Which may be why Cruz is going all out to win Florida. I’m guessing that if he loses to Trump in Florida that he drops out and endorses Trump.
Cruz knows he would be next to get screwed over
I don't know about other states, but in Michigan, precinct delegates choose state delegates at district party caucuses which choose RNC delegates. The system is set by the county party leadership (which half of is also chosen by party leadership, while other half are the republican nominees for county office which may or may not be officeholders).
I don't know which way the 7th will go. I expect Cruz to win an 8th district caucus.
It is a legit means, but would it be smart? No. Not in a year where everyone already feels betrayed.
Cruz is finding it uncomfortable to try to say he’s a fellow “outsider” and non-establishment candidate like Trump when he’s built his entire career on his Ivy League education and elitist connections.
THe more the convention becomes “Dealing For Delegates” the more it falls right into Trumps wheelhouse.
The RNC/GOP does not care if they have to burn the party to the ground to prevent the citizens from electing a President that would stop The Cheap Labor Express.
They have always been able to nominate an amnesty candidate, Trump is breaking that stranglehold.
They will do whatever it takes to stop him from becoming President.
There would be a run on pitchforks if the GOPe forces a brokered convention.
Yes & if one hair on Trump’s head is harmed- or of any person in his family, the result would be the same or worse.
America. has had. Enough. Of government corruption, of the intentional destruction of our country & our society, and of senseless violence.
Well, let’s make it official.
Cruz, after he loses FL and OH, will begin to make up with The Donald and will be his veep.
I have thought this from eight months ago. This was all kabuki theater.
Cruz knows he doesn’t have a straight shot to win so why is he objecting to a brokered convention? Here’s what I think Cruz’s strategy is.
1. Get to a brokered convention.
2. Scream it’s unfair but the establishment won’t let Trump in.
3. Preach his “I’m the only outsider left who can make it” bit
4. Try to convince Trump voters to support him and still get an insurgent.
It’s obvious now that Cruz has seen the revolution coming for a while, that’s why the filibuster, calling Reid a liar, the book. He knows he can’t favor a brokered convention because its too obvious. Thus we have the next campaign to fool the poor stupid people who think they’re stopping the establishment takeover.
Its not that Teddy is again’st a brokered convention. He just doesn’t think it will work. LOL!
Man in this insane firestorm of hate for Donald. I appreciate this statement by Cruz. I can support Yed if we lose. I will never support the “establishment” puppets because I can’t see what I am voting for.
Fkn A right it would.
I’m not a Cruz supporter and I think he is being smart in taking this stance. He is young enough, there will be other elections. If he drops out and Trump is the clear nomination he should endorse Trump. Coming across as gracious and fair would serve him better than taking a sore-loser-scorch-the-earth mentality. If Cruz does get the nomination Trump should whole-heartedly give him his support.
How can Rubio or Kasich look the public in the eye while planning on stealing the nomination via a brokered convention. Why would they want to get the nod when it would completely pizz off millions of people?! Seriously. It seems like such a dumb idea!
If Trump is the nominee, I have a suspicion the GOP will put up a third party candidate with the full intention of throwing the election to Hillary under the premise that it’s better for the GOP in the long run than a Trump Presidency.
I think Ted is smart enough to know that a brokered convention and stealing the nomination would affect races down ticket including senate house and governor. It would be political suicide for the GOP.
