Ted Cruz is clearly pinning his hopes on winning the GOP presidential nomination via a contested/brokered convention this summer in Cleveland. Drifting slowly beneath the Establishment swamp though is a small army of RNC-devoted delegates who are poised to quickly alter the nomination outcome upon the second and third votes, and neither Donald Trump nor Ted Cruz are likely to survive that outcome.
Why Mr. Cruz continues to allow himself to be used so openly by the GOP Establishment as a wedge to prevent Donald Trump from reaching the majority of delegates necessary to lock up the nomination remains unclear to even some of Cruz’s supporters. Cruz has embraced the Republican Establishment in recent weeks, turning his campaign over to the very forces he once railed against as the “DC Cabal.”
Watch the following video to see what the RNC has already planned in order to overtake the nomination process during a brokered convention. It comes in the form of 168 RNC-loyal delegates who will quickly break away from Trump once voting begins, and then likely do the same to Cruz and finally coalesce behind a candidate who might not have even won a single vote during the primary race – a “fresh face” as GOP Establishment strategist Karl Rove recently declared could emerge.
It’s hard to imagine a man as intelligent as Ted Cruz is unaware of this, which would suggest he’s a willing accomplice in the willful disenfranchisement of millions of GOP primary votes, and if that is in fact true, the remaining question then is WHY?
The fix is clearly in, and this video outlines exactly how the Establishment intends for it to play out at the GOP convention...

Trump is millions of votes ahead.
Cruz is now completely gaming the contest, to try to overcome the voters.
Cruz is totally going mainstream GOP suck-up, big time.
I do think Trump should give up and go home. For his own welfare.
Quislings? Running the DC power circuit?
More status quo and rearranging deck chairs ahead.
Open borders, more refugees, more debt.
The UNIparty.
Turns out those primary votes, and ours too, mean nothing.
Trump is toast.
Exactly. He hasn’t won a majority in a single state.
There’s no way the establishment is going to cede the party to a minority faction bent on the destruction of the party.
Trump will not win.
IF he were the choice of a majority of the Party, he’d be unstoppable.
He’s not.
That’s why his supporters are here whining that others should quit because it’s not fair if Trump gets beat playing by the rules.
The real race is delegate loyalty. You bet your last donut the establishment is gaming to win that game. At this point, only Cruz is even offering them a challenge.
I'm starting to think about being there too.
Trump is running so that his family doesn't look at him know he could have fixed things but didn't.
I want my boys realizing I cared enough about their futures that I did what I could to get our country a great leader again.
You get it. So many here don’t.
Hoosiermama gets it. She has a terrific video on globalization link and I hope she will share it with you.
America is on the short-timer list. I don’t expect this country to be sovereign much longer.
I agree, and I really don't think those fools at the RNC are getting the message.
I think Trump has a lead of 6,7 to 1 over Cruz. I’m beginning to think most of the Cruz supporters here are just Bush, Rubio, Romney plants.
“It’s hard to imagine a man as intelligent as Ted Cruz is unaware of this”
From what I’ve seen/heard, the stories of Cruz’ intelligence are greatly exaggerated. It’s an urban myth.
You are wrong.
Cruz sold out to the GOPe.
Completely sold out.
That's dumb, Cruz's public support is extremely soft. He has numbers where only small portions of his support even, apparently, like him, and aside from stealing a few delegates here and there, has no hope of winning if Trump doesn't get the necessary 1235 delegates. No one will be rising up to save Ted Cruz in a convention. Cruz's surrogates in the media, like Ben Shapiro, will drop him in favor of a "fresh face" basically as soon as they are told to do so.
Caucuses are the realm of the politically corrupt. The more complicated and difficult they make it, the easier it is to deceive.
I seriously want the NAMES of all the delegates going to the convention. I want the names made public. Can we make that happen?
If anybody other than Trump is the nominee. No one will be fighting for Cruz other than a micro-minority of FReepers. Cruz himself is probably angling for a VP spot as it is, but just not with Donald Trump.
Reinventing and the DC political class will rue the day
Correction: If anybody but Trump is the nominee, it will be the end of the Republican party. Cruz isn’t a factor except to do the bidding of the establishment, and he’s too dumb to see it. Maybe he does know it and doesn’t care. HE’s getting his 15 minutes of fame, flying all over the country, staying in swanky hotels and dining in fine restaurants - all on other people’s money. He also racks up quite a bar bill, as he likes his booze.
so to be clear cruz has over 2 million votes less and has only win 3 primary states and he is better than Trump.
cruz came third in 3 swing states, failed to win a single county in VAS FL and cruz is better in those swing states
wow
me too because the establishment talking points keep being spouted and there was once when we were all against the establishment.
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
