Instead, I think it's more effective (and more realistic, perhaps) to approach this from the truth that, unless Cruz is 100% Establishment, then he is being played by the UniParty to lock out Trump at the convention. Cruz may actually think the Establishment would actually let him win!
If Cruz is what his supporters say he is, then there is NO WAY they would let him win the nomination. Let's face it, the UniParty is either in denial about causing a civil war by stealing this election from the people or they just don't care because the stakes are too high.
Some Cruz supporters seem to have a firm of cognitive dissonance that won't let them see that if Cruz is truly a constitutionalist, then he will not be allowed to win the nomination. (Either that, or they don't understand the possibilities of digitally invisible malware that will never be detected.)
What the UniParty may be planning: The RNC would stop Trump by giving Cruz his votes, but not enough to push Cruz over. (Plus the Mississippi treatment, which has already started). Right before the convention, the UniParty would either change the convention rules, or hand-pick a few judges to go after the 'birth' issue as harrassment. Get Cruz's doners to accept Paul Ryan instead, and Cruz has no fund to fight in court.
And all THAT is under the assumption that Cruz is what he says he is.
Just my opinion, although no one is listening. It's too late anyway. The only way to stop it was to have a paper trail in all states.
I pointed to the actual votes being gathered. So far Cruz has not had a real break out. Cruz has an opportunity in MI, FL and OH to show his ability to win outside his choir. Cruz can win the base, jury is still out if he can win anywhere else.
That is the point, which you still have not addressed.
Mitt came off as a biased idiot to me today others may see it differently
Trump on CBS when when Isis goes back to their camp and hears us talking about waterboarding after they just killed 100 people by cutting off their heads they should think we are weak just too good
There’s a reason primaries are an ongoing process that doesn’t end until June.
lol...she’s aging, rod! It happens.
And actually the queers don't even want it, except to be a bunch of destructive biches totally bent on destroying every aspect of traditional Western Culture.
Now the munchers....they want to get "married".
I left the conference on Friday, when I heard Trump would not appear. It was a madhouse...Everyone had to keep walking through metal detectors and searches over and over.
It was nice to meet all the famous talk show radio personalities. Mark Levin, Hannity, Beck and Plante were there. Most people were upset Trump did not appear. There were tons of Cruz people walking around. One lady told me she was there just to see Trump. People spent a lot of money to attend and did’t get a refund.
A 100% Conservative is a big government person...I’m not and never been a religious conservative...I am pro life, I wouldn’t vote against a person who supports gay rights (it doesn’t affect my life nor my finances), I want federal government made smaller and more STATES RIGHTS. I’m a fiscal, small government conservative.
I have a question/speculation that is REALLY bugging me. Someone please talk me back from the edge....
I keep having this nagging thought, that I’ve had for a while...
I think that the reason the Democrat party seems so laid back about Hillary running is because they absolutely have a back up plan. If they go to indict and convict her (which I really don’t think would ever happen), but I totally could see Obama pardoning her as a trade she’ll step out of the race. Then they’ll replace her with a dark horse unknown suave, very Presidential-esque minority, who swings moderate in the public eye, but is way more leftist at heart. They already have that guy...or 2 of them.... the Castro twins from San Antonio. Think about it. Right now, Trump could probably beat Hillary or it would at least be really close. I mean even with his bombastic ways, he looks a lot more statesman like up next to her with her screeching and the felony looming..... so why aren’t the Democrats concerned? I think it’s because they have an ace up their sleeve. Pit Trump next to one of castro twins, and you have problems. They are young, handsome, moderate, presidential-like, and from TEXAS. So even if Trump took NY, Castro would an equal chance of taking Texas at least. PLUS, the whole Dem party would get excited about the first HISPANIC president, not much time to vet him, because they’ll drop him on us at the last minute and he will have avoided the primary process....
Do I need my tin foil hat to justify this paranoia? Please say yes....
or is this a real thing that could happen?
Trump up on CBS Isis is chopping chopping Chopping we are worried about waterboarding. CBS moderator time for a new topic.Cy
I disagree. Votes were in Kansas... and soon in Florida.. Especially after that mental patient Beck went nuts talking about stabbing. And the planned protest to get up and leave when Trump was speaking, why bother? Trump was wise not to attend that circus.
Wow sad to hear about CPAC
I met people who do not like Cruz just because the way he looks. People find things to hate others about all the time. The Republicans do have plenty of enthusiasm this year. Romney is trying to destroy the enthusiasm acting like everyone wants to hear him. Romney will help anti-establishment candidates every time he appears. Why can’t these people just let the voters speak? Do they think they are smarter than the voters?
The South will not be for Cruz???
Yep exactly. Cruz has a very good shot. The big question is how well he can do in states like FL, MI and OH?
Cruz really needs Rubio out. At this point the that is the biggest drag on his vote. Once Rubio gets out this is going to be a whole different race.
Congrats CA GOP, you might finally get to be relevant in GOP Primary this year.
It’s real. Won’t be a Castro though. Not ready for prime time. Maybe someone like former Montana Governor Brian Scweitzer. Proven crossover appeal and could be made the puppet of DNC insiders. A Castro might be his VP.
Great post their excuse was zero is half black we don’t dare go up against him but in reality he’s more NWO then he is black
Well said, Qiviut.
