It is stealing votes. The definition of stealing is taking something that doesn’t belong to you. The voters aren’t giving Cruz their votes, the system is.
When I vote I consider that my vote, not a bargaining chip in a merger. People died for that vote, risked everything they had in the American Revolution for that single vote. Rules don’t negate that.
Nah. The rules are the rules. Nobody is breaking the rules. Cruz is earning them according to the rules, and he’s not “cheating” to earn them.
