Cruz eyes double-agent delegates in bid to snatch GOP nomination from Trump
The Washington Times ^ | 4/13/2016 | S.A. Miller

Sen. Ted Cruz’s hopes for winning the Republican presidential nomination outright have faded, and he has shifted to a strategy of gaming the rules, angling to send enough double-agent delegates to the July convention to snatch victory from front-runner Donald Trump.

It’s a major reversal for Mr. Cruz, who just weeks ago insisted he would win the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the convention. But major wins in Utah, Wisconsin and Colorado have not closed the gap, with a series of East Coast primaries looming.

Now the best option for the senator from Texas is trench warfare at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Don’t ad hominen attach that is the MO of the left Abusive ad hominem usually involves attacking the traits of an opponent as a means to invalidate their argument(s). Equating someone’s character with the soundness of their argument is a logical fallacy.

Ad hominem abuse is not to be confused with slander or libel, which employ falsehoods and are not necessarily leveled to undermine otherwise sound stands with character attacks.

it’s just more trumpesque deception and misdirection. it’s also why he keeps blowing up the news cycle with outrageous statements that have nothing to do with the issues of the day — he’d rather talk tabloid headlines, because when he does talk abut the issues, he sounds retarded

It is my sincere hope that DT gets 1237 with real delegates. I still think even if he comes up short, he just needs to put Marco Rubio on the VP slot and receive his almost 150 delegates to put hominem over the top! The Art of the Deal !

I don’t think Rubio will help the ticket, but Trump will figure something out.

Judas sold out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Cruz sold out the American voter for 34 delegates.

1. Why are you posting to me?

2. Your ID says you signed up April 9, 2016. In other words, you've been here 4 days.

3. If you continue with the crap you'll be zotted.

The strategy Cruz has switched to is called 11th hour desperation. Its a losers gambit.
