You need to get this Trump Kool-Aid about “manipulating” the delegates out of your mind. Ford did that to Reagan. The rules are the rules. Anyone who does not vote against Hillary or Bernie has no grounds to be called a conservative in any sense of that term

I agree with you, but the seething hatred towards Cruz of many Trumpsters outweighs ALL other considerations.

Actually, Ford got almost a million more popular votes than Reagan in the primary of 76. And he was the incumbent. It was a very situation than this.

Trump has 2 million more votes than Cruz. Neither is an incumbent. So why pick Cruz?

Absolutely. And that includes the Cruz supporter Romney Rule: write in the candidate of your choice. Turnabout is fair play, FRiend.

Getting your browbeating arguments into shape already, eh?

Could you add something about how effective the GOP landslides in 2010 and 2014 were at stopping Obama?

Or, perhaps something about GOP politics as usual being the only way to save the republic of the elite, for the elite, and by the elite?
