I think most would agree with that. The issue is what if Trump is 100 votes shy and Cruz is 200 votes shy. Then what happens?
Then Trump and Cruz need to be the key players trying to get the delegates to vote for them. Like Trump can promise Kasich a VP slot and get his slate of delegates. And Cruz can team up with the Rube...you know that kind of stuff I’m fine with.
But if it goes to a backroom where some unknown people come out and say...”Here’s your nominee” then that’s when the Shat hits the fin.
Agree. I doubt even the GOP would try a brokered convention. Pretty sure those days are really over. But it may well turn out that it becomes an open convention. If that’s the case, it would be “prudent” to have a Trump-Cruz ticket.
Exactly. Much has been discussed about “Rule 40” but less understood is that the rules can be rewritten just before the voting begins. If it ever becomes clear that a 3rd candidate is pulled out from nowhere I would hope that a unity ticket of Trump/Cruz will emerge.
