These rules were put in place to give Jeb the nomination.
Remember Jeb saying something to the effect that he would “lose the primaries and win the nomination”.
The thinking was that Jeb would run as a moderate and win a few primaries here and there but take home most of the delegates. And when Jeb got the nomination, conservatives would be brought around by saying, “you wouldn’t want Hillary in the White House, would you? You better vote for Jeb. “
The problem was that Jeb’s campaign crashed and burn, despite tons of money. So now Cruz is being used to stop Trump and bring a brokered convention. Where Cruz will have no chance of winning. But surprise, I think Jeb could at some certain point be a contender at a open convention.
I know its crazy but I wouldn’t rule anything out at this point.
I wonder about that too.
They’re doing everything they can to royally PO all of us, aren’t they?
Jeb’s SuperPacs and campaign still have lots of money
It’s not crazy, Yeb! was their number 1 choice all along.
I think you have nailed it. Cruz is so arrogant though, I actually think that he believes they would allow him the nomination.
Which they might if they really would rather have Hillary win.
Jeb is gone, long gone. Not going to happen.
Actually his quote is more along the lines of, “I will lose the primary and win the general election”.
