    Megyn Kelly to Cruz: How Could You Possibly Unite The Party Coming Out Of A Contested

    Megyn Kelly to Cruz: How Could You Possibly Unite
    The Party Coming Out Of A Contested Convention?


    By Ian Schwartz
    Posted on April 28, 2016



    Megyn Kelly grills Sen. Ted Cruz on how he could unite the party if two-thirds of Republicans believe the candidate with the most delegates and most votes should be the nominee for president. "If you called someone up and say, should the person with the most votes win? Anyone goes, duh, yeah," Cruz said, disagreeing with the logic behind the question.

    "I agree 60% to 70% will say yes to that as well. That's a poll question that's rigged. The Trumpsters pushes it out there because it suggests -- if you ask anyone, should the person with the most votes win? Of course. But his argument is he should be the nominee even though he can't win a majority," Cruz said.

    Cruz repeated several times that Trump was not going to get 1,237 delegates before the convention in July.

    "He's not going to. He is not going to. He's not going to get to 1,237," Cruz insisted.

    MEGYN KELLY: I'm trying to ask you about something that is concerning to your supporters, your supporters, who understand how important Indiana is to your campaign. But the polls are showing that people, some 65% of Republicans, even people who support Ted Cruz, believe the person who enters the convention with the most delegates and the most votes should likely emerge as the nominee, even if it takes -- even if he doesn't have a majority. Right now as I mentioned he has 400 more delegates than you do, he's got 3.2 million more popular votes. He won 27 states, you won 11. So given that, how could you possibly unite this party coming out of a contested convention?

    SEN. TED CRUZ: Let me answer it a couple of ways. Number one, nobody is going to get to 1,237. Donald is not getting there. I'm not getting there. Donald can't get there. It's why he's so desperately trying to convince everyone the race is over because he knows --

    KELLY: He can get there if he wins in Indiana and does well in California.

    CRUZ: But he's not going to. He is not going to. He's not going to get to 1,237. Even when folks try to do all sorts of math he falls short. We're going to a contested convention. Listen, the poll you cited, of course people say yes. If you called someone up and say, should the person with the most votes win? Anyone goes, duh, yeah. How about asking the question that is really the relevant question: should you have to earn a majority to be the nominee?

    I agree 60% to 70% will say yes to that as well. That's a poll question that's rigged. The Trumpsters pushes it out there because it suggests -- if you ask anyone, should the person with the most votes win? Of course. But his argument is he should be the nominee even though he can't win a majority.

    Trump's position is he's going to win the nomination with a majority of delegates before the Convention.
