Comes off as a slick lawyer.
Can you imagine as an example, if it were to come to AZ - who overwhelmingly voted for Trump, that some AZ delegate or super delegate voted for Cruz on the 2nd round in Cleaveland, whether on live TV or behind the scenes, and then it was announced that Cruz won AZ on the 2nd round? Think about that for a second. Does anyone in the Cruz world have any common sense and understand the power of optics? Then when the RNC announces that Cruz won AZ on the 2nd round, all the new feeds show a LIVE split screen with thousands of people in Arizona protesting about what is going on in Cleaveland? Stealing the nomination away from Trump? Think about a LIVE television split screen of Trump protesters in state after state where Cruz has cut a back room deal to win on the 2nd round.
It's about he optics and Cruz will lose on his so called 'brilliant' back door strategy in state after state. After all the hard work Trump supporters put into ensuring their candidate won the primary, are they going to have to start holding rallies to denounce Cruz if he keeps this up? We want to save our energy for Hillary Clinton, not some carport bagger who is cutting back room deals in states he lost. Cruz is getting such bad advice, but what is is doing is showing his true colors.
