Cruz is so desperate at this point that he will believe anything.

I think the reason why low- information voters such as myself are so angry is because we lack basic toiletries.

Yes, definitely a conservative when he’s not taking liberal positions or giving money to democrats. Other than that he’s 100% conservative. or as Trump says a conservative with common sense.

If they do it, it’s a sure sign they have him, bought and paid-for.

The establishment will go all in for Cruz for sure. If that fails, they will go all in for Hillary to prevent Trump from winning.

so if they broker a deal using Cruz (whether they follow through on promises they make to him or not) - just what do you think tens of millions of Trump supporters are going to do to the GOP when it comes time for reelection to those cush Senate and House seats?

It's going to be pretty hard for the establishment to maneuver it so that neither Cruz or Trump gets half the delegates. Kasich and Rubio have almost none. For the establishment scheme to work, Cruz and Trump would both have just shy of 1237 delegates, a hundred or so each. Then they would have to be willing to open the convention and deny both of them the nomination.

More likely, they will make a deal with the devil. They will let Kasich and Rubio give their delegates to Cruz. (Kasich and Rubio have to stay in until the convention for this to work, otherwise their delegates are released). Cruz will have to agree to an establishment supervisor as his VP, and he will have to agree to certain conditions about what he will do as President (amnesty for starters).

I think that the addition of Neil Bush indicates that such a plan is in the works, and that Cruz is willing to go along with it. Cruz could be allying with Trump instead, and be guaranteed of VP. Instead, he is throwing in with the establishment. It is now Trump, and only Trump, against the GOPe and for the American people.

He wasn’t endorsing anyone just analyzing

You're correct but it doesn't matter to the Trumpers.

Any slight reference by anyone against their candidate must immediately be met with derision and self-righteous outrage.

Sad to watch.

Ummm... Hardly.

Um, yes he is...

Cruz graduated from Princeton University in 1992, and from Harvard Law School in 1995. Between 1999 and 2003, Cruz was the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, and domestic policy advisor to President George W. Bush on the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign. He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. He was the first Hispanic, and the longest-serving solicitor general, in Texas history. From 2004 to 2009, Cruz was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz

I lost all respect for Rush after the day he declared old Rubes a conservative, in the same vein as Reagan. Spit

He can take his operation screw ball idiocy and keep filling heads full of mush, he revealed himself for the lame establishment player that he is - sickening, really truly sickening. Hope it backfires on him, and he gets to go hang out with Chuckie and company and talk about making illegals palatable to us uneducated masses.
