We’re trying to box in some scenarios that Romney-Cruz will hatch to take Trump out and still save face enough to act as if they are dignified.
You and I know they don’t care. But what can we expect to see is the question.
Romney controls the GOP, he is still the head of it. As such he has access to all the apparatus; the phone lists, the names and numbers of the district and precinct captains etc.
The RNC and other organs of the GOP constantly mail out flyers to ascertain who is wanted, Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Other. Then they get the address, phone etc. Then they drill down to likely #NeverTrump types. Then they set them out to fill out delegate candidacy forms, and then spur them on to conventions with marching orders.
So this is how they are running ahead on the so-called ‘ground game’. They are using their database. I will bet they denied Trump access to it.
Keep in mind, in case you didn’t know, that Romney is one of the most dishonest persons alive today. Note that the tone, culture and environment he sets and creates, starts from his view of what’s outside him, and from that starting point, it flows downhill.
This isn’t so much about Cruz, Cruz is Romney’s stooge. This is Romney.
If we accept that Romney is the ‘mastermind’ behind this, then it’s safe to say he doesn’t allow Trump to reach 1237 even if Trump reaches 1237+.
This is not my throwing thoughts around. It’s already been published here:
2ndDiv wisely found a nonanswer. Of course he thinks it would be great if there were defections from Donald’s 1237+.
In response to your post, isn’t this where Manafort comes in with, and correct me if I’m wrong, plan 172?
