Being back in reality, Cruz is a very conservative guy.
Having his delegates vote as a block on conservative issues is good for the country.
He’s correct from what I have found with a cursory check:
Kansas: 24 Delegates -National Convention Delegates are bound unless released by the candidate. [Section VI. 1., 2.D., and 3.]
OK: 15 Delegates - Delegates are bound until released. “Each delegate ... to the national convention ... shall cast their vote on all ballots for the candidate ... If that candidate is ... no longer a candidate, the votes ... shall be cast for any candidate of their choice.” [Oklahoma Statutes §26-20-104 G.]
Texas- 104- Couldn’t locate this, but I’m sure it is similar to KS & OK
I wonder. For instance, the transgender thing should not be at a federal level. That's part of the current problem, every single social issue has gone national. It's the equivalent of legislation without representation because once it goes to the federal level, the people in the states are drowned out.
I'm a potential Trump delegate and if I do get the opportunity to go, anything Cruz or a Cruz delegate suggests will get an immediate No from me. It is not their show.
He just needs to really understand that this time right now is not his. Whatever he’s said and however he’s conducted his campaign up to now I’ll chalk up to rightful exuberance and indignation against the establishment (at first) and then against our real preference for change (later). Zeal and a conviction of his right.
Unfortunately, the majority of pissed off Americans wanted someone from totally outside the political establishment that speaks their language. It is up to Mr. Trump to live up to that concurrence and expectation.
Ted is young enough and strong enough and persistent enough to recover. He need only get back to work and become a real force for substantive anti-political establishment change and help it willingly. What the future holds for him depends on how he conducts himself in the coming days, weeks and months.
A reasonable person would think so, yes.
