To ensure Drumpf loses, all that must happen is this:
1). Draft Ted Cruz to run in Texas. Have him just campaign there and explain why he is doing it. Texans are naturally stupid but if you have five months to explain something to them, they might be able to spell “third party candidate” and even vote for one!!!
2). He beat Drumpf by 1/2 million votes there. Marco got 1/2 million votes all so. If he runs around there speaking Spanish to folks and pushing his Flintstone-esque conserve-hate-ice agenda, they’ll go for it.
3). You take 38 EV’s away from Drumpf and he cannot win. Game over.
4). The typical politician would worry about fall out and reciprocity. Cruz is hated by his fellow Senators almost as much as he is loved by Mutt and Jeff down in Texas. There will be no reciprocity. In fact, there will be more than just a few elders in the GOP that are happy he’s doing what he’s doing. The Drumpf circus has no place in our national politics.
