If he doesn't get out of the way.

I think Trump is an imposter but it would be absurd for me to wish he would quit. It's understandable that you want to defeat Cruz. It's understandable that you might never support Cruz. But it's just silly to wish he would quit.

If Cruz is sincere about the GOP defying the will of the people with a brokered convention, then he needs to get out if he doesn’t have a clear path.

If his only path is a contested convention and he stays in, the writing’s on the wall.

Why would Trump leave what he loves doing, being where he loves being, and making the kind of money he loves making if he’s not sincere in wanting to turn America around? Doesn’t make sense. If he were an “impostor” what would be in it for him that could possibly be better than what he’s already got?

It's understandable that you might never support Cruz. But it's just silly to wish he would quit.

In terms of his political positioning, I very much support those same ideas (for the most part). But political positions and theories make very little difference when you have an establishment as thoroughly entrenched, and as thoroughly immune to public pressure, as we do now. It isn't whether I support Trump or Cruz that is important, to me. What is important is that one candidate has the potential to severely damage that establishment, and the other doesn't. But the one who doesn't (Cruz), does have the ability to block the one who does (Trump) from the nomination. That is why it isn't "silly" to wish he would quit. It is merely a recognition that the only path to defeating the establishment has, as a prerequisite, Cruz not denying Trump the necessary delegates to win on the first ballot. The best way to ensure Cruz not doing that, is for Cruz to do the right thing: back out, and publicly support Trump.
