It is certainly possible that the GOP will rig the convention against
Trump and Cruz could win the nomination.
It will be a victory like Colorado.
Cruz will lose in the general, he will be blamed and he will be finished.
It will be quite a fall for a once promising career.
I doubt he would even serve out the rest of his senate term.
No matter what, Trump gets blamed. To this day, it is Perot's fault that GHWB didn't get traction. The party NEVER owns its mistakes.
