Lurking. Seeing who we get to say "I told you so" to. Trump supporters are such bad winners in general, that we don't want to hear the obnoxious braying, just see the results.

Tell ya what, Joe.

I'll stop lurking if it makes you feel any happier.

Here's my question.

What is Cruz still in the race for? Posters opposed to Trump, like to crow that it will be very difficult, at best, for him to reach the magic number of delegates to attain an outright majority going in.

But Trump is hundreds of delegates ahead of all other candidates; and the race is heading towards large Northeastern states, thought to be especially friendly to Trump and hostile to evangelical dominionists such as Cruz (he will be characterized as a religious nutcase).

So where is Cruz's path to the nomination?

What is Cruz still in the race for?

VP slot. Period. He will agree to release his delegates and endorse Trump for being named Trump's running mate.

Trump would prefer to hit 1,237 on his own without a deal, but if he can't, do you think he will turn down a chance to win by with 1800+ delegates on the first ballot in exchange for giving the VP slot to Cruz?

Trump wants to win, and that would put him in as the nominee by an overwhelming vote.

Read "The Art of the Deal" if you don't think Trump will make that deal.
