Jesse Jackson once said that Bill Clinton was "nothing but appetite." I think of that line when I weigh Cruz. His ambition seems to have clouded his judgment. He wants to win the nomination in the worst possible way. If successful that's exactly how it will have been done.
I think Cruz's comment in relation to 1237 was lawyer speak. What he means (IMO) is that if he manages to defraud the will of the voter enough to get to 1237, he will have stolen the nomination fair and square.
Cruz has beleived “the ends justify the means” all his life, as long as the “ends” are his own ambitious plans. He’s not going to be able to “Voter Violation Notice” his way to 1237!
And we know know exactly what Ted Cruz’s New York Value is:
ZERO (delegates).
