There should be no second ballot. Cruz should step down because he is mathematically eliminated. Jim Robinson also stated Cruz should step aside.
You and Jim Robinson think Cruz should step down??
And he hasn’t.
OMG
Cruz should step down when Trump gets a majority of the delegates, or the math makes it clear Trump will get a majority. Right now, neither you nor I know if the majority of the GOP measured by either popular vote or delegates wants someone other than Trump. That’s why many elections have a rule that says no one wins until they get 50% of the vote or of the delegates. That’s why we have run-off elections and why the Electoral College requires a majority of electors to award the presidency. Until a majority is demonstrated, we do not know if 50% + 1 are totally opposed to a candidate. Majority does rule in elections, but until you show you have 50% + 1, the majority hasn’t made a declaration.
