They may be wrong, but Cruz needs to be at least 3rd. If he is any lower they will treat it as a loss. Same with Trump and Rubio. They all must be in top 3 or it will be considered a loss. The rest of the group 1 needs 4th and the rest will be done.
I don’t know why you would say that, you are entitled.
I doubt that Trump makes it past SC, if it he even last that long.
