I am assuming that you are smart enough to realize that the only reason that the GOPe such as Mit are currently flocking to Cruz is to try and prevent Trump from getting enough delegates to avoid a brokered convention. If that happens there is almost no chance that these same people will make any effort to get Cruz the nomination. He is being used, he know it and I find his comments that he believes that he has serious chance to become the nominee to be disingenuous.

As far as the polls showing that Cruz would do better against Clinton... they defy common sense and there are other polls that show the opposite. At this point Cruz's role in the primary is the same as Kasich’s. He is a spoiler for the GOPe, just with more delegates. If he wants anything out of this other than a failed bid president... his best bet would be to start talking with Trump. ForN

You may have misspoke — I don’t think they want to *avoid* a brokered convention, I believe the fully *desire* a brokered convention. And yes, that has been my point all along. Over and over and over and over. And I’ve been flamed for pointing it out. I have *never* asserted cruz could win it outright - quite the opposite, I have mentioned cruz and Kasich as spoilers more than a few times who’s only option at this point is to try and deny trump 1237 delegates. Yet the more rabid trump-pets can’t be bothered to read — they just start flaming when someone doesn’t lick trump’s boots with the same frantic vigor that they do.
