It's 744-559 now. There is a high probability that Trump won't have the 1237 by July either. There is NO reason for Cruz to drop out. He is one of two viable candidates with a large part of the vote (and winning the GOP states to Trump's Liberal states, outside of the Old South), heading into a likely Brokered Convention.
If nobody gets 1237, the Convention should hand it to one of those two candidates. The GOP will likely try to force in a third alternative, but they would be making a huge mistake. Cruz can still make a claim to the nomination because he has won many states, is within striking distance of the leader, and a large part of the lead was built back when there were 17 candidates. In a 2-man race, with Trump NEVER topping 50%, Cruz could have won.
Cruz has topped SIXTY percent in more than one state, and Trump has yet to beat 49.3%. Cruz did it in very Conservative states, but Trump's best states are/will be MASS, NY, and CT... the most Liberal area of the nation. This says a lot.
In the end, the Trump celebrity-worshippers and the GOPe are going to hand the election to Hillary, despite 75% of the nation, in both parties, wanting something other than the Same Old Same Old... Hillary ,who has strode atop the DC pyramid for 24 years so far. We are a pathetic electorate.
Ted Cruz is going to come in not second but third to a guy who has only won one state in the coming weeks. He has no path to the nomination and you are going to see him exit the race. If he refused to get out Cruz will destroy his political career if he has not already.
As soon as Cruz hits the mathematical wall he will start getting the pressure to drop out. You will be surprised at who will start coming out and “suggesting” maybe its time for him to exit the race.
All this bad publicity Cruz is getting in voterless primaries is already affecting his poll numbers. He is on a losing path.
As much as Cruz supporters wish he would stay in it til Cleveland he will not. Trump will get to 1237 and be the nominee on the first ballot. There isn’t going to be a second ballot.
Ted Cruz could not even get to 50% in TX. He totally lost the South and now the NE in the coming weeks. When you are coming in third at this point in major States you are no longer a viable candidate. He will be out soon.
