If Cruz Were In A Distant Third...

If Ted Cruz were trailing in distant third or fourth place at this point, especially if he were facing a probable loss in his home state next week, you know what I would do?

• I would do everything possible to get him to drop out of the race and push his voters to the guy in second place, whether that be Rubio or Kasich, whichever one I thought had the best chance to beat Trump.
• I would not vote for Cruz in my upcoming primary, but rather vote for the second place guy...Rubio or Kasich, whichever one I thought had the best chance to beat Trump.  I would urge my friends to do the same. 
• I would blog, right here, pleading for Cruz to drop out and for all of his voters to switch to Rubio or Kasich, whichever one I thought had the best chance to beat Trump.
• I would write to Ted Cruz (not that he would listen to me...but I would be one more voice at least) and plead with him to drop out now!

But that is not the case. Rubio and Kasich are running distant third and fourth place in delegate count and polling for the rest of the primary. If you support either of them, I respectfully ask you to do what I would do if "my" preferred candidate were in the position yours is.

No secret here...I have been blogging in support of Cruz and as it has developed I gratefully believe he has a real chance to win the nomination. In November, he will mop up on Hillary.

But first we must get Cruz nominated! Trump is the greatest threat we now face.

If you are a Rubio or Kasich supporter, I beg you: it's now or never! It is time to consolidate the more conservative vote around one candidate. Rubio and Kasich gave it a good shot. They improved the debates. They helped get the worst Establishment RINOs out of the race. If one of them had the momentum, I would be voting for him Tuesday.

The time has arrived! The differences between Cruz, Rubio and Kasich are minor in the big picture. The big issue is: Trump is the worst thing that can happen to the Republican party this year.

Notice how Trump is bragging about people "coming over" to vote for him. No duh, Sherlock! Lots of Democrats loathe the choices they have been given...so they are crossing over to give themselves another liberal option for November! If he wins the nomination, that just means the Democrats get another primary in November, to choose between Donald Trump (D-masquerading as R) or the liberal that the Democrats finally end up officially nominating.

If Trump gets the GOP nomination, we simply won't have a "Republican" on the ballot in the fall.  This is not akin to McCain or Romney. This is so much worse.

Watch this video...we don't need a "deal-maker" in the White House.
 
At this point in the race, a vote for Kasich or Rubio is really a vote for Trump. Please don't!
