This week, in the Utah nominating caucus, I will vote for Senator Ted Cruz.
Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence. I am repulsed by each and every one of these.
The only path that remains to nominate a Republican rather than Mr. Trump is to have an open convention. At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible.
I like Governor John Kasich. I have campaigned with him. He has a solid record as governor. I would have voted for him in Ohio. But a vote for Governor Kasich in future contests makes it extremely likely that Trumpism would prevail.
I will vote for Senator Cruz and I encourage others to do so as well, so that we can have an open convention and nominate a Republican.

Putting the popcorn on for this comedy.
The GOP operatives will push this anti Trump effort and steal this election because as SO many conservatives have stated that they will back the republican they pick! And Cruz is their frontman.
They believe they have our votes either way. They always have before. They believe we are THAT stupid.
Are we?
I will not! NOT gonna happen. This party has used all of us long enough. I won’t vote for the party pick.
Oops - forgot that one.
Does UT have a WTA threshold?
but that applies only to the first ballot, right?
Fredo Corleone and Tedo Cruzeone too bad, they both tried their best.
I’m with you FRiend.
Ted Cruz just tweeted Thank You Governor!
He’s very happy about the Romney endorsement.

Here’s What Mitt Romney Said About Donald Trump in 2012 shows what a jerk he really is.
"Some of the themes from Trump’s sober and concise endorsement of the candidate will ring true to those following the current presidential race, but on Thursday it’s perhaps more interesting to look at Romney’s response to the endorsement. The former Massachusetts governor began with a statement that could be read very differently in retrospect (“There are some things you just can’t imagine happening in your life. This is one of them.”), but his praise for Trump was generally effusive.
“Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works,” Romney said, citing Trump’s record as a job creator. And, he concluded, “it means a great deal to me to have the endorsement of Mr. Trump.”
Backbiter!
I wish I could find that cartoon of the GOP elephants looking at Mitt Romney in a fire extinguisher box. Caption reads “In case of emergency break glass”. LOL!
Mitt it’s a primary not a caucus.
The know that nominating Cruz, his political career will be destroyed forever. This will be a 2 for the price of one deal for them.
mitt is no one!! ted is getting all the low lifes
“Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence. I am repulsed by each and every one of these.”
Sounds exactly like a Liberal attacking a Conservative.
Kasich should quit and campaign with Trump NOW.
Now the GOPee Pee candidate Cruz.

Is this what Cruz is really all about?
I used to like Cruz. I thought either Cruz or Trump would be a good choice.
Not anymore.
Trump is our only hope.
Mr. Cruz has sold out.
Now apologize to Mitch, Cruz.
On your knees.
Cruz is now Romney's bitch.
Chuckie Schumer will endorse Teddy soon.
