Very well said. And the Cruz fanboys who are cheering for a contested convention love to just talk right past this obvious elephant in the room.
Any thinking person who follows Cruz's strategy to its logical conclusion at the convention, cannot argue that he has the best interests of either the party or the country at heart. Unless he sees himself as some kind of Messianic figure, which he most assuredly is not. All one has to do to realize that is to review his amoral, unprincipled, Machiavellian behavior during the course of this primary season.
Cruz's behavior is precisely the thing that has driven the vast majority of the membership of this forum into the Trump camp. That, and Trump clear leadership.
And, as I stated, Cruz supporters apparently if their man wins the nomination, are content with the perfectly logical and totally inevitable consequences:
Is that absolutely insane or what?
For God's sake, and the party's and the nation's, vote Trump!
I began supporting Ted Cruz the day that he announced his candidacy. However, I have come to accept the fact that he will not be the nominee and I have come to accept the fact that Trump will be the nominee. And, I am prepared to support Trump to the hilt.
However, I am going to suggest that Trump and all of us who now support him should do all that we can to avoid antagonizing voters who are having a lot of difficulty accepting the reality that their candidate (Cruz) is not going to be on November's ballot. Trump is going to need all the support that he can get to defeat Hillary. Those who have supported Cruz (or any other losing candidate) should be treated with respect. We're going to need all of them in November.
It is not Cruz who will be hurt by a failure to make peace in the party.
