Cruz is indeed working it for the nomination—and I wouldn’t rule him out as quickly as the GOPe are presently.
His undermining of the Trump delegate wins by getting his people into Trump’s delegate spots could make a difference conceivably 1) in the writing of the rules for the convention, and 2) in getting to a majority on a 2nd or 3rd or later ballot. The more Cruzites and second-choice Cruz sympathizers in Trump’s delegate pool, the more likely that Cruz could wrestle the nomination from the GOPe—should Trump not clinch it on the now all-important first ballot for him.
I think Trump is the only chance the GOP has in November, since he could put some big blue and purple states into play—and neither Cruz nor Ryan is likely to do that.
So Wisconsin, I beg you—haven’t you inflicted enough on the country already with Ryan and Priebus? Please, please, please come to your senses in voting tomorrow and give Trump an almost assured first ballot victory.
Do you play chess? At the level this Game of Thrones is being played any move made by the existing ruling class will have back up. Already we are seeing the delegate system is rigged where the unbound are almost all inside party people.
So already that’s massive block of delegates to play blockage on the 2nd vote. Then you have the Fact the Trump crowd is very large and very energized ensuring Cruz cannot get the 2nd vote. Once it goes to the third all are unbound - Many of which are not as they appear but even more insiders. Then its simply a matter of arm twisting by hook crook money threat etc to get the number they need.
We are fighting the largest criminal enterprise in the world, they have no ethics no morals and no conscious so imagine what they can do to get people to vote as they want...
And don’t forget his behavior makes Cruz the most untrustworthy back stabber in all of the GOPe.
We’re all sure that gets him elected, right?
If they redo Dexter on Showtime, Cruz might make the perfect replacement.
