It's clearly a hail Mary.
Trump just scheduled a campaign event in CA tomorrow night (after an event in IN) so looks like he's going to react pretty quickly to this move.
Of course it is, but even Cruz supporters have to be disgusted by the idiocy of it!
“I can’t help but think that this is all about denying Trump in California. Cruz and Fiorina know they can’t win but if they can get enough delegates out of CA to keep Trump from the magic number and force a contested convention, then they will have achieved their purpose.”
But what on Earth IS their purpose?
Even if, by some miracle, Cruz manages to wrest the nomination away from Trump, does anyone anywhere think Trump’s people are just going to say “oh, okay. Whatever” and vote for Cruz? Speaking as one of them, HELL NO. Add a couple of million more HELL NO’s to that, and Cruz has absolutely, positively NO chance of beating Hillary in the general election.
Given that, WHY IS HE STILL IN THE RACE? I can’t believe he’s delusional enough that he doesn’t see that - so he’s just in it for... what? Ego? To screw Trump? To elect Hillary? Because he thinks he’s the anointed King of The World?
