Ted Cruz is not qualified per the natural born clause. That he is even running is a problem, let alone a brokered convention.
If they attempt to pull this off against either Trump or Cruz, the Republican Party will die that night. Hillary will win and any that played a part in it will all be replaced in the next Congressional elections.
Cantor was just the tip of the spear.
Bank on it!
Besides that Eddie Munster (Lyin Ryan) might not even make it out of his Republican Primary. :)
Rover would prefer Dole, Mc Lame, or Romney. Three loosers from the past. And the democraps would prefer Marx or Engels. You could even throw in Stalin for them.
How about you, Karl? That will have the voters lining up.
On what planet would Cruz get the nomination? Over 75% of GOP primary voters have voted against him. He has no mathematical possibility of reaching 1237. He probably wont get even 800. Are you all just realizing that Cruz is merely a tool in the shed to deny Trump?
HOW ABOUT let’s go with the face WE THE PEOPLE SELECT as their nominee?
I know, I know that is so out dated...
TRUMP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or face the revolt!
Anyone but Cruz or Trump and they are going to have BIG problems with the base.. They will be Yuge!
Explain my tagline then.
By the way, I see your earlier thread on “Pathetic Trumpkins” got yanked by the mods, congratulations - looks good on you.
He’s presumably talking about Paul Ryan.
Apparently these guys think they can do anything.
Based upon Rove’s latest remarks it would seem quite plausible that many in the establishment may have suddenly chosen to support Cruz for the primary purpose of creating a foil to Trump. In this manner, neither candidate would ultimately gain the required delegates which would provide political cover to deploy a brokered convention.
This brokered convention manufactured by the GOPe would certainly deny Trump a path to nomination. It would likely deny Cruz the nomination in the spirit of “fairness”.
Wanting to appear as peacemakers with an illusion of even-handedness they will bring forth a salve in Paul Ryan and attempt to install him, possibly with Kasich somehow, with the nomination. From a purely political position now you have both Wisconsin and Ohio in play in November, but either way, if they lose to Hillary they still win.
So, yeah, as a Cruz supporter it would appear that Mr. Rove is telegraphing events being planned for the convention.
When black people riot, neighborhoods burn. When white people riot, continents burn.
Karl Rove for President.
Make America Even Stupider.
The problem with a ‘fresh face’ is that the GOPestablishment think that means: Romney, Ryan, Perry, Rubio, Jeb Bush, etc.
At least they have similar qualifications: they ran and they lost.
Rovio the Great is laying the ground work for Paul Ryan
By the way he hates Trump too
I hope that those backing Cruz understand - in their bones - that the Establishment people like Rove absolutely detest and despise Cruz. The entire primary process has been designed to stop the grassroots (i.e. We the People) from nominating someone that they (our lords and masters, in their view) cannot control.
This means people like Reagan (he slipped through, they didn’t count on his communications skills and how he resonated with the average person), Fred Thompson (they stopped him) and Ted Cruz. Oh, and Donald Trump - they REALLY didn’t count on someone like him showing up.
So, I would urge the Cruz supporters (and most especially Senator Cruz, himself) to consider that even if Cruz rolls into Cleveland with 1,237 delegates (and the math of this race says that such is extremely unlikely, no matter how much one likes him or his views), the Rovians will try their damndest to stab him in the back. My expectation is that Trump will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,150 delegates and Cruz something like 750 - 800. Neither will win on the first ballot, nor will they likely on the 2nd. At that point, if the 2 of them do not cooperate, the Rovians will insert a candidate and they will BOTH lose.
Time to make a deal boys - NOW, BEFORE THE CONVENTION. Present the Rovians with a fait accompli, don’t even let their heads get above the water line.
All politics are local
So you and the UniParty cost local Republicans votes, as if you care.
The irony is that most Republican voters think that of him as well.
According to current rules, the candidate must have won eight primary states in order to be nominated. So unless the rules are changed (wink, wink), only Cruz and Trump have a shot at the nomination.
Ted Cruz and his bride are PROVEN One Worlders. That has been Heidi’s main task the last several years; while retaining her gig on the Board at Goldman Sachs. Look up NAU. North American Union.
