What a load of crap. Nobody's changing the rules!
The GOP rules don't say that someone with less than 1237 can't get the nomination, now do they?
The nominee should be logically chosen.
And the logical choice will be Donald Trump.
If Trump doesn't get over 1237, he's going to be VERY close.
And the Cruz fanboys seem to be denying the reality of the fact that Donald Trump has done amazingly well against the backdrop of a relentless character assassination campaign carried out not only by the Left/Media, but also by the hopelessly corrupt GOPe attacking its own frontunner. And Cruz showed his naked opportunism by joining them and piling on.
That campaign was able to slightly blunt Trump's momentum. But it was too little, too late.
GOP voters have been paying very close attention, and the GOPe, by failing in their NeverTrump mission, have now created a dynamic where it will be suicide for them to deny Trump the nomination even if he is a few delegates short of a majority (which he won't be).
How appropriate and ironic.
The GOPe has essentially defeated themselves with their Machiavellian foolishness, and Ted Cruz has done the same by casting his lot with them.
Cruz will be extremely fortunate to even get the VP slot. We'll see how much of a statesman he'll be once he sees multiple third place finishes in the Northeast states.
The GOPe should have let the chips fall where they may, but instead they overplayed their hand to such a degree that the GOP electorate will simply not tolerate any nominee other than Trump.
And once Donald Trump is the leader of the party, then the snobby elites who tried so hard to thwart the will of the GOP voters can be shown the door: Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham, and their ilk.
Failing to nominate Donald Trump means the death of the GOP via irreparable splintering.
So be it. My mother is a lifelong Republican who voted for Rubio down here in Florida, and has little affinity for Donald Trump. But when she saw what Mitt Romney tried to do, she was appalled.
Mom is ready to leave the Republican party if the convention betrays the voters whose enthusiasm has left the Democrats in the dust.
And if my mother leaves the Republican party, there will be millions just like her who will do so as well.
So, I'm double dog daring the GOPe bit-hes to steal the nomination from Trump, because I, for one, will enjoy transferring my allegiance to a new party which hopefully won't be as openly corrupt as the GOPe.
Bring it on. Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee, and anything else will be suicide for the party.
After Tuesday and next Tuesday, it's time for the losing candidates to grow up and do what's best for the party and the country: unite behind the presumptive nominee.
My opinion at the moment regarding VP is that Cruz has a very small window of opportunity to get his head straight if he wants to be make amends.
I don't think Ted Cruz will wake up in time, so he's going to be left out in the cold as far as being on the ticket.
That's which why I'm predicting that Marco Rubio or John Kasich will be offered the VP slot.
Unite or die!
Vote Trump
They are just trying to get psyched up enough to endure and survive the virtual evisceration that they know their candidate and his campaign is going to receive, in New York tomorrow and throughout the rest of New England over the next 3-4 weeks.
In the Western state of California The Donald is up about 20 points... and that is before the momentum build-up from his now certain New England wins bulldozes Ted within California so severely that Trump will have at least 25-30 percent points lead in voter support and the resulting delegate count advantage.
California is the wooden stake in Cruz’s failed candidacy and Ted’s personality and behavior in Wyoming, and Colorado work together as the hammer that is driving that stake.
