Interesting post abound speculating on situations and maneuvers by Cruz and the GoPe for the top spot.
Cruz is done, says the math, we’re now gonna find out if he cares for the country or if he just a GoPe politikin huckster using a fake conservative label for personal gain.
He needs to choose his words carefully, and position himself for the VP.
His political future and that of the country depend on it.
VP does not matter.
Why would Cruz want to be VP? He can do more in the Senate.
Besides, the numbers are not that bad.
For Trump to win the nomination, he has to get the majority of the remaining delegates, while running a strong second. Which means he needs to get about 53% from here on out.
For Cruz to win the nomination, he only has to keep Trump from getting the majority of the remaining delegates. Which means Cruz only needs about 48% from here on out.
This is because Trump and Cruz will be treated very differently at the Convention. This is the ways the rules are written. If no candidate gets the majority on the first ballot, the convention picks the candidate.
Trumps threat to riot notwithstanding, they convention is not going to pick Trump.
