Why Cruz won’t win any state other than small pop western ones and maybe Wisconsin. That is his pattern. His vote totals are not even a third of Trump’s. And Trump is moving into his power, Cruz OUT of his power.

All Cruz can do is screw things up, he cannot possibly get 80+ of the outstanding delegates.

Unless he is killed, Trump will be the nominee and they next president.

At this point according to Politico There are 943 remaining delegates in the Republican race.

Trump has 736 delegates of the 1237 he needs. He has to win 53 percent of the remaining delegates.

Cruz has 436 delegates of the 1237 he needs. He has to win 85 percent of the remaining delegates.

If Trump wins 50 percent of New York Delegates and half of the California delegates then Cruz cannot get to 1237 without other candidates freeing their delegates and they then vote for Cruz. I see that as the most likely scenario at this time. However, that also means that some of those delegates will go to Trump rather than Ceuz which also makes it easier for Trump.

The GOPe at this time still wants Rubio and KAsich to hold their delegates to ensure Trump cannot get to 1237 on the first ballot. That means Cruz will not get 1237 either. The game at this point for the GOPe is to stop Trump then put their person in place on later ballots.
