No, they’re they’re saying “Toujour Prets.”

1) There was no way a contested convention could beat Trump. He was either going to be defeated at the ballot box or not at all.
2) He could beat him at the ballot box.
"If you want to beat Donald Trump here's how you do it: You beat Donald Trump with the voters,"
Working to replace delegates loyal to him for slots representing voters who chose someone else is an ugly enough game to play without suggesting he had planned it all along, even as a contingency. The other candidates are playing catch up on this kind of betrayal of the voters, and the process has become uglier and less democratic. To suggest he planned it from the beginning, even as a strong contingency, does not make him a "winner" it makes him a snake. My opinion of Cruz is higher than that. I take this moral failing to be an act of desperation rather than a long planned betrayal.
