Sigh..
This race has been over since Super Tuesday, everything since then has been political theater.
WI was a manufactured win by the GOPe in the state in what they hoped to swing the momentum in the race... it didn’t, and in the long run it hurt Cruz because to get that win he went all in with the establishment... which in a year when the electorate is clearly sick of the establishment cost him support going forward. Trump’s momentum continued to steamroll after WI and in fact grew even greater as Cruz became perceived as just another establishment politician, particularly by those who had shown support for him prior. Its no coincidence that Cruz’s national numbers began to drop after WI.
The reality is, even if Cruz were to win Indiana, win ever single delegate there, he still can’t stop Trump from getting 1237. This thing is over, Cruz is just doing himself long term damage at this point. I understand its hard to admit things are lost and you need to put the best spin you can on situations to keep folks motivated, but there just is no path for Cruz, and hasn’t been since Super Tuesday.
This idea that if Cruz can just pull out Indiana he can get a contested convention and then somehow beat Trump is insane... it always ways. Its lawyer thing... Well I’m obviously going to lose the first trial, so I’ll lay the groundwork for an appeal... STUPID and wrong thinking from the get go.
You win or you go home, if your primary plan is to concede initial defeat, in the real world, outside the world of lawyers and legal processes, this is the way you fail. Cruz thinks like a lawyer, not a winner.
Great comment!
