Friday on Fox New Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said if no candidate gets the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination by the Republican convention this summer than at a contested convention, the Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) delegates will come to him, not Donald Trump.
Cruz said, “The only way to win the Republican nomination is to earn a majority of the delegates and that is what I believe we’re going to do, either in the states leading up to the convention, or if we get to the convention. One of the easiest ways to understand why we are in such a strong position in the convention is if Donald and I both have a ton of delegates, the question then becomes where do the Rubio delegates go? Where do the Kasich delegates go? I believe the overwhelming majority of them come to us and we will win a majority of the delegates who have been elected by the people and will win the nomination.”

It doesn’t work that way. Show me the 1237 who will be loyal to Cruz. Won’t happen. 1000 of them will stay with Trump and walk out.
The GOPe will NOT have 1237 loyal delegates.
The GOPe will NOT get their candidate nominated in any round.
“Hillary supporter?
Nope. I WILL write in TRUMP.”
Me too. I am looking into how to do a write in for Trump in my state.
A Commonwealth Court judge first ruled against Elliott’s lawsuit March 10, declaring that a natural-born citizen “includes any person who is a United States citizen from birth.”

Don't you mean the GOPe? Cruz sold out to them and he doesn't realize they don't want him either. So, NO I won't vote for a sell out GOPer.
I will not support any one coming out of that corrupted convention.
That is what I said but the PA Supreme Court only declined to hear the appeal. They made no decision.
"Of course he doesn't have the vast majority of votes and won't by the time it's done."
"compared to anybody else he most probably will"
You either have a majority or you don't. There is no "compared to".
a belated thanks for that, Octex. I’m confusing majority with plurality. Good explanation!
