From that perspective, these Cruz delegates could be finding it difficult to understand how it is that they are supposed to not even nominate Trump if he gets to 1237. But that is the plan they are being signed on to apparently.
It's getting pretty weird for sure. I am glad to have this whole tier of "control" exposed. They have nearly ruined the country with their seeming inflexible ideology and "no" votes and "against" votes while not winning a thing. They have made me complicit for far too long and now we are at the point of no return. It isn't enough for me to be one of those who can see the hand basket any more, let's do something already outside of "I told you so" and "I warned you".
“The obvious path in this strategy is for the insurgent delegates to hijack the rules committee and strip many of the Trump delegates of their credentials. They don’t have to create a first round victory for Not Trump, they merely have to deny Trump a victory. If this happens, Trump and his clown posse will leave the convention in a huff, Roger Stone’s flying monkeys will get a well deserved wood shampoo from Cleveland’s finest and then an actual nominee will be selected.
Once Trump is gone, then the real dogfight starts. Cruz may or may not prevail. And Cruz undoubtedly knows this. If he isn’t able to win on a second ballot then the doors are wide open to a compromise candidate. That will not be some go-along-get-along apparatchik anointed by the GOP leadership. Delegates that have carried off this coup will never, ever agree to that. We could see Rubio reemerge as a contender. Or Rick Perry. Or Scott Walker. Or someone else but whoever it is will be a quantum leap over Donald Trump.”
This is what I have thought will happen for a long time.
I have said for a long time that Cruz is being used as a tool to stop Trump. Just as the media is. Just as the party bosses are.
The candidate will be either Trump or someone acceptable to the GOPe.
My thought is they will strip some Trump delegates of their credentials. They will hold the first ballot at a time and place when delegates can not be there. Perhaps work with the Soros thugs to block traffic.
After the first ballot the new narrative will be that Republicans need a “dream team” to unify the party and defeat Hillary.
The narrative will be that the party needs to put the bad blood behind them from the ugly, divisive and distasteful primaries and find a fresh intelligent candidate who can unite the party and win. I think the Cruz delegates are starting to realize that they are being used. They are realizing that there are those scheming to disenfranchise the voters and let Hillary Clinton win in the general election. The delegates do not want to have to go back to their home states and have to explain why they have been a part of this scheming. They do not want to be a part of this.
