What I meant to convey was that if Rubio dropped out of say, Texas, then Trump would get more of those votes than Cruz would.

I don't accept that as a given. Both are Hispanic in a state that is heavily Hispanic. There are rumors that Rubio's wife called Cruz's wife and urged her to convince Ted to drop out in FL so that it becomes a two person race. Both Cruz and Rubio say that they want it to be a two man race between one of them and Trump.

Anybody would do that. First though, they have to accumulate enough delegates to make a difference.

True enough. Right now Trump has 82 delegates with the other four candidates in the race having 43. The winner-take-all phase starts on March 15. There are some big states out there that could shift the balance.

Find some ambitious and manipulable idiot, pump them full of footballs, and elevate them into a VP or other position of power.

We are not talking about the VP of a company. This is about the Presidency of the most powerful country in the world. Do the "old dogs" think they can control either one of them once they get the whiff of power and fame? They are playing a dangerous game.

How do you see Obama in that regard? A mastermind? Good leader? Builder of sound teams? All the power brokers need to do is put a weakling in, and then run the operation from a different level, not necessarily "through" the figurehead.

Necessary for the globalists to have a person in the role of US pres, who is not averse to the globalist agenda, and all that entails for the US. A fellow traveler.

I think I figured out a way to say what is on my mind. The two of them togehther take more votes than either one of them alone could. The agreed goal is to minimize delegates to Trump. The not-agreed mechanism is which of them, alone, is better suited for that mission.
