Cruz will win it. In fact the GOPe is more likely to hurt Cruz than Trump because he is more dangerous to their cushy arrangement than a Trump presidency. Par Praedam.
I just don’t see it
The problem with Trump is he cannot get to the threshold of 1237. Most delegates whether we like it or not are Republican Establishment with a capital E. They need to be courted and Trump thinks this is all a popularity contest. It isn’t. It never was. Cruz on the other hand has been courting them and has been working within the narrow rules to win them over. The echo of the MSM is what is driving trump support. Tack on name recognition and there is how he gets the support he needs. I bet you those early supporter have serious regret for their support for this guy and hope that 1237 doesn’t happen.That is why Cruz can clinch it on the second ballot.
