Cruz has no path to winning. He fought a good fight, and until he got swept in the south, he did have a plausible path to victory. But not now. Why shouldn’t he get out, unless he is staying in to help the establishment defeat Trump? What does that say about where his allegiances lie?
You wish, but with a 2-man race, and with Trump having a clear ceiling of 49% (his best result, in ultra-liberal MASS, and only 46% of delegates), Cruz can easily get to 1237 with all of the winner-take-all states coming up. Cruz's path to victory is simply Kasich dropping out.
OUR path to victory is Kasich dropping out. If he does, we get Trump or Cruz... if he doesn't, we get the Convention, and the GOP blows up when they name Mitt or Huckabee.
In every pathway, Hillary wins in the end... except against Cruz, and only if Kasich drops out really soon, and only if the Trump Ceiling exists. Otherwise, it is Hillary.
If Trump drops out, Cruz has a clear “path” to the nomination.
Same with Trump. If Cruz drops out, Trump has a clear “path” to the nomination.
If either of them stays in, neither will reach 1237.
I fully believe Cruz could have more delegates at the end if it were a 2 man race.
