If Trump gets to 1237 legally, he wins. End of story. Failing that, what's of prime importance? I'll tell you - locking out the establishment. (And please, don't come at me with Cruz = Establishment. You are smarter than that.)
How to lock out the establishment? Adopt convention rules that assure that only Trump and Cruz may be nominated.
Regardless of how our chosen candidates proceed, we of the base must press hard for some sort of alliance if Trump does not close it out before the convention.
Otherwise Rove / Romney may well have their way - again. I thought the theme was supposed to be "We Won't Get Fooled Again."
I don’t think you make a bad argument. I still can’t get behind Cruz, and I have to tell you, seeking to nullify the vast majority of primary voters in the Primaries and Caucuses, doesn’t seem to be the move of a Conservative.
It’s a GOPe tactic.
Ted is far more of an establishment man than you think.
He’s been in Washington on and off since 1999. That’s not an outsider in my book.
He’s using the GOPe operatives to advance his chances, and I don’t appreciate it.
Ted is flipping off close to half the voters this spring.
I can’t support a guy willing to do that.
If Cruz is mathematically eliminated and stays in the race to only prevent Trump from getting the 1237, please explain how that is not being an establishment crony?
