woman in the mix now. If Cruz and Trump are out of the race, that is.
