Sen. Ted Cruzs hopes for winning the Republican presidential nomination outright have faded, and he has shifted to a strategy of gaming the rules, angling to send enough double-agent delegates to the July convention to snatch victory from front-runner Donald Trump.
Its a major reversal for Mr. Cruz, who just weeks ago insisted he would win the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the convention. But major wins in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado have not closed the gap, with a series of East Coast primaries looming.
Now the best option for the senator from Texas is trench warfare at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

The voters are going to be very bitter and we will lose the
Presidential election ... I guess thats the plan. “
I think you nailed it.
GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.
See:
Tech billionaires (major Dem donors) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
“Heres a novel idea.
1. You develop a platform
2. You announce that you have entered the race
3. You address people in public and spread your plans
4. You submit to elections where people get the choose between your plans and the plans of others
5. You let the chips fall where they will
6. You dont bother trying to get delegates who were fairly won, to switch to you rather than the person who won them.
Ted proves each day that he is not an honorable man.”
Amen
Uh-oh!
Wait a sec: Could Trump be shut out on the first ballot at the convention due to
Rule 40?

Candidate Cruz, in his zeal to win at any cost, is irretrievably losing good will thatll be almost impossible, if not impossible to win back, should he succeed at the convention.
Voters and Trump voters, in particular, are very unhappy with the RNC/GOPs rules.
The vast majority of voters were under the mistaken impression that our votes counted!
Helloooo Senator Cruz. Are you deaf?
Would be a more powerful statement if there wasn’t a boogieman chumming it up with the Bushes.
Why would they do that John? Trumps winning. Btw, I’ll see ya after the big Trump win in NY!
“:^)
Yes, and neither the American People nor the GOP voters are going to tolerate that.
Could Ted Cruz be any more GOPe?
Because he certainly couldn't appear any more GOPe...
So if Trump can’t reach the magic number on the first ballot then it will be Ted Turn and he will win!!!
Great rundown.
I’ve been a long FOX news holdout. I’ve been with them since the inception.
It’s hard to admit, but I just can’t seem to keep them on for very long..It all seems to devolve into anti-Trump messaging. The exception is Sean, who I think has kept it real.
I wish it was different, but, they’ve forgotten their viewers. I will miss the good times.
Sound strategy by Cruz, hope he is successful.
I will too.
You used to be able to turn on FoxNews and find some pretty good programming.
Now...
I don’t even bother.
That’s all you’ve got???
ROFL
Amazing to see cRuzbots calling this tactic “sound strategy”.
you’re proving my point.
Double-agent delegates for a double-agent candidate who is a globalist in constitutionalist’s clothing.
Isn’t it though???
