The ‘G’ OP has found a way to sabotage us. Cruz gets sympathy now, and after the primary, they have a contingency plan to pull the rug out from under him. In the meantime, Trump and Cruz supporters slug it out viciously. While Majority Leader Mc-Conman laughs.
‘25% is a big chunk of the voter pool.’
That is chump-change compared to Phase Two.
After the primary, that would be a BIPARTIZAN majority.
I don’t think this is at all fair to Cruz, but until he challenges Professor Laurence Tribe to a debate, Trump and Cruz supporters are locked in a cage fight of the ‘G’ OP’s making.
[I posted above why Tribe]
I won’t say it is easy, but all Cruz has to do is convince the doubters that he is NBC. It doesn’t have to be true in fact, just convincing. Like magic without a need to suspend disbelief.
I think the plan is for Trump, once he wins the nomination, to ask for a declarative judgment or Congressional resolution settling Cruz’s birther issue...and then put Cruz on the ticket as Veep.
