It may be that the majority of freepers feel that Ted’s continuing to press for the use of a brokered convention to try and win a nomination that he could not win by a clear majority in the states, and to do so by subverting the will of the majority of the people who selected and voted for the presumptive nominee, not to mention the much greater number of delegates who also have selected Trump... is divisive, non democratic and outright theft by manipulation.
Screaming its “fair and within the rules” does not make it moral, effective or right.
And that being the case, if that is the position that the site owner also takes... some folks may want to leave.
Ted is only staying in at this point, only to deny Donald Trump, the clear leader and the presumptive nominee... the position that Ted covets but will never have. Ted could help, but instead his actions serve to hurt the likelihood of our national survival.
His intent by action is to win or destroy his fellow republicans. And by domino affect, the nation.
Ted needs his supporters tell him to drop out graciously and get the REAL job done, which will never be accomplished by following the extremist supporters with their visions of grandeur, like Beck and Romney.
I think we will be at the place next week after New York where it will be blatantly apparent, who is for and who is against the best interests of the USA.
The #NeverTrump crowd will have clearly defined itself openly hostile to the Survival of this Nation.
“openly hostile to the survival of the nation” is an accusation that should be used very judiciously, especially when being applied to those whose support Mr. Trump will need in the general election if he is the nominee.
The fact is that in many states so far, Trump won with a plurality, not a majority.
This campaign and even this forum have been so fraught with nastiness and, I’m sorry to say, that despite the epithets and accusations hurled against Cruz on this issue, Trump’s behavior has been marked by rudeness and nasty behavior long before he ever became a candidate for POTUS and his influence is far-reaching. He is conservative credentials are as questionable as Cruz’s being a traitor.
The questions I keep asking myself are whether Trump loves America as much as he loves himself? And even though the GOPe is no friend to the grassroots and will wield its considerable power to subvert the will of the people, is it truly impossible to thwart their machinations?
I wonder if George Washington felt this frustrated and hopeless before he decided to cross the Deleware and changed the course of history.
