You don’t actually believe the GOPe wants Trump or Cruz, do you?
Not at all. But they value the “party” more, and with exit polling showing 60-70% of voters saying whoever has the most delegates after the primary should be the nom, they won’t give it to a Kasich or another that hasnt run. It’s going to be Trump or Cruz and I think the closer Trump gets the better his chances the delegates give it to him on first ballot (if he doesn’t get the 1,237 - which I think he will). The party won’t say that and will make it look like there will be a “floor fight”, though.
