My gripe is con artist Cruz sees a "party rule" and connives to make it work only to HIS advantage.
Crux is exactly the type of candidate w/ an obsessive thirst for power that the Framers of the Constitution wanted the new Nation to guard against.
Cruz is fond of using his numbers as an anti-Trump-vote ...but Cruz never applies Trump's votes against himself.
If Trump won by staggering numbers....that means Cruz lost by staggering numbers.....many many more rejected Cruz than they did Trump.
Does this look like Trump was rejected?
Trump.....8,256,309.... 37.0 1%....758 delegates
Cruz......6,319,244....28.33%.....533 (plus all he can steal)
Cruz keeps losing and losing. About time he bows out gracefully and admit he lost. And he should stop finagling the numbers.
That's exactly what started turning me off to Cruz. His best bet, being that he is still only 44 years old, would have been to help Trump beat the establishment GOP and he would have set himself up nicely for future runs. Now he has leagued himself with the establishment that the American people are fed up with. Further, his clutching and grabbing for every delegate in a lost cause can only hurt Trump and help the establishment.
He is being used by the GOP establishment to keep Trump under the 1237 so that they can insert their own establishment candidate at the convention (and it won't be Cruz). Cruz is being used and he doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Unless this is some part of a master plan that he and Trump thought up months ago to gobble up the delegates and freeze out the GOP establishment. Maybe Cruz surprises us in the end and throws his support to Trump, in which case, I will apologize for feeling like I do today. But based on Cruz's recent actions, I think he has definitely leagued himself with the establishment - putting his career over country.
