“If becoming the nominee in a contested convention is dishonorable, then there are several Republican Presidents who are dishonorable.”
You are deliberately twisting what JR said. The dishonor is in the way Cruz is getting delegates, bypassing the will of the people. And in the outcome he alone is causing - that a GOPe candidate gets the nomination. That will be in his head.
He said: “Because he has no path to winning honorably via we the voters.”
Because Cruz has broken no rules in gaining delegates, he has not acted dishonorably in that endeavor. Therefore, Jim must be talking about a contested convention and the presumed deal-making there.
