Ted Cruz has an actual shot at the nomination — a long shot, granted, but a real shot.

No, he doesn't. He would need to 88% of the delegates left and he hasn't even gotten 50% to date. He is still in the race because jeb and mit want him there. If they are able to prevent Trump from winning, they will drop cruz like the little bitch that he is.

It is possible for Cruz to get to 1237. It is not possible for Kasich to do so.

As I said, it’s a long shot, but Cruz at least has a shot.

That is not correct. Cruz does not have to get a majority of votes before the convention (1,237 delegates), but Trump does.

If Trump cannot cross the finish line at the first delegate vote, Cruz will win the second vote because the spoilers will no longer give Trump a head start.
