Newt is speaking strictly as a mathematical possibility. That possibility will be removed by this evening.
From that point on, Cruz remains in as an establishment spoiler.
Its a good possibility Trump wins Illinois, Mo and Florida tonight, a tidal wave of delegates there. Ohio I am still not so sure about, I am counting that as a Trump loss, not by 6 points but maybe a squeaker. I think Cruz comes in 4th in Florida and Illinois, 2nd in Mo and 3rd in Ohio. If Trump sweeps tonight, one or two of the 4 drop out. I think Cruz and Kasich. Where then does Cruz and Kasich go? Cruz and some heads will explode here, endorses Trump and the juggernaut continues. Cruz is promised a plum job like SCOTUS or AG. Much uglier contests have resulted in strong alliances. Bush and Reagan was pretty damn ugly in 1980...voodoo economics etc. Hell trump called Carson a mental defective and that still worked out.
Cruz as a establishment spoiler?......you could be right. I just wonder what the GOPeers promised him to stay in. There’s a bunch of heavy hitters there who could reward Cruz handsomely if he manages to damage Trump.
But the $64 thousand dollar question is: “what is Trump planning? “
Wonder if Trump has a can of DDT handy?
ROTFLOL.
