First is Cruz has to get the 8 states... obviously his side not going to go for retaining that rule it unless he does get 8 states...if he does not ....then there as much invested in a free-for-all on the second ballot as the rest of the GOPe is
And the other thing is Cruz maneuvering to put in Trump delegates that are really stealth Cruz delegates.....
the Trump people are not going to be motivated to help Cruz if they feel that it all just a ploy to try and steal the vote from Trump on a second ballot
and again if Cruz has seeded all the other delegations with a bunch of crypto Cruz delegates... then Cruz has no major motivation to keep that rule...he may think why bother already got my secret people in place
problem is Cruz seeding the convention with a bunch of delegates of questionable loyalty....ie Trump delegates that are actually crypto 2nt vote Cruz delegates......
well no honor among Thieves
you might just have Trump delegates that pretended to be crypto 2nt vote Cruz delegates there are actually crypto vote GOPe choice Jeb delegates...
the GOPe been helping Cruz put in place these fake Trump delegates the Cruz think we're going to be loyal to him on the 2nt....
what's the chance that Cruz has been double-crossed and the GOPe is really been putting in their own stealth delegates with Cruz’ unwitting help
I.E. Cruz thinks he's snaking Trump delegates from around the country (with the GOPe help) when in fact that the GOPe snaking both Trump and Cruz by playing Cruz
so there might be a lot of crypto delegates that are going to not vote to keep that rule in place...after all it's to every delegates advantage in there if there are already disloyal to leave their hands-free to vote for the highest bidder
bottom line there's all sorts of Shenanigans and delegates of questionable loyalty that are going to be in that convention.... and that to me at the end of the day means GOPe advantage
Trump WILL walk into that convention with the delegates needed!!! Heads are going to be exploding but he WILL have more than enough!!!
