Cruz knows it is virtually impossible for him to get 1237 delegates.
He's hoping he will win on 2nd ballot after preventing Trump from getting 1237 delegates.
Unfortunately for Cruz, there is no way the GOP is going to pick a guy with less delegates after denying the nomination to a candidate with more.
It is at this point the GOP hopes it can pick someone from the establishment.
So it is smart for Cruz to get as many delegates as possible.
You do realize the ONLY people who believe this nefarious plot to take over the Convention and pick a new candidate are Trump supporters.
To prove a point I keep reading about all these Trump delegates turning into Cruz delegates. Haven't heard any stories about Trump or Cruz delegates turning into GOPe delegates.
I heard today that of the 10 times there has been a contested convention, seven of those have been won by someone who did not have the majority of delegates going into the convention.
