RNC headquarters conversation:
"Trump has knocked out everyone we have endorsed. We have to endorse Cruz."

Anxious Republican officials are coming to terms with the idea that their second least favorite GOP presidential candidate — polarizing Texas conservative Ted Cruz — may be the party's best last chance to stop Donald Trump.
"It's an outsider year, and the most logical person to take on Trump based on past performance is Ted Cruz," said another former presidential opponent, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. Earlier in the year, Graham likened the choice between Cruz and Trump to "being shot or poisoned."
"He's not my preference," Graham said of Cruz. "But we are where we are. And if Trump wins Florida and Ohio, I don't know if we can stop him."
Indeed, next Tuesday's winner-take-all contests in Florida and Ohio have injected a sense of urgency into the GOP's anti-Trump movement.
The billionaire businessman is calling on mainstream Republicans to unify behind his candidacy ahead of next week's primaries, which could give him an insurmountable delegate lead.
"If I win those two, I think it's over," Trump told CNN's "Anderson Cooper's 360."

Nope. Ain’t supporting Cruz for VP either. NBC rules apply there as well.
Cruz is toast but nobody is talking about that yet.
Maybe Texans will keep him on, but I expect more and better from our greatest State.
Cruz is toast as far as the presidency goes. But he’s on course now to maybe bring the country down by handing the nomination to the GOPe’s choice at the convention.
RNC headquarters conversation:
"Trump has knocked out everyone we have endorsed. We have to endorse Cruz."
“Polls show Cruz loses to Hillary in OH, FL and PA.”
Polls showed Kerry running away with the election in 2004.
Note tagline. I hope you don’t mind.
What Purple State would win?
What minorities has Ted have with him
Known facts Trump can get Democratic Votes and Cruz can't get them.
“Polls showed Kerry running away with the election in 2004.”
Correct, and MI polls showed Hitlery beating Marx in a landslide.
So we all know they can be wrong.
I’m just mentioning the state polls vs. the national polls to those who continue to promote the ‘Trump loses to Hillary in polls’ schtick.
There some truth to it, but definitly misleading given the more pertinent state polls.
How would a man who who graduated from Harvard
Argued 9 Cases at the Supreme Court could just by over site failed to list tow low interest loans from Citi group and Goldman Sachs?
Whose to biggest Backer pro immigration Club for Growth and Goldman Sachs
and that is your God given right that I served to defend but what I will not do is to propagate opinions not of my own. If I can’t verify that 100% of what someone else says, then I won’t repeat it for the likelihood it is not the whole truth. Half truths are far more dangerous than an outright lie.
If comes down to 2 shortly after Tuesday and everyone picks a side. It will be a dog fight BUT either Trump or Cruz will get absolutely get to 1237.
Rubio and Kasich delegates have to go somewhere when the candidates suspend.
It’s not Cruz that’s screwing us, it’s Rubio and Kasich if they don’t get the heck out.
Actually, no. It is fairly likely — I’ve seen estimates of over a third probability — that neither will get the delegates required.
And Rubio and Kasich aren’t on our team, so of course they are trying to thwart the 1237.
