>>> but this Ted has to bow out to save party unity BS is BS.

The history of contested conventions is one of failure. In the last 100 years, with 8 contested conventions, only one contested nominee defeated an uncontested nominee from the other party. That was in 1932, with FDR coming to the Dem convention with over 50% of the delegates (but there was a 2/3 requirement for the nomination back then). He got the nomination on the 4th ballot.

Picking someone other than Trump at this stage means, plain and simple, Prez. Hillary. Cruz, a bright man, a Constitutional scholar, knows these things, but persists in his madness. Whether he is driven by ruthless ambition, or whether he is on the GOPe leash, I don’t know and I don’t care. All I know is that Cruz’ efforts at this stage are counterproductive to defeating Hillary Clinton, and I am not in a mood to forget it.
