SPECIAL POST
Tuesday's New York elections settled one thing: Ted Cruz can no longer win the Republican nomination on the first ballot. Of course, John Kasich was eliminated almost from the beginning. Now then, they've both just emphatically reiterated that they're not getting out of the race.
That raises two questions: (1) Why are they not getting out, and (2) where are they getting the money to finance their continued campaigns? The answers to these questions are very much tied together.
Keep in mind that the Republican establishment is doing anything and everything to keep Trump out. Also keep in mind that the most viable way to reach that goal is to keep Trump from going into Cleveland with 1,237 or more delegates. It's obvious that the establishment has keep both Cruz and Kasich in play, hoping that between them they can garner enough delegates from the remaining states to keep Trump from getting his number.
So, now we know the why; let's talk about the money. Campaigns eat up an enormous amount of money... hotel stays, travel expenses, ads, staff, lawyers. From a practical standpoint, who on earth is going to contribute to a candidate who can't win?
The only logical conclusion here is that the Republican establishment... the RNC and Republican-controlled PACs... are funding Cruz and Kasich. And in the same breath, they're asking Trump supporters and even Trump himself to donate to the RNC.
Anybody ready for some lemon pie?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
