My guess is he got Pences endorsement
Now that would be a brilliant move by Pence after Trump won every county in the five states contested last night. Talk about politically tone deaf.
“My guess is he got Pence’s endorsement”
At this late date Pence would have to be stupid to endorse Cruz. It might hurt his re-election bid.
After last night's five blowouts that would make no sense at all.
Surely not. Is Pence that stupid?
That’s not a bad guess. Pence is an establishment guy.
But Cruz normally announces such endorsements via his campaign.
Maybe he’s got Rubio’ endorsement and thinks he has Rubio’s 171 delegates. But Rubio does not necessarily have the power to direct his delegates to another candidate.
Trump’s lawyers are preparing to challenge via the certification process Rubio and his agreement with the RNC to not release his delegates as he has suspended his campaign. Rubio’s delegates will be unbound as a result.
In any event, Rubio’s delegates have to first be unbound before pledging to another candidate. 110 of Rubio’s delegates are in areas that Trump is very popular, and that’s a realistic count.
