Agree with the sentiment, but then there’s realty. And one of the candidates is not living it.
Somebody please explain to me how Cruz can win FL and/or OH. Trump thumped him by over 1,000,000 votes, 600,000 in FL and 400,000 in OH. Those were not casual toss a coin votes for Trump, those were heart and soul votes.
Nobody is talking about this, but we can expect R’s to win red states, blues to win blue states, and then it comes down to FL, OH and probably VA. It doesn’t matter how much you like Cruz or dislike Trump or vice versa, voters by over a million already rejected Cruz in those states, it wasn’t close, and the only way to get Cruz the nomination is to boot Trump who will have in the 1100 delegates.
My heart and soul tells me Cruz knows his situation, and has an opportunity to do the right thing and unify us, the only question is, is he free enough from the GoPe and his money bundlers to do it, cause after Tues he can’t reach the finish line, and will need convention deals to do it, most likely destroying the Republican party and the Republic.
Six weeks ago I would have said yes, right now I’m not seeing it.
“Somebody please explain to me how Cruz can win FL”
He doesn’t ... he does not have a chance. All you need to know is how badly he lost to Trump here and how badly he is about to get beat in the NorthEast. Florida is the second home of the NorthEast.
What bothers me about Cruz is that he continues to throw NY Values and Mafia arrows at Trump so he can try to scoop another 4 or 5 delegates, not realizing (or caring) that every time he does this he is insulting more and more Florida voters. Instead of stepping down after NY, he will just fill up his bag of hand grenades and continue to blow up potential voters.
Cruz supporters are going to realize what a terrible mistake it was to run this civil war deep into July. You’re going to realize that, just like his bomb throwing in the senate didn’t advance any cause, he will have destroyed any unity amongst the same “squishy Republicans, Independents and crossover Democrats he is so badly going to need in the swing states.
At 8:01 on election night, because the voters he has insulted stay home, Ted Cruz will lose the great sunshine state of Florida, and with that, the election.
While you’re having a few beers to drown out the loss, you might do well to have a few shots along with it, because the GOP will lose Rubio’s Senate seat as well.
