The funny thing about this is, odds are even if Cruz/Kasich manages to keep Trump from 1237 and you wind up with a contested convention.... none of those three are historically likely to be the candidate.... Contested conventions tend to wind up with a dark horse candidate after lots and lots of ballots....

Granted haven’t had one in a long time, and very few since the primary era... so the fallout for ignoring the voters would be insane, but I never underestimate the stupidity of Republican leadership.

As stupid as the GOP leadership would have to be to let this happen, I’d say the idiots would vote Jeb the nominee eventually. If its a contested convention, Odds are none of the three wind up the nominee.

Strange, the GOP AZ vote has been stuck on 64% for maybe a half hour now. I wonder what the hold up is?

That is the way it is looking. It is very unnerving, but to avoid it Cruz has to defer to the frontrunner. Period.

Cruz is the key to the disaster and destruction of the party and for all concerned.

He is soo clinically proportioned ambitious, he thinks the GOPE will install him. LOL!

Something has to give. These delegates are privileged to vote twice. They each voted already in their respective state primary, and their candidate either won or lost there.
