We’ve had brokered conventions before. In 1924, the Democrats had 103 rounds of voting before reaching a nomination. Cruz is, in his own words, a driven guy. I don’t see anything nefarious going on here. I would rather have someone who understands how the inside works rather than a man who lacks a core set of principles (Trump).

The US is not a direct democracy. It’s a republic, meaning that people vote for others to represent us. You distrust Cruz; I distrust Trump. I think that’s all there is to it.

No, that’s not all there is to it. One of them has vastly superior support from the electorate.

What? Cruz, core principles? He is a liar. He has proved it several times. He intimidates voters. He attempted to steal Carson's votes. He's partnered with Beck who is a flaming goofball; Neil Bush who has a sullied reputation, and Romney...

Cruz is losing because his actions illustrate that he lacks judgement because he lacks morals and ethics. If any of my kids pulled the stunts Cruz has, I'd write them out of my will. Cruz is a disgusting excuse for a human being.

“Cruz is, in his own words, a driven guy.”

But Trump is not? Who has accomplished more?
