I knew this when Romney endorsed Cruz one week, then Kasich the next. They are moving the piece on the board to block Trump.
Cruz doesn’t realize he will be tossed aside at the appropriate time with someone the GOPe finds acceptable.
Cruz at this point is strictly a block for Trump. He has zero chance of winning.
The affairs were kept out of the controlled state media until the approppriate time. However, after the shots on his wife Trump decided to drop the bomb.
“He has zero chance of winning.”
Not true. He has a small mathematical chance of winning, needing 85% of the remaining delegates to win outright. Of course, that’s a small chance, but a lot of things can happen. More importantly, he doesn’t have to win the delegate count outright if he prevents Trump from doing so. In a contested convention, Cruz’s chances improve a lot, especially after the first ballot.
I see a lot of grousing about Cruz’s efforts to secure support among unbound delegates and the selection of bound delegates. If it is part of the process under the existing rules, there is nothing wrong with it at all. Trump has the exact same opportunity to secure delegates.
One thing I have left in common with Trump supporters is that it would be wrong for either Trump or Cruz, having worked and fought so hard to win delegates, to have the nomination snatched away by the establishment jerks.
“...after the shots on his wife Trump decided to drop the bomb.”
Trump? He didn’t have anything to do with this story coming out, though desperate Cruzers continually insist that it simply must be the case.
