Of course Cruz would. Why isn’t he out of the race now? He’s already mathematically eliminated. He’s trying to steal it via 2nd ballot. That’s the ONLY way and ONLY reason he still in the race

Except, the only reason there would be a second ballot was if Donald hasn’t won the first. So you claiming that a second ballot victory is kind of misinformation.

Did Lincoln "steal" the election in 1860?
How about Eisenhower in 1952? Was that "theft"???

Learn the process. We are NOT a democracy, we are a republic, and the Republicans model their nomination process after the republic process, election of representatives.

Lincoln won on the 3rd, almost 4th, ballot by the way...

Nominee Home State 1st 2nd 3rd 3rd "corrected"
William H. Seward New York 173.5 184.5 180 111.5

Someone needs to remind Cruz that in a general the voters vote and you can’t bribe delegates to win.
Seeing as he can’t get more than 4 states to vote for him then his chances are about to slim and on Mars.
