TED CRUZ ON A BROKERED CONVENTION: “Any time you hear someone talking about a brokered convention it is the Washington establishment in a fevered frenzy. They’re really frustrated because all of their chosen candidates, all of their golden children, the voters keep rejecting. And so they seized on this master plan. We go to a brokered convention and the DC power brokers will drop someone in who is exactly to the liking of the Washington establishment. If that happens we will have a manifest revolt on our hands…. If you want to beat Donald Trump here’s how you do it: You beat Donald Trump with the voters.”

Plus, from the comments: “To say Romney overplayed his hand is assuming he had one to begin with.”
