I read this a couple of days ago when it first came out. I’ve not read anything since that shows Cruz disavowing her statements. Pretty telling.
Far as I can tell, Trump fans, here is the answer (there is a bad word in it!):

Cruz is more GOPe than most people think. I would not be surprised if he was the contingency plan for the GOPe all along. I’d explain in detail, but I’m in not mood to hear the Cruz people at the moment.
They don't want Cruz anymore than they want Trump.
If Cruz had the balls that Trump has he'd send them a letter asking them to cease...Or do what he does best, challenge them to a debate.
How much leverage will the RNC have at a brokered convention? The pledged delegates have to vote for whoever won the primaries/caucuses in each state, so unless they change the rules, only the superdelegates can vote for whomever they please. Superdelegates account for only 30% or so at the convention, I think, which isn’t enough to give Jeb or some other establishment favorite the nomination if he doesn’t win any states.
No it's by a majority of delegates.
