If there are two ballots they will both have a Trump majority.
Trump is walking away the leader, nobody is touching him.
It is true that Iowa may be won by Ted Cruz, I love him, but when was the last time the Iowa picked the winner? One state with a tiny population of evangelicals does not a nation wide election make. The majority of people in this country are not evangelicals and they are not rural. New York loves Trump, even many of the liberals.
This election is Trumps to lose.
Don’t you think the GOPe strategy is to make it to two ballots? First ballot, delegates must vote according to actual candidates’ counts. After that, delegates are “free” to vote for whomever they choose. That’s the only way the Establishment can win and keep Trump or Cruz out.
That’s also why Jeb MUST stay in!
State Republican parties have been stacking delegates since the last election!
Multi-ballot?

You need to check on the details (remember Mama telling you ‘the devil is in the details’?) of how SPECIFIC Republican delegates are selected from the different states. A significant number of the delegates from States in which Trump will win will be RINOs (selected in a rigged process by the local GOPe) who, while “bound” to support Trump on the first ballot, will be freed up on later ballots to vote for someone other than Trump. That’s why is IMPORTANT that in each state where Trump will win the biggest proportion of delegates that Ted Cruz harvests most of the remainder-—to deny the GOPe candidates the delegates. In some states, the delegates on the ballots are for different candidates...so you not only choose who you prefer for the Presidential nomination, but you also separately vote for the delegates you prefer. For example, in the 2012 primary, I could vote for my candidate and then I’d also vote for (up to three) some of the delegates on the ballot. The three delegates with the most votes would go to the convention. I think the Party set things up this way to help them keep some measure of control because, unfortunately, a significant number of primary voters will not have a clue which delegate(s) they should vote for.
