It’s interesting that this piece mentions Cruz’s move and how it backfired to solidify support for Trump.
Imagine if Sanders does something similar today — suppose he gives a nice speech but does not actually endorse Clinton. It would have the opposite effect among Democrats. It would solidify the opposition.
This is turning out to be, in the words of another Freeper yesterday, the best election ever.
“Imagine if Sanders does something similar today suppose he gives a nice speech but does not actually endorse Clinton. It would have the opposite effect among Democrats. It would solidify the opposition.”
Exactly. The big difference is that Sanders supporters (correctly) assume that the game was rigged against them - whereas the Cruz supporters were instead trying to RIG THE GAME against Trump. Perhaps in Cruz’s strange mind he was some kind of Republican superhero, thinking that he’s saving (or tried to save) the country from the ravages of Trump, but to 95% of Republicans now - he just looks like a nutcase. We pity him, especially considering the incredible potential he squandered away.
It will never happen. Have you listened to him? Even though he has many of the same issues as Trump, but with disasterous "solutions", he despises Trump. It's pathological, a fellow New Yorker who cannot stand that Mr. Trump has spent his whole life being productive, earning billionaire status, while Sanders spent his whole lazy life bein' cool and finding a way to get a government check. You really think he wants to permanently change his lazy and comfortable lifestyle to lead a movement? Won't happen.
Can Sanders supporters sue him for fraud?
