In ten days, April 26th, if calculations are correct, it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to win.
thegatewaypundit.com reports: As we noted on the 2nd, “Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.”
Now it looks like Cruz will not only be mathematically eliminated from obtaining enough delegates to win the election outright by April 26th, he may also have fallen to third place in the polls by the end of April, too.
Based on current conservative estimates, come April 26th, Cruz will need 657 delegates to win the election but only 585 will be left leaving him mathematically out of the race.
Trump will only need 279 delegates or less than 50% of the delegates remaining to win the nomination.
And according to our conservative estimates – Trump should gain 1237 delegates by June 7th making him the Republican nominee.

Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.

Does narcissistic Cruz at age 45 seem like the kind of man to destroy his career just to stop a man with whom he largely agrees on policy?

People say Cruz will stay in to the end out of ambition - but political suicide is not ambitious. Being the guy who "savedthe Party" is.

Cruz going to Cleveland would be the equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot diving into an enemy ship. Bad for the boat, worse for the pilot.

UnSkewed GOP Delegate Count Reveals Ted Cruz Lead

Ted will continue on in defeat, tilting windmills
According to most sources Trump will be “mathematically eliminated” when California votes.
Pretty much what I predicted after Colorado;

Let Me Ask America a Question - Donald J Trump.

Kasich rising? Ugggggh.
The bright side for Cruz is he gets to go back to the Senate and
shut the Government down every 6 months or so.
Something I’m sure he is looking forward to.
You sure are hateful there, Pastor Pam.
I hope you get judged harshly, just because you’re obnoxious.
Are a snake handler too?
People will turn on him. Yesterday, he was asked if, as President, he would support a ban on dildos.
The time for cutting a deal is closing rapidly; the time for cutting a GOOD deal has probably already closed.
As much as I'm not a fan, he's run a spirited campaign, but it's over.
It may end up a Trump/Kasich ticket in Cleveland...Cruz is done...
...another one bit the dust...
It’s easy for trump to not make 1237
This is silly talk.
Teb’s mission is just to stop Trump from getting to 1237.
Then they can pick somebody else.
Good point.
Here’s a TV Movie moment. GOPe using Cruz as a foil, but at the convention, Cruz does the Unify the Conservatives against the Establishment thing, and throws support to Trump, making that an unstoppable force for the GOPe...
It started with him cutting the cheese for Amanda Carpenter.
Cruz and Kasich have already conspired against trump
Haven’t you heard?
