But if you have two candidates with a fairly strong pluralities (e.g., Trump and Cruz) and the representatives pick Cruz on the second vote, that’s pretty normal and has happened many times, in both parties.

The problem is, you know full well what they will do, and that will be to put up the most hard core, establishment jackboot licking guy they got, probably Romulan or Ryan. The moment the establishment guy is chosen is the very moment the ballot box quits working.

Neither Trump nor Cruz will be the Republican nominee......watch and see.

I agree the GOPe is probably that stupid.

But hopefully not.

Country has been going to heck ever since we let anyone besides white male landowners over the age of 25 vote.
