Pretty much. That was the plan in '08' and '12'.
Anything to keep the gravy train running for 'em; hey, even the Washington Generals get paid!

Cruz is just being used as the most convenient wrecking bar with which the GOPe can tear down their greatest fear - Trump. Once Trump is brought low, they’ll turn on Cruz too.
“Cruz will not be the nominee. “
Not sure if people are getting it, but the RNC already said there is no way in Hell Trump will be the nominee. If Cruz drops out tomorrow, Trump still won’t be the nominee. If both Cruz and Kacish drop out tomorrow, Trump still won’t be the nominee.
And knowing this, why is Trump still in the race?
First of all, last night changed nothing. The amount of delegates involved pale in comparison to what has already happened and what’s coming up in the near future.
That being said, I’ll vote for anyone other than Cruz or Kasick at this point. If Donald gets thrown out with the most votes then these two who have run inept campaigns deserve the same. They wanted to play stalking horse for this very purpose so let them now be on their way.
Doubly so for selling their souls to the devil and propping up the establishment that will cut them all off at the knees.
I remember when Paul Ryan was “the man” on this site to back as a Presidential nominee and also Rick Santorum, what happened? Did they lose their gravitas? LOL, the GOPe wants to run another Lazio against Hillary? Maybe that Fox guy Watters(?) should ask people on the street who is running in the Republican race just to see if they can name Cruz or Kasich.
Most of us are better than that. Apparently, some aren’t.
“Harlem Globetrotters”
Are we really supposed to be using racist terms like that on FR? I thought we were better than that.

And I’m more likely to stay home on election day if he is the
nominee.
“...thus causing the election of the democrat Witch.”
They do not care, as with the LAST TWO LOSSES they basically gave to the Rats (no-fight GOPe). They are fat and happy to keep lying, cheating and pandering to the far left...friends of Obama, et al.
Technically, we're both right. However, in the context of the original post, I don't think Ted Cruz was being compared to The Fonz.
Cruz doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell... If Trump GETS the number there’s a good chance the “Rove’s of the Party” will knock him out.
The Establishment crooks want the gravy train to keep rolling...

But there’s another possibility, too — one that induces salivation among the GOP’s old guard of powerbrokers. Cruz, by some unparalleled turning of the tables, has his second-ballot nomination taken away, and party mandarins manage to install John Kasich or Paul Ryan or Rick Perry as their nominee. If rules must be rewritten, so be it. If the will of the voters must be overlooked, so what. Just get one of “our guys” at the top of the ticket. The end justifies the means, right?
That can't be so. You claim that "greaser" is a racist epithet, and I reject your claim.
“If it is not Trump or Cruz I will not be voting.”
Oh, I’m gonna vote: I’m gonna write-in the name of the Presidential candidate who gets the most primary votes, only FOR EVERY CONTEST ON THE BALLOT!
Walker more likely than Ryan.
Really? You’re going to take MSNBC’s word for it?
Trojan Ted is keeping the dream alive of the establishment..
“Ted Cruz IS NOT GOP Establishment!”
Whoever wins the nomination will have to become GOP Establishment in a real hurry.
I’m guilty...where do I send my “reparations”?
Horrid choice.
However, I AM becoming more and more convinced it will be neither Trump nor Cruz.
