That;s patently absurd, and represents a statement of someone who is detached from reality.
I still await hearing from you whether you will support Cruz if he is nominated?
I've answered that question to you before.
I'm confident that Ted Cruz's nomination categorically will not happen, but in the event it does, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. In the past, I've expressed my willingness to vote for Ted Cruz if nominated, but that was in the context of Ted Cruz achieving a delegate majority before the convention.
As things stand, in view of the "NeverTrump" conspiracy (as evidenced, for example, by the tweet sent out by the official Colorado GOP Twitter account in the immediate aftermath of their delegate theft) I would find it very difficult to support Ted Cruz under such circumstances.
So would millions of other Trump voters who aren't as reasonable as I am, and with good reason. Indeed, strong majorities of GOP voters are on the record as believing that the party nomination should go to the candidate with the most delegates entering the convention, clear majority or no. This is yet another strong indicator of the splintering that would inevitably accompany the nomination of a candidate so weak, opportunist, and morally bankrupt as Ted Cruz. Not to mention the disloyalty to his own party and the total lack of leadership he showed in the aftermath of the cancellation of Trump's Chicago rally.
In fact, my sentiments illustrate many of the reasons that Ted Cruz usurping the nomination from Donald Trump would splinter the party, because the process, and the lead up to it would, rightly or wrongly (rightly, in my view) be perceived as the product of a totally illegitimate series of events. It's undeniable, unless you're a Ted Cruz fanboy, which an even larger swath of the country is not when contrasted with Donald Trumps significantly broader support.
That, no pun intended, is the elephant that would be in the room, should Cruz somehow magically succeed in wresting the nomination from its legitimate recipient, Donald Trump.
You've presented no credible argument for Cruz uniting the party given the real events which have been occurring for the last few months. The reason for that is that there is no credible argument. There is only wishful thinking and willful denial of reality.
The process has been tainted by the elites, to which Ted Cruz has hitched his wagon. That is the perception, and that will remain the perception, and I see no way for that perception to be altered.
That is why Cruz's mission is Quixotic, suicidal, egotistical, narcissistic, and pvertly destructive to the both the party and country. GOP voters aren't interested in Machiavellian candidates who act as the willing dupes of a corrupt elite intent on, literally, sabotaging the will of voters to the greatest extent that they can.
Anyone who is both intellectually honest, patriotic, and sane must hope, for the sake of the nation, that Donald Trump secure a clear delegate majority in the face of the overt corruption of the party elite, as well as the naked opportunism and conceit which Ted Cruz has engaged in and fallen prey to.
To argue that Donald Trump is actually a victim of a campaign of victimization is sheer projection.
False. By the way, it's a campaign of demonization, clear for all to see, and denying it because it comports with your propaganda goals is the "sheer projection".
The reasons that Ted Cruz neither deserves the nomination nor will get the nomination are obvious to even the most low information GOP voters in America. More and more Americans are warming to Donald Trump even in the face of an unprecedented campaign of demonization, whether conducted by media organization, pundits, or individuals of your ilk.
A Cruz nomination equals a Hillary victory and a splintered GOP. While you're at liberty to deny that, you aren't capable of effectively dismissing it or explaining it away. You're woefully behind the curve, as is Ted Cruz himself.
The longer this denial persists, the greater the risk for Hillary winning and the party splintering, and the more damage will be done to Ted Cruz's burgeoning political career.
Public opinion is shifting massively against Ted Cruz even as we speak, and that's just the reality of the situation. He may very well hang on for a while longer in his misguided and selfish quest for validation, but, sooner or later, he will acknowledge the truth of the situation.
The wiser among his supporters have already done so, as evidenced by the open letter to Senator Cruz so skillfully composed and posted by FReeper Jeff Head only a day ago.
He, an ardent Cruz supporter, clearly outlined what the disastrous consequences would be should the GOP convention be contested and the clear frontrunner displaced, and I find his reasoning to be far more compelling than the wishful thinking upon which you base your hopes for a contested convention, followed by a magical unifying of the party behind a candidate which GOP voters have resoundingly rejected in all but a handful of states.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump
Thank you for your clear thinking on this. You laid out the situation perfectly.
