Ted’s dirty establishment-backed tricks have backfired.
This election was about the voters being angry with the GOPe for stabbing us in the back for decades. That’s why Trump and Cruz won, while Rubio and Jeb failed.
Cruz siding with the establishment rules and getting backed by the RINOs could only hurt.
Add to that, him overturning the will of the voters - much like activist judges have done for decades - has an already angry electorate taking notice.
For one so smart, dumb move, just dumb.

I am just livid about what has transpired...
I think I need to dust off my son’s punching bag...Seriously, I really do!
Exactly, its no coincidence at all that Trump’s numbers went up and Cruz’s went down nationally after WI.
The GOPe there gave him a win, a strong win, but it also removed anyone from the Cruz camp that was supporting him because he claimed he was an outsider who would stand up to the establishment.
It is insane that anyone, including Cruz himself, believes that he can walk out of the convention as the nominee. If the GOP think they have a coup on their hands now, try and use parliamentary procedures to deny Trump the nomination should he come up a handful of votes shy, and you will see the GOP literally end as a party in any meaningful way for at least a generation.
If you had another candidate close, you might get away with it, but the reality is, Trump will have between 1/3 and 1/4 more delegates than Cruz, and probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 million more actual votes... any attempt to deny the nomination, no matter how technically allowed, will wind up destroying the party.
Watching the GOPe dealing with what is going on is literally watching systemic insanity. Every argument made that they are only out to protect their power, and not interested one iota in the fate of this nation or her people is being borne out with ever move they make wit this anyone but Trump nonsense.
No wonder they haven’t been able to win the popular vote, with the sole exception of a sitting wartime president, and even then only by less than 2.5% of the vote, in nearly 3 decades. They truly are insane and self absorbed.
