I doubt Cruz would still be standing if the opposition had sent $500 million against him in advertising and had the entire media and establishment against him.

Trump also had about $2 billion of largely positive "free" media exposure. I don't begrudge him that. "Free" media in his case is truly earned media, and it is a strength of his that he can manipulate the media (great to be on the right side of THAT equation). But those opponents who don't have a 30 year established, well-defined identity have to do it on their own with advertising, social media and old school campaigning. If you think the $500 million is unfair, you really won't like what Hillary Clinton and company will be cooking up.

Trump is crushing it and will win the nomination by June. Hell! Hillary with just one candidate can’t get 50%.

Point well taken. I have said all along that ANY candidate whose last name is not Bush can win the general if he is willing to take it to her. Cruz and Trump certainly would, I'm not sure about Kasich, who is highly unlikely to be a player.
