Yes, Cruz will win Indian and deprive Trump of the necessary 1237 delegates necessary to win the nomination.
Cruz will then win the nomination on the second ballot.
A Cruz win in Indiana does not guarantee a Trump loss. It then becomes an issue of California, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico.
I suspect that Trump can shut Cruz out in California the way he has in the Northeast.
THis article points out that Cruz is counting on Kasich in Oregon, and that Kasich has forgotten to get his name on the voter guide in Oregon.
So, Indiana voters need to end this fight and take a gamble on Trump. Otherwise, they could lose the Senate and lose to Clinton.
After all, Cruz has zero mathematical shot at 1237.
That also means that on the second ballot he will start that ballot 600 delegates DOWN. He has picked up no where near that number.
Do you think that Cruz can reach HALF the delegates needed to get to the nomination?
Or more appropriately, half of the delegates that Trump gets?
If he gets so lucky.. Where will he get an increase of at least 100% of delegates in Cleveland?
And do you think he can actually be viable in a general election if he colludes his way to this type of victory?
What's the color of the sky in your fantasy world?
It could happen...but it would be catastrophic outcome for November. Especially now that Cruz has brought weak Carly on board.
