"A contested convention is the great hope of the Republican establishment, it is how they are drowning away their sorrows," Cruz said in late February. "All these crazy voters go one way, we'll step in with all of our money and anoint our white knight to ride in and save the day. That's not going to happen."
Yesterday he simply said he would be OK with a contested convention if its a two-man race by July and neither Donald Trump nor the Texas senator has amassed the required 1,237 delegates to win the nomination. A contested convention is a different thing where you go if nobody gets 1,237 and youve got two front-runners. Look, Reagan and Ford battled it out in a contested convention. Thats what conventions are for, Cruz said. If youre fighting with the candidates that have earned the votes of the people and its the delegates at the convention who elected to do that, thats the way the system works.
That's not a change in position, as much as the Trump smear folks wish it was. Actual quotes tell the real story, not misleading headlines.
Yesterday he said to Hannity he did not want a contested convention as that is now what the voters want.
Last night after the results he said he would be OK with a contested convention.
he will say and do anything to get the nomination and it is just another example of Cruz being a lawyer elected official and you support this and the establishment.
Make sure you get your welcome card off the establishment as you are with them now if you are for Cruz whether you like it or not.
