Cruz has won less than 25% of total votes cast. He has lost most primaries. Many of his wins have been caucuses that are controlled by party insiders. When the actual voters get to decide he loses.

Jeb! and Neil Bush and the rest are just using him to stop Trump.

Trump won areas with open caucuses where Democrats could choose the GOP candidate.

Which liberal will the Democrats choose in the general election?

In order for Trump to win the nomination before the convention he has to win over 55% of the remaining delegates. So far he has won less than 40%.

Trump supporters argue that as long as Trump is in the lead going into the convention he should automatically be declared the winner and any other result will be stealing the nomination.

Fine. If Cruz wins 55% of the remaining delegates he will be in the lead going into the convention. Should he then be automatically declared the winner and will any other result be stealing the nomination?

The most likely outcome at this point is that Trump and Cruz will split the remaining delegates and go into the convention with Trump in the lead and Cruz a close second. After the first vote, Trump’s and Cruz’s delegates will stay put and Rubio’s and Kasich’s delegates will be up for grabs. If Trump gets most of them than Trump will win. If Cruz gets most of them than Cruz will win.
