If Trump is that close, he will win on the first ballot with uncommitteds and released delegates. That would be the same as Ford in 1976.
The idea that every delegate not 110% for Trump would never vote for him just isn’t true. Delegates who have a long-term commitment to the GOP as a viable party want it together to fight another day.
All that is assuming Trump doesn’t somehow disqualify himself.
I certainly hope, that if there is no clear winner by number of initial delegates, that breadth of outreach would be considered. Nobody has romanced ex-Democrats quite like Donald.
Want to take bets on what Donald will call Hillary, if he has called Cruz “Lyin’ Ted”? The “Hypnotist from Hell?”
“If Trump is that close, he will win on the first ballot with uncommitteds and released delegates. “
Exactly. Trump only needs to make up the short fall and that is so easily done it’s ridiculous.
