Romney argues that even if Trump were to fail to reach the magic number of 1,237 delegates needed to capture the nomination going into Cleveland, he could still wrangle the votes by wooing delegates.
“My guess is some delegates might like to fly around on Air Trump or perhaps get a membership to Mar-a-Lago,” Romney told Gregory, a CNN political analyst, referring to the Trump owned resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Over the weekend, Trump boasted of his ability to persuade wavering delegates to come to his side, but insisted he won’t engage in such tactics because he thinks it’s wrong. The Trump campaign has been criticized for being woefully unprepared for the organization of delegates required by a presidential campaign.
One of the other two is in this to help Trump.
Question is...who?
Stay tuned...answer soon.
Cruz will need to drop out for the gope
Yes poor Mittens. Carrying on in the tradition of his backstabbing Daddy George Romney, the Brutus who stabbed Barry Goldwater in the back and helped give us that great president Lyndon B. Johnson (sarcasm).
I’ve been saying for a month that Trump is better off with two opponents than with only one. It’s common knowledge in election analysis. If Kasich (whose positions are as bad as RINOs get) is going to stay, both Cruz supporters and Trump supporters should celebrate the decision for Cruz to stay too. We want the opposition to Trump divided for the best chance of Trump getting the first ballot nomination.
If Cruz can’t beat the stuffing out of no hoper Kasich he will never win the general election against the Dem/MSM tag team. Of course Romney is just fine with Hillary winning in November.
Cruz is just a lousy candidate any way you slice it. Here we have a social conservative Texan who lost the ENTIRE South to a “NY Liberal”. He can’t seal the deal as the “anti-Trump” because the more people hear him the less they like him.
If Romney had campaigned this hard against The Won four years ago, he’d be running for re-election today.
Cruz should drop out and run as a third party candidate.
Yeah, that’ll show ‘em!
So the liberal Kasich voters go to Ted? Not so sure about that Mittens.
“After all these rules are a lot simpler than the rules of foreign affairs or the rules of our economy. And if you want to be president, you are going to have to deal with things far more complicated than republican delegate rules,”
Like the Obama rules for foriegn relations Kittens? And the repblicans rules you talk about are not made for republicans Kittens.
Good
If Cruz is the nominee, you can bet your last nickel that the whole citizenship,birthplace issue will be front and center and the courts will DISQUALIFY HIM as soon as Hillary is the Nominee opposing him.
Says the guy who campaigned for Rubio in FL, Kasich in OH and Cruz in UT. What an a-hole!
put a cork in it Mitt
And yet, bad-Gov. Willard RomneyCARE endorsed BOTH Kasich
and Ashley Cruz, and gave both $$$$$$ which
the rat known as Willard RomneyCARE
had stolen from the People after he suddenly
gave up like a wilted pansy
during the last election (for his dear friend Soros).
A two-man race isn’t going to stop Trump either, because his share of the support from whoever drops out is going to give him a clear majority rather than the near-majority he has now.
Kasich is not the second choice for most Cruz supporters and vice-versa.
He’s right. All the smart Cruz supporters have been saying this for about 6 weeks now. Trump has a ceiling under 50% but will continue to win many states with a mere plurality when he has multiple opponents splitting the vote. If this race had been one-on-one, Trump vs. Cruz for all of March and April, Trump likely would have been so far behind that he would have dropped out by now.
Most significantly, Kasich being in the race looks like it will hand California to Trump, which will put Trump at or very close to the nomination.
Well the idiot told people to vote for Kasich in Ohio and Cruz in Utah and so on... This was Romney’s idea from the beginning. He should blame himself for being dumb.
This might be the case. Mittens talks to Rove.
Why is he so worried?
