That’s absurd. Cruz can certainly obtain the 1237 delegates on the second or subsequent ballots. To be honest, you could too.

I would remind Trump supports that the rules do not give the nomination to the person who has the most delegates on the first ballot but to the person who first reaches 1237.

Of course that's a big FU to all the people who voted for Trump, and those who voted for others but now support him, close to half, maybe over half by then. But if the GOP cared about what voters want they wouldn't have Trump to worry about now.

When was the last time the frontrunner didn't get the nomination? Over 60 years ago. It ain't the 50s anymore, and whoever the pubs come up with sure wouldn't be no Ike.

Yeah, that’s just what we need to face Hillary in the Fall, someone who can’t win the most popular votes or delegates, yet will win on the 10th ballot using rules made up by the party elites that so many voters are against this year...yupp, that should produce a really strong candidate for the voters to rally behind... /sarc
