It will take some very nimble footwork to avoid that scenario.

I don't think a non-Trump or non-Cruz nomination is even possible. BTW, Newt agrees with that position.

Trump is going to get somewhere between 1100 and 1300 delegates. Cruz will be a few hundred behind most likely. For Kasich to get the nomination well over 1000 Trump and Cruz delegates are going to have to change their vote. Not in the cards. Converting a couple of hundred Kasich and Rubio votes to Cruz is way, way more likely. That would work for Trump as well but I just don't think those votes are going to go that way. That's mostly gut feel at this point but I'm betting I'm right.

The delegate voting isn’t taking place now, it’ll take place after the war between Trump and Cruz has been played out in the media- or better I should say ‘by’ the media.
There will be hard feelings among their supporters, and damage to both of them. Watch how it plays out.

Yes, Cruz can get support from delegates that Trump can’t (IE:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3408439/posts) .
But it won’t help him if he’s damaged goods.

It’s all downhill for Cruz from hereon. He’s shot his wad.
