If he doesn’t drop out (after being mathematically eliminated) then I will become a Trump supporter that day.
The only rationalization for him convincing unbound delegates to vote for him is under the assumption a second vote will be needed. It won’t be needed if Trump has 1237 delegates.
That is correct he would be stupid for dropping out, if Trump gets enough delegates to win then staying in is a mute point, Cruz would then need to come together with Trump and support Trump to keep the party from dividing. I think that will happen they always seem to put difference aside at the very end.

Then you should go ahead and drop Cruz now because he ain’t gonna get close, no more Texas’s and Utah left.
He’s just following his masters orders, the GoPe money bundlers at this point. It was over for Cruz after FL and OH. Simple math says so.
Trump mathematically eliminates not only Cruz but all opposition by winning 1,237 delegates. Simple. If he has 1,237 by April 26th, or later, it’s over. If not, both the real and manufactured headlines are incorrect, neither Cruz nor Kasich are eliminated.
“... after being mathematically eliminated ...”
That’s not the way it works. If nobody reaches 1237 delegates, then there is a vote among delegates at the national convention. If Trump doesn’t receive 1237 delegates, then delegates are free to vote for Cruz. Cruz can win with fewer than 1237 delegates going into the national convention. Those are the rules that have been in place, that everyone has agreed upon.
