I actually agree with Trump about this. Trump is basically saying, if it is him against Cruz, he can consistently get more than 50% of the delegates in a two man race. He might be right.
Cruz argues the converse. He believes that HE could get over 50% of teh delegates in a two man race.
There remains a 15-20% portion of the electorate who is sold on neither Cruz nor Trump, and it is up to those two to either win them over, or for Kasich to decide to get out on his own.
It really does not matter. I am not sure why Trump is concerned at this point. In two or three weeks Cruz will have no mathematical way to get a majority of the delegates before the convention. At that point voting for either Cruz or Kasich is a vote for giving the GOP party leadership the choice of who they want to be the nominee. I can guarantee that it won’t be either Cruz or Trump.
Those who believe that Cruz will somehow get the nomination on the “2nd Vote” have obviously never participated in the process that determines people who actually get to go to the convention. They should look at Tennessee if they want an example of how it works. Not only were Trump and Cruz people not allowed to be delegates, they weren’t even allowed to go to the meeting. Delegates are picked based on their past party participation and donations, not on who they support. At least that is how it works where I live and every other part of the country that I am familiar with.
It is very surprising to me that on a political forum how many people have obviously never participated in party politics. They should go out and get their hands a little dirty and see how it really works this time. It would be an eye opening experience.
