Based on current delegate counts and poll numbers Ted Cruz will be mathematically unable to reach the delegate count required for him to win the Republican Presidential nomination.
By the end April it will be clear that Ted Cruz has no chance of reaching the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.
Actually in only 3 weeks, on April 26th, it will be clear that Ted Cruz cannot win.
(chart from Google)
Currently Cruz has only 463 delegates. Even if Cruz wins Wisconsin, which is a state whose delegates are winner take most (WTM), he still will not have enough delegates to win the election by April 26th.
This is in part because New York is leaning heavily towards Trump who leads according to polls listed at Real Clear Politics by as much as 36%. New York has a Republican primary where the delegates are split proportionally. So even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates, it won’t be enough. This is because come April 26th, there are five Republican Presidential primaries and three of these are winner take all (WTA). All three of these states are in the East where polls show Trump leading (Maryland and Pennsylvania) or there is no polling available with the state highly likely leaning towards Trump (Delaware). Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.

Trump, by TKO!
Then why are you all so jittery?
SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What a waste of time and effort on the part of Hoft. At this point, no Cruz supporter seriously expects him to walk into the convention with 1,237. It’s all about Donald not getting to 1,237 and the resultant open convention.
The RNC is going to have a real problem in July if they block Trump now.
Certainly when it’s mathematically impossible for Cruz and Kasich to win.
Sticking in an Establishment Rat like Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney will certainly be the RNC downfall.
The Establishment needs to man up and quit trying to lie, cheat and steal the Will of the Republican voters.
Why are you so bittery?
No jitters at all. Just p*ssed at the hypocrisy of the RNC.
If Jeb, Rubio or Kasich had Trump’s Delegate count, then the RNC would already be calling this race over.
Donald Cruz. Ted Trump. Saul Goodman.
I think it is becoming clear neither of them will clinch the nomination.
When / if Trump is no longer able to reach 1,237 will he also be “Knocked Out”?
We're trying to get you all to face reality!
And besides the states listed in this article, Trump shall also take N.J., which IS winner take all.
Trump SHALL have the 1237; Teddy won't EVER get anywhere near that number !
Trump SHALL get the 1237 and probably more.
What the bleeding hell is that supposed to mean?
Just suck it up, or go sit in a corner and cry.
When Trump is dealing with a snake, he shouldn’t go swatting for the snake’s attorney hack lawyer Mark Levin.
Ok, we will see, but I am not going to shed a tear for Trump.
no he will win it on second ballot at the Convention!! Trump won’t have enough either!!!
And I'll be laughing AT you !
