Trump couldn’t be the place holder......what are you thinking?

They have no control over trump.

It needed to be someone who is an insider, preferably Jeb, but since he and a bunch of others are out for the moment, they chose the only guy they (GOPe) can control. The guy who already has a Bush brother on the inside of his team.

Cruz.

And eventually the delegates won’t be voting Cruz, they’ll be voting Jeb or Mitt.

If they aren't going to vote for Cruz eventually... it just means they wouldn't have voted for Trump eventually. There is no need for a place holder if your theory is true.

They'll vote for Cruz...
