So let me understand this: Trump, who has support PURELY because he has won 7.5 million votes and 750 delegates, is finished if it goes to round two, but Cruz, who has 1/3 those votes and 150 or more (don’t keep up with his total cause he on’t win), isn’t?
And this is because why? Cruz’s people are smarter? Or because all the GOPe-—who have managed to control the party for 20 years, LIKE Ted?
I’m not following the logic. It’s cut and dried—it will be Trump of a GOPe stooge. Cruz has no chance. That’s what’s sad: he had a chance to be a real player with Trump. So maybe he’s not as smart as everyone thinks.
GOPe hates Cruz
GOPe hates Trump much more
GOPe controls enough delegates to deny Trump the nomination
GOPe does not control enough delegates to give Kasich the nomination
I’m pretty sure of the first 3 items. Point 4 is understandably being hotly debated here. Many, presumably yourself, believe the GOPe is all poweful and have total control of the delegate voting. I don’t agree.
Trump and Cruz both disagree with you. They are working to secure delegates who are not going let them vote for a GOPe stooge. When I see Trump and Cruz give up that effort then I will agree with you. Right now they are both hard after securing loyal delegates. You apparently believe that is a hopeless cause. I don't. Trump doesn't. Neither does Cruz.
