You are in favor of changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game?

The “reality” is that Cruz will achieve 1237 first, and become the nominee.

I’m sorry that attempting to call the game in the middle of 5th inning didn’t work out for you......

“The “reality” is that Cruz will achieve 1237 first, and become the nominee.”

The only way Cruz gets to 1,237 is by way of party insiders giving it to him at the convention. He can’t get there through the primary, as he doesn’t have the requisite level of support among the people.

If you think that’s the way to elect a president, then you don’t really believe in the fundamental principles of America. The Framers despised the very idea of political parties, precisely because of the very type of thing you’re advocating now. They fought a bloody revolution to put political power into the hands of The People, not a tiny cabal of powerful insiders.

Tell you what. If the Republican party chooses a nominee who hasn’t received the largest number of votes from the people, the party will be no more. That’s about as plain as anyone can say it.
