so if they broker a deal using Cruz (whether they follow through on promises they make to him or not) - just what do you think tens of millions of Trump supporters are going to do to the GOP when it comes time for reelection to those cush Senate and House seats?

Just like you and Judge Jeanine have said.
I won’t be forgetting all the names the oh so Christian Cruz fans have called me. Nope. I get the chance to stand in the way of Cruz’s re-election in Texas and let me tell you I will actively ENGAGE in that process.
Actively.
That wouldn’t be a brokered deal but a contested convention where the delegates vote for the winner (if no one has 1237 votes—I think that’s the number).
There are other rules like you have to have won 6 states (I think) so Cruz and Trump are the only two likely to hit that threshold. Now they may change it before the convention but if they do that will be dirty and it might as well be a brokered convention.
But if Trump or Cruz hit 1237 it’s a done deal. They control their own destiny. If they can’t hit the magic number then the delegates need to wheel and deal to hit the magic number. Trump could possibly pull in Carson and get his delegates to hit the number and guess what you’d probably be happy about that—even if it is a contested convention. I’m 100% for supporting the existing rule set as is and not playing games anyway with them. If Cruz is 3 votes short of 1237 and Trump is 100 votes short...well then it’s time for the delegates to figure it out via voting. That’s how it works.
Also what happens to those cruz supporters if they put Trump in as the nominee at a contested convention.
You mean the same Trump supporters who are constantly telling me that not voting for Trump is the same as voting for Clinton?
If they have any integrity at all, they will vote for whoever gets the Republican nomination.
If they won't, then they need to stop telling me I must vote for their vulgar clown candidate.
