Same result either way - stop trump and Hillary is almost automatic. Far more Trump fans would be willing to vote for Cruz than the other way around but the excitement would be gone and it's unlikely that Cruz would actually end up with the nomination even if he manages to stop the guy with the best chance.

No. Third Party can win for Trump. But it should n’t be necessary.
“Trump should take the 1237 delegates and then the nomination. But if there should be a floor fight, then a 3rd Party run will be successful because registrations of Independents have surged enormously from 24% in 2010 to 42% in 2014, and there’s an additional 5% to 7% coming in from people that haven’t voted in years or never voted. Add 5% of Reagan democrats, 6% blue collar republicans who did not vote for Romney, add an additional 4% of the black vote, 5% of Hispanics and Latinos who never voted GOP, and clearly there’s a winning margin over the democrats and what’s left of the GOP.”
