Probably true. I still think Cruz should have left the campaign March 15th after losing 6 out of 6 contests. I still can’t believe he didn’t get any crap for that. Can you imagine if trump lost 6 out of 6 contests on March 15th? Holy cow the backlash would have been ugly.
If Cruz wasn't still in the race, then four things...
We wouldn't have a chance for a conservative to get the nomination in the second round.
Katich would be getting more votes.
The GOPe and Kasich would be playing the delegate convention game instead of the conservative anti establishment Ted Cruz doing that, increasing the chances of the GOPe getting their way at the convention.
Trump would have free rein to move further left.
