So, no, Cruz should not pull out. He still has a reasonable chance of gaining the support of more delegates and more voters than Trump. Remember, Trump has not had the support of over 50% of voters, whether In primaries or caucuses.

Like most Cruzers, you don't understand math very well.

If he stays in, he will roll into the convention with somewhere beyond 700 delegates. You are suggesting that every one of those delegates would stay only with him if it goes to a second ballot. You are then suggesting that over 600 delegates would all switch to him.

Not gonna happen. It's asking for a miracle that all statistics would rebuke. It's not as if he's just so popular, likable, and persuasive that everyone is going to flock to him.

Okay that's the scenario of the second ballot, but it ain't gonna happen.

If the polls hold (and they've been holding strong), it's highly likely Trump gets over 1250. If a glitch happens, and he gets only 1200, do you really think the entire GOP delegates assembled will go insano and lock him out? That would ensure a loss in the general, a loss of the house and senate, and a loss of revenue that even the GOPe couldn't handle.

Sorry, you're just being delusional, or perhaps simply math challenged. Do the math, actually do it and you'll find how badly the deck is stacked against a second ballot, or Cruz being the beneficiary of that second ballot.

It’s come to the point where I don’t care if Trump is Conservative. I believe he is, but it doesn’t matter. What matters to me is that he is the only man in the race on either side that genuinely loves his country. I still don’t understand when it became Conservative to back corporations over your country and fellow citizens.. My definition of Conservative has a little more patriotism involved in it then the conservatism I see spouted by some free traitors.
