Cruz has no chance to win nomination. Romney supports Kasich to screw up Ohio. Romney supports Cruz to screw up Utah. (Quite the switch) This is obviously his ploy to guarantee a contested convention where he will try to (with Republican establishment) pick himself or some other person.

“Cruz has no chance to win nomination. “
_______________________________________________________

You would be more accurate to say that Trump has a much better chance to win the nomination than Cruz. Cruz can still win it if he collects 78% of the remaining delegates...certainly the math works against him...but, he does have a chance!

When you say “screw up”...it would be better to say “win”...I’m sure Cruz does not view a win in Utah as a “screw up”.

Romney is on record as fomenting this “NeverTrump” movement for a contested convention. Right now it looks like a good possibility (not 100%) that Trump will gain enough delegates to win outright. All of this speculation could melt away by June.

However, were Trump to fall short of 1,237 delegates, he should still be able to take control of the convention through a union with Cruz or possibly even with either Kasich or Rubio (who will both have about 150 delegates) to control any convention rule changes that might be plotted by the RNC/GOPe. Trump knows the “Art of the Deal”...so, in this case, one of these other gentlemen might end up as VP, or Cruz on the SCOTUS?
