How does Trump not get to 1,237 if Cruz steps aside?
For that matter, how does Trump not get to 1,237 if Cruz doesn't step aside?
Either way, what's your logic?
It's just a matter of unifying the party sooner, rather than later, at this point.
Sooner is much better than later.
Ted Cruz is a caricature. If the situation with Donald Trump was reversed, the outcry for Trump to step aside would be widespread and deafening.
Ted Cruz already criticized Kasich for not dropping out once he didn't have a path to 1,237. Well, Cruz doesn't have a path either, now, so now he just keeps moving the goalposts. He'll continue to do that, but it will never make any difference.
Where I come from, that's called rank hypocrisy.
Ted Cruz is acting the GOPe spoiler, plain and simple, and he won't even accomplish that.
Cruz is blowing his future Presidential aspirations at this point. His current aspirations are already a dumpster fire.
It's been awkward to even watch him for awhile now, and it's just getting worse...
Vote Trump
The party will not unify behind either Trump or Cruz. Exhibit A is freerepublic. If the candidates cannot unify, the party won't either. The benefactor of strife on the GOP side is Hillary. Trump and Cruz are not a threat to the First, Second, or Tenth Amendments. Hillary is.
Furthermore, unless Trump and Cruz somehow unify either before or at the convention, the GOPe will install one of their show ponies like Jeb, Romney, or Kasich. 1237 is not guaranteed for any GOP candidate.
Never Hillary!
