A Cruz delegate conference call...

The winning ticket is Walker/Cruz. Walker is a good compromise, and Cruz has to be on the ticket.

Never mind the voters.  The voters are a mere inconvenience; ignorant rubes.

#Nevertrump political elites know what is best. Ignore the year of the outsider.

They're the same voters that gave us the most hated candidates the past two election cycles—John McCain and Mitt Romney.

So yeah, I'd say the voters are ignorant. After all, they come from a populace that as a whole also re-elected Obama.

Trump received 13.3 million votes.
15.2 Million plus voted for someone else.

This is listening to a majority of the voters, not just who played the delegate game.

And Trump is no outsider. Maybe outside the Republican party, but he has been DNC Establishment donor class for most of his career.

Not to mention up to 12 million democrats voted in the Republican primary--

I really doubt they voted for Cruz or Rubio.

Trump supporters were never more than a plurality of the primary electorate.   And a lot has happened since Indiana to justify seeking an alternative.  It's now obvious that Trump is a crippled candidate who cannot win the general, even against an opponent as flawed as Clinton.   The delegates have no moral or legal obligation to commit political suicide; to the contrary,  I'd argue it's their duty, under the present facts, to take action to make sure the GOP nominates a credible and electable candidate.

Debunked by the fact of the Closed Primary races where Trump won by large margins over the GOPe people. Cruz and Rubio were rejected by the voters and it would be worse in the General. and you guys know this.
