That my friend is a losing strategy.

Assertion offered without evidence. Show me hard evidence of these ostensibly countless hundreds of thousands of otherwise rock-ribbed conservative voters out there who -- as per your premise -- will happily place Hillary Clinton squarely in the seat of ultimate power, because their delicate fee-fees got all hurted on Ted "Elmer Gantry" Cruz's tender behalf. Sans any such proof, I give said mythical creatures roughly as much credence as I would pixies, or dryads.

And what the hell good does it do anyone to continue attacking a now non-candidate?

It isn't my responsibility (or anyone else's, for that matter) to demonstrate whether or not it "does any good," thankfully. Again: you're the one advancing the claim (i.e., that Cruz voters will allow Cankles into the White House, out of sullen, stupid spite); you provide the evidence for same... or don't. Only one, however, will net you any observable results.

I must say, however: your portrait of the typical Cruzie as some shortsighted, rage-addled electoral drama queen isn't entirely as complimentary an illustration as you doubtless intend it to be. I'm perfectly willing to take your word on that one, however.

I don’t make statements that are unfounded. Since we’ve all been following polls and cite those that are positive and less likely to stand behind those that are not favorable (even if it is the same company we stood behind when showing positive). Anywho, I’ll provide a cross section of polls taken from both friend and foe sources that pretty much all reach the very same conclusion. Believe it or not, not my intent to force the issue or belief. It’s only my intent to share. We can either unite or divide as many here so gleefully are willing to do. Again dividing, maligning and scorching the earth does not a general win. Take it up with the pollsters

There are many more beyond these. I only included very few but most are showing the same trend. Many will stay home and that should give many pause and a change of strategy instead of continuing to lash out. Me personally I’ve been trying through positives to bring people along

Cruz has stopped his campaign, but has not conceded defeat, nor congratulated the presumptive nominee yet, nor has he honored his solemn pledge by publicly confirming his support for the presumptive nominee Trump.

He sent out confusing, conflicting signals about his plans for the convention in Cleveland, hinting to his supporters that he still has a chance to prevail, in spite of the obvious rejection by the voters.

He has not behaved in an honorable way throughout his campaign, and his roundabout assistance he gave to Hellary, by continuing his nasty and scurrilous attacks on the presumptive nominee, even after it was painfully obvious to everyone that he (Cruz) was not going to even get close to winning, ensures that he will continue to be attacked by many people until he wakes up and "does the right thing".
