Wake up Cruz people. Your guy is nothing but a temporary place holder for the GOP. The delegates mostly are not supporters of either Cruz or Trump. They are establishment hacks. After the first ballot they will pick whoever the party bosses tell them to pick, and the party bosses will pick whoever the donors tell them to pick. They are telling you this on a daily basis. You should listen.

Are you involved in your local party? I am. I know the pool of people from whom many of the delegates will be chosen. I am one of them. If I an selected as a delegate, my first choice is Cruz with Trump as a backup. I have stood up to senior members at the district convention before, and I expect to it again. In our meetings it was Cruz 36, Rubio 9, Carson 6, a bunch of guys 2, and John Ellis Bush 1 or thereabouts.
Look at the YouTube videos of teh '76 convention. The Reagan delegates were there for Reagan, and they weren't going to moved.
Trump does have the disadvantage of not having a structure to get his people in where he wins. It is an important part of the process that is overlooked at his peril. Both Reagan and Cruz covered their bases as well as possible on that one, with Reagan faltering in NY and PA, but Trump having support in those areas.
I would say that Trump's biggest problem right now is Paul Ryan with the gavel. I am not going to be thrown off my choice for president because I'm afraid of party shenanigans. there are enough of us, principled Cruz and Trump delegates, to make '76 and '64 look like a British boarding school Sunday afternoon treat.

That’s when Cruz and Trump should form a third party and clean GOPe’s clock with a win. I believe they could pull it off even though its a third party.
