Ted Cruz overplayed his hand with the GOP — and now he’s done
NY Post Jeffrey Blehar
The Republican primary is effectively over.
After Donald Trump’s victory
over Ted Cruz Tuesday night, absent a particularly well-timed act of
spontaneous human combustion, the unthinkable has happened: Trump will
be the GOP nominee facing off against Hillary Clinton in November 2016.
Whether you consider this a welcome development or are as horrified
about it as I am, the question to ask is: Why did the Republican
so-called “Establishment” fail to rally behind Ted Cruz, the last man
standing between Trump and the nomination?
Trump represents a 180-degree turn from where party leaders were
pledging to take the party after President Obama’s re-election victory
over Mitt Romney in 2012, especially with regard to immigration and
outreach to women and minorities. So why the curious lack of resistance?
Quite simply, it all comes down to Cruz.
