Because most delegates become unbound after the first ballot and many more (even those designated for Trump) are favorable to Cruz. His people have been working on this since January.
Why can’t people understand this?
I know math is hard.
Trump has to get a certain number of delegates to win on the first ballot.
He is not in a good position to do that now.
On the second ballot, most changed votes will go to Cruz.
He has earned them because he has good people on the ground working on this.
It is ridiculous to say dramatic stuff like it will divide the Republican party forever.
A Cruz win would actually unite the party and have an excellent chance of beating Hillary and the dems.
“His people have been working on this since January.”
Maybe to a small degree. However IMHO ever since he has signed on to the GOPe the process has really been speeded up with the help of the GOPe machine. IMHO it just another way of screwing over the people who voted for Trump.
