Cruz was already mathematically eliminated April 19th.
He needs 689 delegates to win the nomination but there are only 674 left.
That disparity will grow after April 26th.
Yet he still appeals to 100% of delegates in some states to ignore the votes of f their citizens and give him precious votes and split the party for his own ordained goals
Maybe Ted has a future in televangelism after this
If he was already mathematically eliminated, why has he (and for that matter Kasich) not dropped out of the race? Didn’t he call for Rubio to drop out when Rubio lost his home state of Florida? I will freely admit for voting for Cruz In the Texas primary. I also admit to being sickened by his shenanigans of late. ‘Wooing’ of the delegates may be legal but is far from ethical in the eyes of average Republican voters.
“Cruz was already mathematically eliminated April 19th.”
I see a lot of this posted and it is irrelevant. Trump has to win 1237 delegates to put pressure on the RNC to get behind Trump. If he cannot secure 1237, that isn’t Cruz’s problem, it’s Trump’s.
I want Cruz, but I am also a realist. Cruz will not get the nomination, period. What I like about Cruz staying in the race is it forces Trump to up his game. Trump has to work for every delegate, unlike Hillary who has been anointed and the nomination process is a formality.
Trump must be ready to take on the Clinton machine. Which means the nomination process is his trial by fire in preparation for the general. I’m pretty confident once Trump hits 1237, Cruz will pledge his delegates to Trump, as he should. At that point, everything will come together.
