I’m a Cruz guy, but the glimmer of hope is getting weaker. Here’s how I see it:
1) Cruz Must Win Texas. Without it, he’s done.
2) Rubio Must Lose Florida, and drop out.
3) Trump has to continue to alienate huge sections of the electorate so that his margins are capped.
4) Cruz has to up his game and win some more states, as he takes all non-Trump votes.
5) Cruz goes into the convention with a medium sized minority of delegates. Trump goes in with a plurality of delegates.
6) All non-Trump delegates pledge support to Cruz.
That’s extremely unlikely, and as good a picture as I can come up with for my guy.
The fat lady is loudly warming up in the wings. If Cruz can’t take Texas, she’ll be bellowing from mid-stage on Wednesday that Trump is The Man.
I honestly wish people would stop saying ‘condition unmet’ “cruz is done”
I get the point and the condition is usually important— like winning Texas.
But here is the awkward reality.
Everyone giving up and letting Trump have the nomination would be a disaster:
1. He may well be unable to beat Hillary. He seems the least likely presently able to do so.
2. Trump may not be conservative at all. That is me being nice on this question as noted in my tagline.
3. Its absurd to pretend that the Enemedia is going to continue cake walking Trump to the Presidency. The war is coming once the elite sense they have boxed the Republicans into the Trump corner. For now, they pretend that this is fathomable.
For all these reasons, there must be a standing alternative to Trump at the convention regardless of delegate count or polling position.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think Cruz can beat Trump on delegates, but there is NO circumstance where I say “its over for Cruz” He is the best alternative to Trump— period.
That alternative must be available in Cleveland. It is imperative for any seriously conservative individual.
