According to the recent CBS national poll, not even Ted Cruz's own supporters want a contested convention, and come very soon, that will be Cruz's only path to the nomination. How will Cruz be able to explain his continued presence in the race, when he can no longer claim he's trying to win enough delegates outright for the low-information sound bite crowd?

[TontoKowalski]

Especially when the Trump Team starts rolling out the video of Cruz telling Kasich to get out of the race since he couldn't win the delegates.

[Lurkinanloomin]

It doesn’t matter, his mission now is simply to stop Trump.
The Cheap Labor Express must have the amnesty candidate they paid for.
The RNC/GOP must deliver.
They just need Cruz to block Trump from reaching 1237, then they will dispose of Cruz.

Cruz CAN NOT lose more than 49 delegates. Maybe less.

If he does, its over.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

He isn’t trying to win 1237 delegates, he’s trying to stop Trump from winning 1237 delegates, which means he’ll stay in until the end.

[Carl Vehse]

Ted Cruz is going to be mathematically eliminated from securing 1,237 delegates by next Tuesday"

That's on the first ballot. However if Trump can also be kept from getting 1,237 votes, then things open up on the second ballot.

"If that's the case and everyone has the same goal, which is to put a Republican inside the White House. . . ."

My goal is to put a conservative in the White House. That's why I'm staying with Cruz until someone else locks up 1237.

...Ted Cruz is going to be mathematically eliminated from securing 1,237 delegates by next Tuesday. If that's the case...

A statement of absolute certainty and immediately after, a caveat saying he does not know for certain...

[Sacajaweau]

I believe he's already mathematically eliminated.

Hard to decide whether Cruz or Kasich is the spoiler.

[Darren McCarty]

If that's the case and everyone has the same goal, which is to put a Republican inside the White House.

Which is why I won't vote for Donald Trump under any circumstance. Trump is not a Republican as shown by his past support for Traitor John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, his gun control support, and his current support for planned parenthood.

[Bubba_Leroy]

So next month, when Trump is mathematically eliminated from securing 1,237 delegates will it be time for him to drop out too?

[Mike Darancette]

So what kind of acceptance speech does Trump make? Does he make nice with the GOPe (the people who now control his political future)? Will his rabid supporters want him to reject party help and not sell out? Will his VP selection be a main line GOPe pol, or someone anti GOPe that we have never heard of maybe one of his Democrat buddies?

T O M O R R O W !

Cruz will no longer be a presidential contender.

LOL

[lacrew]

If Cruz and Trump strike a deal, they will collectively own the convention.

If they don’t, Kasich will start writing his concession speech to Hillary.

[conservative98]

How will Cruz be able to explain his continued presence in the race....

He’s going to lie his azz off and say he is staying in because he is the only one who can beat Hillary. As time goes on and Cruz continues to lose and is shown to lose to HIllary the worst in the polls, this will not be an effective argument. Hopefully Cruz comes to his senses and drops out before California.

With the same sincere conviction employed when addressing his eligibility....”It’s a settled issue”...

[mkjessup]

A timely reminder once more ...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Once Luz hits the mathematical wall Trump will start calling for him to GTFO and other influential people will soon follow. Teddy’s days are numbered.

[I want the USA back]

“mathematically eliminated”
I’m trying to figure out how to eliminate someone mathematically. I think what he means is that Cruz is going to be eliminated, as shown by a mathematical analysis of the situation.
