I know at the Washington Convention most of the Cruz delegates look forward to “unity”, but also want to be involved in developing the party platform. Many mentioned keeping the wording in the platform about no abortions, and not accepting some of the things Mr. Trump has mentioned regarding allowing abortion for rape, incest or the life of the mother. So things like that the Cruz supporters (and others) will still be involved in shaping things.
Indeed. That is why I believe they have organized so well to be the delegates at the convention; to insure that the traditionally conservative values remain a part of the party platform. Given that most elected republicans don’t give a crap about the more conservative values of the platform I’m not sure it is worth the bother.
