That makes more sense. Even Priebus has said as much. He has said multiple times that when a candidate reaches 1237 it’s all over.

Certainly, reaching 1237 can happen before the convention by the win results coming into the Convention, or shortly after the Convention opens by obtaining a few additional number of delegates to get you to 1237 and it’s over.

Rita, you and I are in disagreement over Trump BUT RNC, if it tries to pull thiscrap will need only to win a credentials fight or several. Make up a phony excuse as to why NY's unanimous or near unanimous Trump delegation is somehow illegitimate. Congressthing Peter King (plutocrat slave-NY2) does the TV agitprop aout how NY was somehow ROBBED. The NY delegation is ineligible by normal rules to vote on its own credentials. Or bundle FL and other Trump big delegations with NY (CA?, PA, IL, etc., as many as necessary) and make them all part of one challenge on which NONE of them can vote.

This sort of crap is an old GOP-E tactic pulled by Dewey and Eisenhower against Robert Taft in 1952 and it worked as Ike's supporters piously pranced about the convention floor with pre-printed picket signs reading Thou Shalt Not Steal to unseat the Texas delegation chosen by whatever means, most likely state convention in those days.

Therefore it is NEVER over until Paul Ryan brings down the gavel as convention chair and declares the nominee. Then Congresscreature Gerald Ford did that to Reagan at the 1968 convention as Paul Laxalt approached to change enough delegate votes from Nixon to Reagan to stop Nixon on the first ballot, leaving only Reagan and Rockefeller and the second choice of most Nixon delegates was Reagan. Nixon would have collapsed on the second ballot since his dominance was hanging together by bubblegum and bailing wire and the first ballot loyalty of J. Strom Thurmond, Barry Goldwater, Harry Dent and the ever treasonous Clarke Reed. I know you mean well on this POTUS race even if I disagree with your candidate. The foregoing is a caution to you and your fellow Trump supporters NOT to underestimate the perfidy of the RNC and the GOP-E.

Cruz is likely going nowhere. Trump has crippled him. So the obvious choices are those who emerge at the convention, are trusted by the usual gang of suspects and remained out of the fight. They come on during Day One of the convention through a successful credentials war, when it is too late for Trump's tactics. They don't like Cruz or even Rubio so it will be neither of them. It won't be Kasich whatever Kasich may think. It might be Scott Walker (OK I am biased). They might name Cornyn or some other senior senator not known to be a leftist sliebag but who really is. OR, Paul Ryan may turn his gavel over to the generally unknown Kevin McCarthy and "reluctantly" take the nomination "to save the arty and the nation." What a SWELL guy!

Do ya see what I am saying? AND, if it is Ryano, when he loses because of the mass nausea of the base over what a whore he is, he gets simultaneously re-elected to the House seat (allowed in Wisconsin, see 2012) and continues as "leader" of the Wall Street Party if not as Speaker.
