Did Trump disavow Christie?


You’re kind of comparing apples to oranges here. These people aren’t endorsing Ted Cruz for President, they’re endorsing him as a 1,237 spoiler in the hopes of a contested convention so they can install GOPe. And Ted is happy to accept that outcome.

In a pig's eye.

Ted Cruz is in this for one reason and one reason only: to WIN the nomination and the Presidency. Any suggestion to the contrary is eyewash. Pig eyewash.

Exactly. I have no objection to Ted Cruz or anyone else running if he had a plausible path to the nomination. Cruz doesn't, if he has any sense, he knows that he won't get the 80%+ of remaining delegates that he needs. That means that he's knowingly doing this to give the GOP the brokered convention that it wants.

Cruz probably also realizes that he's about as well-liked as Trump within the party and has zero chance of being the nominee at a brokered convention, where someone to the RNC's liking like Bush or Romney will be the likely nominee.

So Ted isn't even running for Ted anymore, he's just become an attack dog for Jeb and Mitt.

God only knows why these Cruz people either try to draw a false equivalency or play flat-out stupid when it comes to these gope endorsements.

Trump cultist double talk psycho babble anyone?
It's ok for Trump to get establishment/RINO endorsements, but somehow a crime for anyone else to get such endorsements?

In other words, Trump supporters are only outraged about Lindsey Graham's endorsement BECAUSE he endorsed Ted Cruz. Had Lindsey Graham endorsed Trump, they'd be fine with it, just like they were when other "establishment RINOs" endorsed Trump (Scott Brown, Chris Christie, Chris Collins, etc.) and not one of them called on Trump to denounce the endorsement.

Senator Cruz would win in that situation... That is why he is fine with a contested convention.

If no one gets the majority, we need to hash it out on the convention floor.

It’s how it works.

It’s how Lincoln was nominated...

Deal. With. It.
