NR is in the tank against Trump.

But, if on Tuesday the 26th Trump picks up another 100 delegates (and I believe he will, if not more), then he is going to be closing in on 950+ delegates.

That will leave him about 280 short...with still 500 more to go. I believe he will get the 53% of those he needs.

He has the only path to the nomination before the convention, and at this stage, short of a major fumble, I believe he is on track to get it.

This is why I, as a Cruz supporter, wrote the following:

Although Ted now has no path to the nomination prior to the convention, Ted does have the power to unite the party and drive the stake through the GOPe’s heart.

I hope he will.

At this point, the GOP Establishment's choices are 1) to accept that Trump is going to be the nominee or 2) to put the fix in so blatantly that a large percentage of Trump voters will turn their backs on the party, at least through November and perhaps permanently.

Option 1 at least gives them a chance to salvage Congress (saving the Senate in particular is going to be tough, given that Team Red is defending many more seats than Team Blue this cycle).
