Great insight. McConnell should have been using manipulative Ted all along. Who knew he was good at intrigue?

If Cruz secures a victory, it will be totally ILlegitimate.

It will be viewed as having "won" not based upon merit, but fraud. It will confirm what many believe, that their vote doesn't count in the face of the Establishment's wishes. The process will be viewed as dishonest. While Cruz didn't create the system, his "victory" will be tarred and he will be viewed as dishonorable. Deservedly so.

Cruz cannot win against Hillary. Because no one likes him. He’s not gonna get crossover voters.

That makes him Hillary without the lipstick.

He has the lipstick...it comes from the bed-partners, those tramps etc as enumerated in the National Enquirer.

Cruz is not planning on running against Hillary. He wants it be the Constitution defender vs. Hillary. How could you vote against the Constitution? /sarc

I really hate to see the delegate process (which favored Trump mightily is Missouri and a couple of other states) misrepresented so deeply.

It reminds me of the sudden rush to “But he won the popular vote!” in 2000, when that was never the standard for winning the presidency. If we’re going to argue style, substance, positions, and electability, let’s at least do it with some intellectual honesty.
