Senator Cruz,
April 20, 2016
I wanted to write this letter to you in the hopes that you will get it and be able to read it.
I have been, and am, a supporter and admirer of yours.
You have been a staunch supporter of the constitution, conservative values, and stood (many times alone) against a GOP Establishment that has not kept faith with the conservative base of the party who electe them.
I have supported you from afar as you won offices in TExas, including your stinning victory for the US SEnate. I have supported you through these Presidential primaries and worked in my own area to help yo win Idaho. I have sent money into your campaign.
Now we have reached a stage where things are coming into focus.
I know, as an individual with the will and the stamina and dedication to run for President that you are absolutely convinced of your need to win this race.
However, reality is now showing that mathematically that victory is out of reach through the primaries.
I know you can, and that you seem willing to try and do all in your power to take the fight to the convention and somehow stop Donald Trump from getting the delegates he needs so you can fight him on the convention floor and win the nomination.
As a devout Christian, as an American who loves this nation and the Constitution, I urge you not to do so.
I believe the single worst thing that we could do, that would almost assuredly lead to a Hillary Clinton victory, is to have an ugly convention fight that ends up taking the nomination away from a man who will have earned the lfar largest share of the vote, and who will have also probably come within a hair's breatdth of winning the necessary delegates. Quite frankly, after his New York victory and depending on what happens on April 26th, I believe it very possible, perhaps even likely, that he will get to the delegates necessary before the convention in any case.
I know the GOPe and many who have had the most vile things to say about you are now hoping to use you to stop Donald Trump. Their support fo you is feigned and they will throw you to the curb the instant they can in order to retain their own power...and, in my pwn estimation, they do not care if it means Hillary Clinton being elected to do so.
I have studied your positions and your speeches and I agree with them and support them whole heartidly. But I have also studied the positions that Trump has now put out and the detail. They are very similar to your own senator. I guess the big question is whetrher we believe Donald Trump will actually follow through and implement them.
If he has the right people around him, helping him, showing him how...I believe he will.
Senator Cruz, a raucus, ugly fight at the convention will almost ensure that one or the other large segmnent of the people who voted in the GOP primaries will be very angry and we will lose many of thiir votes in the general, or worse, they will try a 3rd party run.
Either of those scenarios hands the election to Hillary Clinton or the DNC.
As a nation we absolutely CANNOT afford a 3rd Obama term or worse. The impact to the Supreme Court, to foreigh policy, to our financnes, to a continued erosion of moral values, and almost every other ccritical national interest would all be catastophic.
I plead with you sentor, be the voice of reason. Be the uniter.
You are in a unique position (and God has placed you there) to be able to do this at this time. I know it is not the way you or I envisioned you being able to do it. But it is the truth nonetheless.
Should Trump do well on April 26th and then in Indiana, I urge you to meet with Mr. Trump and be willing to set aside pride, war hatchets, and whatever is necessary to come to an accomodation between the two of you that unites the party behind what will be his candidancy.
I know this is a hard thing to consider...but in the interest of this nation I ask that you prayerfully consider this and stnad up and unite the party so we can win in November.
And then work with Mr. Trump to implement all of those good things that both of your candidacies represent, and then trust in God to turn the tide. I know He will...I know that if the policies set forth are impleneted, he will help us turn this nation around, and there is the very strong possibility that we will have 16 years of strong American leadership to do so.
Sincerely, and as a fellow American and brother in Christ,
Jeff Head

Bravo; well done.
I’m not sure if Trump is 1976’s Reagan, or 1964’s Goldwater. I am sure Cruz is neither.
Reagan came to national prominence supporting Goldwater’s 1964 anti-GOP-establishment candidacy. Remember, Reagan’s famous “A Time for Choosing” speech was actually a paid televised commercial for Goldwater’s campaign.
Cruz blew his chance to be to Trump what Reagan was to Goldwater—the future torchbearer of the anti-establishment movement. Instead, Cruz has burned his anti-establishment membership card in a all out effort to have it all NOW.
Very shortsighted on Cruz’s part.

It seems YOU are the stalker following ME from thread to thread with arguments from 3 weeks ago.
I feel flattered that you pay so much attention to me. Now. Go ping your FReepathon Queens and come insult me as usual.

Thanks for replying Jeff. Appreciate it.
America: flat on her back with her feet in the air.
The Don would like you Uncle Milt.
Calm down sweetheart, you don’t have to hammer that “Enter” key so many times, we heard your estrogenic yammering the first time.
If it comes to a contested convention that is the way the process works.
I remember that was the most exciting process I had ever seen.
Dear Jeff,
I am not going to engage in personal attacks. You might as well put a Hillary sticker on your car. I am the only one who can beat Hillary!
Sincerely,
Ted Cruz
Dear Jeff
I am going to win the Republican nomination on the second ballot. Thank you for your interest in the race. I look forward to your continued support.

There will be icicle draped pigs flying out the bowels of hell before I ever flip the lever for Trump.
IF Cruz did this we could have Trump for 8 years - followed by Cruz for eight years... Besides, Trump's would be a million times better at knocking out Establishment gatekeepers... making it much easier when it's Cruz's time.
Did you stamp your widdle feetsies as you wrote that? LOL
When your house if burning, your first worry isn’t fixing the plumbing-it should be putting out the fire.
Trump’s focus is on immigration, trade, and terrorism. That’s where it should stay.
Yea, I’d love to tackle entitlement reform, the tax system, and a dozen other things now, but they aren’t the top priority TODAY. Immigration, trade, and terrorism are burning out national house down as we speak. Once we put out the fire, we can turn to fixing the plumbing.
3 in a row, do you have the delirium tremens?
