It's going to be Trump and if they manage to screw him it will someone other then Cruz.
The democrats won't care. They'll take it to the supreme court if they have to....but the GOPe will use it to discard Cruz long before it gets that far.
rule 40b prevents. Trump and Cruz have said weeks ago that they will not allow rule 40b be weakened
I was responding to the mudslinging in post #4.
Unfortunately I can’t vote in NJ until 7 June, that’s the day the Fat Lady will sing!
Well then Trump should be happy as they will be the only to people allowed to be voted on based on current rule 40. Unless they are dumb and change the rule. With Trump and Cruz having 80% of the delegates there they can easily write the rules they want—especially when the rule is already in place.
You’re right, it ain’t over until the Fat Lady sings. Yep, she’s warbling Open Convention, Keeps one’s attention. The RNC’s wailing for Paul Py—an.
If that's the way it goes down then yeah trump should be happy. But I fear that Cruz has already sold out. He'll fight to eliminate the rule so they can put in the GOPe candidate.

That’s just stupid. Cruz wants to be Prez not the guy who gave it to someone else. He will fight to keep the rule. In fact, if they keep it—that will be because of Cruz’s delegates as Trump’s delegates really don’t like Trump and may vote to change it.
Cruz right now is more then 200 delegates behind. That delegate gap is going to get bigger and bigger from here on out. There is no way that Cruz is going to ever convince enough Trump delegates to vote for him no matter how many ballots because he's pissed off so many Trump people already.
So what they're doing is using Cruz to drive down Trump. By the time their done they hope to put up the illusion that Trump and Cruz are totally unacceptable. Heck, you can see the way they're framing this right now. There was recent poll where 1/3 of GOP voters SUPPOSEDLY said they don't want Cruz or Trump.
Cruz already has his payoff so he's quite willing to play this out. He will instruct his delegates to vote to end 40b. They will swoop in with someone clean. After a bunch of browbeating and payoffs they will think they can get enough delegates to support their white knight.
That's the plan. It's clear and it's obvious.
