Those delegates are vital to Cruz’s quest to deny his rival the 1,237 delegates he’ll need on the first ballot in Cleveland. But as they’ve watched Cruz struggle to tread water in a primary increasingly dominated by Trump, many of them, wary of a bitter convention battle that could rend the party at its seams, are rethinking their commitment to the Texas senator.

Looks like they want to elect a president not a preacher passing the plate.
Ted, dont go away mad..
I am putting all speculation on hold until after Tuesday. If Trump wins Indiana, matters become a lot clearer. If not then the race continues with Cruz/GOPe angling for that third or fourth ballot win.
I hope Trump and his aides have the names of all those creeps who are defecating on “We The People” in their districts.
Is this for real or is his a joke?
Right, and I don’t believe most delegates want any floor fighting. It is the media who wants commotion and headlines.
We want unity and a winner. We want the WH!
This is not merely “gaining momentum”.
This is an asteroid strike on the planetary surface. The reverberation is going to be felt all over the world for decades to come.
It’s a joke.
I don’t believe this.
And out of NR, no less. Ted’s position steadily shrinks.
If it’s a joke, it’s not funny.
I dont believe it. But, if the manager comes out and says he did what he did to break it up? Who knows.
Agreed. Really not funny.
Hee hee.....when you’ve lost the lyin RiNOReview.....you’ve LOST!!
Perhaps they want there to be a home to go home to, after Cleveland. Most delegates are foremost political animals, and do not lightly raze connections within their base of support, not without a payoff to compensate loss.
