“And if he falls short, the Republican establishment is not inclined to nominate him.”

It’s not up to GOPe, it’s up to the delegates.bThey can switch to Trump on the second ballot if they want to.If Trump is short on the first ballot, he can puck up some more and win in the second or third.
++++
I don’t think it will go that way because I expect Trump will be a net vote loser post Ballot #1. But I’m not over confident that I’m right about that.

So your point about a Trump win after the first ballot is quite accurate and could happen. What surprises me is that a Trump victory after several ballots is so easily dismissed around here. Although I’m pulling for Cruz it will be Trump who is closest to victory when the voting starts.

At this point Cruz is in it to deny the presidency to trump and give it to Hillary.

Yep. I made a thread on that subject and it was pulled.

Who, in most states, are chosen by the Repub party bosses, and will vote the way they are told if they want a future in the party.

"I’ll sit back drinking a beer shaking my head at the stupidity."

Ann Hood wrote an interesting piece on Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel. In the last paragraph she wrote:

If you are a person who remembers firsts, you also remember lasts. The last time I shared a whiskey with that husband at the end of our marriage. The last time I saw my brother alive, grinning at a barbecue grill. The April morning I held my father’s hand for the last time.

Perhaps I'll share a glass of Makers Cask Strength with an older friend of mine and we'll lift one to THE LAST TIME I EVER GAVE THOUGHT TO ANY POLITICAL ENTERPRISE EVER.

I'm smiling at the thought of it.

“And they also are foreseeing real potential for a Republican wipe-out in November.”

Thanks Captain Obvious!

Yup. A vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.

Btw, I like Cruz!

“Ryan and Kasich are serious contenders as well. “

Paul Ryan got his A$$ handed to him by Joe Biden, the dumbest guy in DC.

Yea, let’s nominate Ryan!

He’ll get the women and minority vote!/SARCASM

And Cruz can’t win...

This is the time in futures betting when a player is looking for changes in odds rather than trying to predict the winner of the final contest. Imagine what the odds will be on Hillary if she’s indicted by the FBI.

I rode Bush from 15 to winner in 2004.

This post, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3416210/posts, shows why a contested convention pretty much equals President Hillary. LOOK AT YOUR HISTORY!

If you think Cruz can win outright in round 1, vote for him. But have no illusions...if the convention is contested, Republicans lose the general.

Wasn’t Lincoln nominated at a contested convention?

Just asking.

And don’t forget: This year our opponent will be either a felon or a Socialist. I like our chances.

Wrong, here is why Trump is in the race.

++

As someone about Trump’s age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.

I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.

America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.

Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.

His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.

I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.
