God in Heaven help us unite and win this election.
It's so obvious - Cruz isn't in this to win, because they all know he won't at this point. Cruz is part of the problem, needs to shut up and drop out at this point.
The only uniting there is to do at this point in the game is to unite behind Trump and make it happen. Otherwise, things are gonna get real ugly.
Right on with your analysis, Jeff.
The logic that the establishment likes to push is that more people have not voted for Trump than have voted for him.
They fail to point out that this is true for each of the other candidates, but it’s even worse.
And their idea of an outsider means that person would have gotten 0% of the vote.
So, their original logic is flawed.
Trump, on the other hand, says that dividing the vote among multiple candidates early on split the vote in serious ways.
Let’s also point out that the party itself has been in full attack mode against their frontrunner for months. Personally, I don’t ever recall that happening before. Some say it happened during Reagan/Ford, but I was a voter at that time, and I simply do not remember the republican party HQ attacking Reagan with the vitriol that they now attack Trump.
So, that Trump is even standing says he should be the nominee, and especially since he’ll be the leading delegate hold, and perhaps will even have the requisite 1237 delegates for a majority on the first ballot.
