THAT was the plan. Exactly.
Cruz was the first to know he couldn’t be elected by the people. His only path was to get delegates. He threw in with the GoPE to stop TRUMP. What was the pay off to agree to be the mule for the Cartel?
Cruz surely knew, also, that if the he and the GOPE globalists could stop the obvious Frontrunner TRUMP, the GOPE would easily drop Cruz on his head too.
However, I think the Gope sounds like they are backing way down, at least while TRUMP sweeps up the Northeast. The globalists are in bad with the people. Cruz helping them stop TRUMP is enraging people in both parties.
GOPe can’t beat Cruz at the convention if Cruz and Trump write the rules with the majority of their delegates.
