No, ravina, I am not being duped.
The facts are what they are. Trump, whether you like it or not, or whatever anyone else thinks about it, has tapped into the groundswell against establishment politicians.
We need someone like Cruz to balance that equation out and help unite the p[arty so we can make the best of this situation possible and win in November.
And Ted Cruz is the only one who can do that.
That’s why.
At this point, Cruz is not going to get the delegates needed.
Trump very well could.
If we have a bitter, slug-fest at the convention where a Trump with maybe 1150 or more delegates is denied the nomination, the results will almost assuredly throw the election to Hillary which will be far worse. for our nation
So that is why such a deal should be struck.
You may not like it...heck a lot will not like it...but in order to create the best outcome for our republic in this state of affairs, it is what I hope happens.
A sleazeball who is an enemy of your enemy is not someone you should align with unless absolutely necessary.

If Trump has only 1150 delegates at the convention that means that 1322 (i.e. the majority) are against Trump. Since Trump hasn't figured out yet that he has to earn the balance he would need on a second (or later) ballot by being fair to his competitors, then he does not deserve the nomination and is not the negotiator he claims to be.
If Hillary gets elected, perhaps the decent Trump supporters will take the time to learn something about math and nomination politics before the next election.
