But that's not going to happen, and neither is Ted Cruz's "theoretical" possibility to win the nomination.
Ted can win by helping deprive Trump of the outright majority, and hoping he is picked over Trump on the second round. He does run a real risk that if he doesn't get it on the second round that someone like Ryan (or Mittens himself) gets it on the 3rd, 4th or 5th.
I have provided all the numbers, see post 100 in this vanity thread from last week:
Ted Cruz supporters at this point are voting for the GOP Establishment to Choose the nominee.
Sadly, for you, the win in Wisconson doesn't change this.
Soon enough Cruz will need > `100% of the remaining delegates to win outright.
Cruz probably would prefer to win as a spoiler to a actually gaining more delegates. It seems more his style.
“Even if Trump won every single remaining delegate he could not get to 1237. Due to no chance of winning Montana and South Dakota, Trump is effectively eliminated at the end of May.
Trump’s campaign staffers have done this math. That is why they are increasingly laying the groundwork to call for Cruz to exit the race when he is eliminated from a majority. They know Cruz is the second ballot favorite, and that Kasich is a non-factor.”
