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.
At that time, if things could be smoothed over, Trump and Cruz should get together and run as write ins.
And campaign for any candidate other than establishment for congressional seats.
Blow the whole GD thing up in their faces.
