You’re low on Cruz at 700-800, other than that I agree completely. This is Trump’s to lose, if on the first ballot then in the “deal making”. Because of the impact on Congressional races, I think a candidate other than Trump or Cruz is not in the cards, and Cruz better be within 100, at most 150 delegates to be viable. It’s Trumps deal to make if he doesn’tget to 1237
Watch Rubio. Notice he is not endorsing Cruz? Gee, I wonder why that could be? If Trump needs a few delegates he’ll do a deal with Rubio and make him VP. The GOPe will go along because they want some influence on Trump and right now they have NONE. Cruz, OTOH, is a bought and paid for career politician. He ain’t going nowhere but the GOP. LOL.
Rubio is out of work in January. He’d be happy to live at One Observatory Circle. Biden seems like a nice enough guy to leave the silverware and dishes. If he doesn’t want to live there, Kasich might have enough delegates. And they’re both young enough to run on their own in 4 or 8 years. And from important states. Depending on the numbers Cruz would likely need both of them, unlikely, or a lot of swing delegates.
Yes he did, he even campaigned for him after he dropped out.
You need to start paying attention.
