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.
Cruz is delusional. I’m sure he thinks he can still win a brokered convention. He won’t be making peace with Trump after all the NBC stuff.
This could become a VP picked by the establishment in exchange fot not trying anything at the convention. Bush 41 was that kind of compromise with Reagan as memory serves me in 1980.
