Thanks for a thoughtful TRUE assessment of the situation (although I disagree with your statement about neither getting the nomination after the first ballot). Insults never carry the strength of truth but are much more easily spewed onto a forum page.
It seems like just not so long ago I was marveling at how many smart , insightful, funny and provocative people were on this forum and now it is filled with the opposite ilk.
If I had confidence that Trump and Cruz could hold onto their delegates after the first ballot I would withdraw everything I said. I am just so jaded and distrustful of the GOPe that I do not think this will happen.
