Rather than fighting each other all the way to the convention, Cruz and Trump should switch tracks and face the Establishment off as an unbeatable presidential ticket
The gloating over Senator Ted Cruz’s Wisconsin win does nothing much more than throw up a wall of false hope, convincing supporters that a Cruz presidency is already in the bag. Wisconsin notwithstanding, Cruz is still a long way from the presidency and so is business mogul Donald Trump.
It’s not over until the fat lady sings and unfortunately in this case the fat lady is covertly warbling “Open Convention”.
On the day after Wisconsin surrogates within both the Cruz and Trump camps are already hurling insults at each other on the comment sections of news sites, including this one.
The words “stupid”, “moron”, “disgusting” are hurled more often at the fans of the candidates than they are at the Republican presidential hopefuls themselves.
Democrat nominee hopefuls Hillary Clinton and ‘opponent’ Bernie Sanders, who incredibly got through the Iowa caucus on a coin toss, find the ongoing in-fighting in the Republican camps morale boosting, and continue to shadow box their way along to the DNC convention.
All is going according to plan in the Democrat primaries with Hillary Clinton today questioning whether her straw man Sanders is even a Democrat. In ideology Clinton and Sanders are the same tailor dummies, but Clinton is laying out the case that only a tried and true Democrat like herself can be nominated by the Democrats.
The incredible arrogance of the Republican Establishment has gone a long way to throw the last two elections. Sending weaklings like John McCain and Mitt Romney into the Democrat pitbull pen was a joke. Anything the same Establishment throws at Hillary from an open convention this time out will be thrown right back at them.
All the Republican weaknesses of the Karl Rove/Reince Priebus strategy are plain as daylight to see.
The Democrats know more than most that the Republicans who haven’t pushed back even once against Obama for the past seven and a half years, prefer to vent their spleen instead on the two front-runners in the 2016 presidential race.
The naïveté of Cruz who has has been saying all along: ‘You get this to a two-man race and it’s over,” is incredible.
If that is Cruz strategy it’s a losing strategy that is built on false hope.
We should all know by now that the number 1237 will not have either Cruz or Trump shouting ”Bingo!”
Nor are Fox News wags Charles Krauthammer, Megyn Kelly and the like, whose take away on the Cruz landslide win in Wisconsin was that Trump held onto his baseline, necessarily Trump fans.
They want to hold fast to their own baseline of popularity and ratings.

According to talk show radio giant Rush Limbaugh, the Donald Trump campaign has gone off the rails. “They haven’t won four (primaries) in a row now,” he said of the campaign on today’s radio show.
The campaigns of both Cruz and Trump were long ago forced off the rails, courtesy of the controlling Republican Establishment.
For no matter what We the People want, The Republican Establishment is gung-ho to drag the two-man race of Cruz-Trump all the way to a bruised and bloody open convention, the outcome of which will leave America marooned.
Rather than fighting each other all the way to the convention, Cruz and Trump should switch tracks and face the Establishment off as an unbeatable Cruz/Trump-Trump/Cruz presidential ticket.
