Just like Kasich is now.
I don't need a list of the results of the primaries, we know who can still win the majority of delegates and who can't.
Cruz knows he cannot (as does Kasich) and both are just planning to stop Trump from getting the number 1237 and then try to win at the convention.
Both Cruz and Kasich should acknowledge that they have lost and Trump has won the nomination instead of trying clever insider tactics that will be rejected by the Trump voters, no matter how much the Cruz people try to defend them with clever word games.
The rules of the primary are clear. Just as many sports have overtime if no team has a win at the scheduled end, primaries are decided at the convention if no candidate has a majority of delegates before the convention. If Cruz is down by three and going for a three-pointer at the buzzer to put this game into overtime, that has been part of the rules for 200+ years. It’s a perfectly legitimate strategy.
Team Trump just has to block the shot that Cruz is taking. They are trying rhetoric to do that, but their argument is too weak to work. They have to stop Cruz at the polls, and they may be strong enough to do just that. They know the rules, and I’d like to see them outplay Cruz under the rules of the primary and if necessary of the convention.
