But, that will surmise Trump coming to the convention probably within 100 delegates of winning and having that huge gain taken away from him.
It also does not take into account GOPe meddling in trying to ensure that neither Trump or Cruz wins.
IMHO, any of these outcomes...even if they do "follow the system," will be pyrrhic.
either the Cruz people (if they lost) and particularly the trump people (if they lost) would feel disenfranchised and would be so emotionally invested that they walked away...and that ends up in a Hillary win.
The only path I see, is for Ted Cruz to, perhaps after the May 3rd election, come to an accommodation with trump and unite the party behind Trump.
I am an avid Cruz supporter.
As much as I like him and believe he would be better over all...the facts on the ground are what they are and I am more dedicated to the nation and our republic.
A 3rd Obama term would be absolutely disastrous...and it would leave the GOPe intact.
we need to avoid that...and Cruz can make that happen, and it is what I believe he should do for the sake of the country. Immigration and the Wall
Ending the Iran deal
Overturning Obama Care and replacing it
Improving our foreign Relations
Absolutely defeating ISIS
Brings Jobs back
His Tax Plan
etc.
We would be well on pour way to turning America around and Cruz can help make all of that happen.
It would also most probably lead to Cruz being president after Trump.
We lose all of that with an ugly, raucous, convention floor fight.
I reluctantly agree.
I don’t trust Trump for a minute but if he gets that close and is inevitable ....
I trust Ted to do what is right for the country.
Not sure it is Trump but really sure it isn’t Hillary.
Good post. I just can’t see Cruz mending fences with Trump. Cruz is very much unlike Carson.
