So true.
And the Ted Cruz fanboys want to act like that never happened.
A contested convention in which anyone besides Donald Trump is nominated, means a hopelessly splintered party, destroys voter enthusiasm, and hands the White House to Hillary.
And yet the delusional Cruz supporters want to travel that road, even though Ted Cruz has ZERO chance of being nominated on any ballot.
Now, even though Ted Cruz has been eliminated both mathematically, practically, and realistically, they're bargaining about "Why not just let the process continue", as if the GOPe hasn't meddled with it enough already.
What they're doing is placing their loyalty to their failed candidate above the interests of both the party and the country.
In essence, they're being as foolish, un-statesmanlike, and unprincipled as their candidate has proven to be.
But no matter, the Revolution will proceed apace with or without them.
But it's still tragic to see someone place their own personal ambition ahead of what's best for the country, all in a suicidal gambit that, if successful, would guarantee a Hillary Presidency in their best case scenario.
It's both shameful and pathetic.
If only more Ted Cruz supporters had the wisdom and grace of FReeper Jeff Head, we'd already be on the road to healing.
Instead, Ted Cruz's blind ambition and profound narcissism makes Donald Trump's pale in comparison.
I guess it'll have to be the hard way for both the party and the country. How shortsighted, foolish, and perilous, with absolutely no upside.
Vote Trump
The problem with this statement is that the interests of the party are not aligned with the interests of the People. Pushing Cruz and getting a contested convention is in the interests of the party. We will not get Cruz out of it, no matter what happens. We might get Trump, much watered down and weakened with compromises with the party, or we will get some Romney/McCain stand-in. That is in the interests of the party.
But, the banana republicans are corrupt. It is like worrying about what is in the interests of the mob.
