Can Rubio, Kasich and Carson give their delegates to Cruz?
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Why would they? They can’t stand him either.
So they can pick Rubio or Kasich on the 2nd or 3rd go?
That has to wait until after the first vote at the convention.And by that time, it won't matter at all, because Trump will be the nominee.
Because in the Cruz-o-sphere, Ted is entitled to anything and everything because he is special.
Cruz’s best hope is 2020 or 2024
If my aunt had mustache she’d be my uncle
Come on, it was a reasonable question. And, for all the bragging, it appears Trump only bagged 17 or 18 more delegates than Cruz tonight, out of around 500 up for grabs.
The big losers (other than Carson and Katich of course) was Marco Rubio who looks to have collected less than 110 delegates.
Cruz has 174 delegates so far and Trump has 300+
I don’t think they would even if they could. I believe a brokered convention is inevitable. Yes, it will probably get even uglier.
The Dems give us two bad candidates and we still can’t get our act together and sell true constitutional conservatism to the people. They need to be reminded WHY small government matters.

If Cruz had all of the other delegates, he would have 264 delegates. It still would not be enough to equal Trumps 274. And, there is another fact of statistical logic. With all of the other candidates out of the race, what delegates that would have gone to those other candidates, would Cruz pick up?
I think there is another point here that needs to be made. With the other candidates sucking delegates from the top two candidates, it could cause the top delegate winner from getting the 1237 delegates to win the nomination. That means a brokered convention where anyone could have the nomination handed to them. It could be given to someone who never spent a dime in the primaries or rolled a jet. When thinking about that, it becomes pathetic.
thought he’s have a lot more delegates winning all those states.
that proportionate thing is strange.
I would check your math again...
with the proportionate delegates, you’re right.
very shocked at the numbers
His best bet would to get His house in order. Remember Canada
It’s weird, but soon the winner take all states start. :-)
Cruz just got his first Senate endorsement: Lindsey Graham. Might be time to rethink some things, FRiend.
that makes more sense.
primary and generals should be winner take all.
didn’t the forefathers lay this out ahead of time??
Yes. My earlier math was off. 164. How many more $millions will Ted need to convince the remaining States to vote for him?
They all stick together, except Sessions and we know what HAT he wears.
