Cruises best path to the nomination, the one he’s actually following, is to put on lipgloss and and find every member of the establishment he can find.

Need to up the Trump delegate count based on tonight’s certification of Missouri results.

Yes, you are correct.

but I rely on GreenPapers for the data and I’m not sure how they handled this situation. It think the MSM sites took the delegates away when they began a MO recount. I’m not sure that GP did that. So I will wait to see if they up the popular vote and up the delegates tomorrow.

During live elections they update around the clock, now, not so much.

1. The authors use everything breaking in Cruz’s favor.
2. Recent developments do not seem to be factored in.
3. Like all recent pathways, this one uses (needs) a brokered convention.

IMHO The way that Cruz and Trump have handled recent news stories help Trump and damaged Cruz. Trump has momentum on a direct pathway and a wounded opponent. A brokered convention is increasingly unlikely and we will find out well before California. If Cruz wins the nomination after entering the convention >300 behind Trump, there will be big problems.

Bingo. None of this matters because Cruz will loose to Clinton. Which begs the question, why does the GOPe want Cruz v. Clinton? They must know he will loose. Which goes to the scary answer...because they would rather have Hillary than Trump. Cruz would know this too, which means he’s just playing his part in GOPe play. The GOPe gives it to Hillary and returns in 2020 with another set of players and game plan.

Yeah! They’ve said as much (Linda Grahamnesty).

They want to lose, hence the throwing of gasoline on Trump/Cruz fight.

“Cruz would know this too, which means he’s just playing his part in GOPe play. The GOPe gives it to Hillary and returns in 2020 with another set of players and game plan.”

Cruz cut a deal somewhere, more money from GS and a chairmanship of a big committee in the Senate.

Indiana is WTA. I can assure you they will all go to Trump.

Uh, this is from Trump’s famous book.

It’s in response to the Trump-Reagan photo that implies Trump was a Reaganite.

That was not the case.

Hard for Cruz to get to 1,237 but a bit easier to win as few more delegates than Duckin’ Donald.
