Cruz still has a chance at the 1237 delegates, although it is admittedly slim. If he goes the distance and fails the scenario will be just as you describe. At this point I am hoping that Trump can cut a deal with Cruz and get this thing wrapped up.
Me too, but what it will take is for Cruz to see Ryan or some other RINO being put forth by the establishment as the alternative to Trump (instead of Cruz himself), and Cruz's odds of winning 1237 to become mathematically impossible.
