Trump and Cruz should control the vast majority of delegates that will set the rules for who can be nominated on the floor. If they just keep Rule 40(b) in place, only Trump and Cruz can be nominated.

TLDR~ the first order of business at a GOP convention, after the call to order, is to pass a rules package

The GOP's convention rules are based on a modified version of the same rules used to run the House of Representatives. (In fact, traditionally the speaker of the House runs the convention, as will be the case this year.) Just as in every new session of the House, the first order of business at a GOP convention, after the call to order, is to pass a rules package. Spicer compared it to a condo board or neighborhood association meeting, where people need to know the process and how the meeting will run before they start voting on new business.

Ted Cruz will not be the nominee.
