I'm guessing folks think that the other delegates (Kasich, Rubio, etc.) would be more likely to vote for Cruz. But even if they all went for Cruz that seems tough for him.
I'm just estimating at the numbers, but I think about 900 delegates are still to be voted on. If 490 go to Trump he has about 1230 and falls short. 410 go to Cruz and he has 875. All of the remaining delegates total about 360 - even if they all go Cruz, Cruz still has only 1234 delegates. (Assuming that Trump and Cruz both keep their original delegates, which they very well might not depending on how their states elected them.)
All pretty confusing.
Like Art Bell says “May you live in interesting times.”

According to an article I read today, there are 808 delegates still up for grabs.
