Zero chance Cruz is nominated and despite what anyone says he doesn’t even have a mathematical chance at 1237 - he lost that when Trump won AZ. They hate the Cruzlims and the Trumpians. They’ll get some lame a$$ that didn’t even run and lose 40 states or Trump gets 1237.
I think what Trump people need to understand is that if one is able to deny Trump 1,237 then one can extract some concessions from him at the convention... one has ‘leverage’. “Hey, want me to tell my guys to vote for YOU on the next ballot? Well, make me VP, or give me a SC nod, or whatever”. A candidate’s delegate total at a convention, even if not enough to win outright, can be enough to shape the ticket and, to a greater extent, the platform. That’s why, if you’ve got enough delegates to hold such sway, you don’t just pitch it in.
Hey, but Donald loves ‘making deals’, right? So he should be just fine with the situation :)
