Your entire arguement is based on the premise of leaving out a third possibility. That Cruz would get a plurality of delegates.

Not going to happen. But I'll play the game. First, how is it possible that you haven't thought this through? Nobody but Cruz is suggesting he could go into the convention with a plurality of delegates. The GOP-e is working with Cruz and Kasich and everyone else for one purpose - to keep Trump from having the nomination already clinched. They are assuming he will at least have the plurality of delegates. They just don't want him to have the majority at that point. Let that sink in - it's already assumed that Trump will have a plurality of delegates by the convention. The plan is to keep him from having a majority and steal it from him at the convention and give it to someone else.

Are you seriously suggesting that if Cruz has a plurality of delegates, then it's all over? You are kidding right? The same GOP-e that will take it away from Trump would certainly take it away from Cruz. Don't they hate Cruz and everything he stands for? Well? Do they or not? This is entire point I've been making about THEM using Cruz and him playing along. Ultimately, THEY have the power and will toss him aside the moment they need to. Just as they did with Rubio. Just as they will with Kasich. Oh, but Cruz is "special" and they won't do it to him, right? LOL That's what Rubio thought. That's what Kasich thinks. I can't believe the Cruz supporters are falling for this. They sound like a female being courted by a serial womanizer, "Oh, he won't cheat on ME".

In an contested convention, Cruz has already said that he is only for the candidate with the most delegates, winning the convention.

I'm afraid you are wrong here as well. I know why you think that though. It's because you believed what Ted Cruz said. When he said that, he was still under the delusion that he would win outright, so he wasn't worried about having to actually back up this principle if put to the test. Now, after his prospects aren't looking as good, he's had a new revelation! From a Townhall article (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2016/03/16/ted-cruz-why-yes-denying-trump-the-nomination-at-a-contested-convention-would-be-legitimate-n2134448) with a headline "Cruz: Why Yes, Denying Trump the Nomination at a Contested Convention Would be Legitimate" it says:

Now, having dismissed and critiqued the concept of a contested convention for weeks, Cruz's campaign and allies should take note of the argument their candidate advanced with Hugh Hewitt last evening prior to returns coming in. There's a difference between an establishment-"brokered" convention and a contested convention, he said, contending that a scenario under which the delegate frontrunner doesn't end up claiming the final crown wouldn't necessarily be illegitimate:

BOOM.

Classic example of why some view Cruz as a typical lying, sleazy politician. The moment he needs to jettison a position of principle that he had just articulated a few days earlier, BOOM, it's gone.

You previously asked for something he's changed a position on since working with the GOP-e. Well, there you go. Ted Cruz served it up on a silver platter.

And as far as who has more power, Cruz or the GOPe, it's Cruz who has his the larger slate of chosen delegates, and not the GOPe!

I hope by now you see what a silly, naïve argument that is.

You don't know if it's going to happen or not. That's pure speculation.

And if it isn't going to happen then what pray tell is your concern??

Are you seriously suggesting that if Trump and Cruz hold 80 or 90% of the delegates to the convention, that the GOPe can take the nomination away??

Instead of describing in your own words what Cruz said and then criticizing him for it, you should instead supply the direct quote.

I hope by now you see what a silly, naïve argument that is.

LOL. I would have hoped by now that you would have seen that you still haven't made any argument.
