several scenarios
trump wins outright and hit the trails meeting plenty of women and talking up the women in his companies.
Cruz wins and trump runs third party and we lose.
crus wins and maybe 30 percent of republicans who support trump don’t vote for him and we lose.
Kasich or ryan sneak in and we rebel.
but I could be wrong :)
Trump doesn’t have the liquid cash to run a real third party campaign.
And out of all your scenarios, the only real choice left is for voter to rally and support Trump as the nominee. If Cruz gets in on a second or third ballot, he will lose to Hillary, and then all the Cruz supporters will be blamed and people will say they should have supported Trump...of course we don’t know if he will win the general, I certainly hope he would, but we would never know and all the anger would be focused on Cruz and his supporters for losing to Hillary.
If so, then he has to know that if he wins the nomination without the majority of voters on his side (100% certain if he fails to get to 1237 on 1st ballot, which will be impossible after NY where he will be mathematically eliminated) ... then he will loose the election (Trump 3rd party or his supporters stay home).
So if he knows this ... you have to ask yourself ... why is he still in the race?
trump wins outright and hit the trails meeting plenty of women and talking up the women in his companies.
Cruz wins and trump runs third party and we lose.
crus wins and maybe 30 percent of republicans who support trump don’t vote for him and we lose.

So if we don’t just fold and let Trump and his acolytes have their way you’re just going to take your toys and go home? Just do it now and enjoy President Clinton. Trumpanzees mirror their candidate. “If we don’t get our way we’re gonna throw a trumpertantrum!”
