This is referred to as a straw man argument.

Neither Trump nor the GOPe is acceptable to me.

There will be a rule that candidate has to have won 8 or more states. The combine Cruz/Trump delegates will ensure this.

So Cruz will be the nominee.

Ted has 9 now, so that would be a smart move for him. It will be an early test. If "Rule 40" is kept the same as 2012 (the 8 State Rule) then the GOPe isn't as powerful as some of us think. If the rule is repealed and not replaced then all the Cruz and Trump delegates are not enough to stop the GOPe from working the convention to get their desired outcome, Paul Ryan.
