I am so tired of saying this.
Cruz is in it still to get the VP slot. If Trump is short, Cruz will offer to release his delegates and endorse Trump in exchange for the VP slot. There is no reason why Trump wouldn’t do it. It gives him the nomination with 1,800+ delegates out of 2,472 and the establishment would be helpless to stop it and neither Trump nor Cruz would owe them a single favor.

Maybe, but only if Trump doesn't think he will get enough delegates on his own. Trump has a very good chance to reach the threshold without having to make any deal. Plus, the prospect of having to spend four years with Ted Cruz is probably viewed as a prospect worse than death itself.

They make comments like, "Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas". Would be funny as hell for them to have to add Cruz in their own stupid saying!

Releasing delegates doesn't mean they will vote for the person you want. It is a crap shoot.
Trump will get at least 1100 delegates. Probably closer to 1200 going forward. There will be 1050 delegates left to apportion after tonight. AZ is a winner take all state with 58 delegates on March 22. I see Trump taking AZ handily with Arpaio and Brewer endorsing him.
Trump has 619 delegates now with more to come from IL and MO. He will be close to 650 or 675 at the end of the night. NJ is a winner take all state with 51 delegates and NY has 95 delegates apportioned by votes. CA has 172 delegates with a winner take most. IMO Trump can amass the needed 1,237 before the convention.

I don’t think Trump will pick Cruz. If Cruz wanted the VP slot, he would get out now and endorse Trump.
