...the winner of the Republican primary needs to have 1237 delegates.

Does that mean your man will drop out when he no longer can reach that magic number? Oh no, because he plans to win it in a contested convention since that is his only real hope of winning it, and has been for quite some time.

I'll repeat the long standing rule.

The winner of the nomination needs to have a majority of the delegates, in this case 1237 delegates.

And my question was, when Cruz can no longer hit that 1,237 mark does that mean he will drop out of the race. Of course you are sidestepping my question because you know this has been his stated goal for over a month. Oh sure he would like to have 1,237 going in, but his chances of securing that are so very slim.

No he has been pinning all of his hopes for more than a month on keeping Donald from 1,237 and entering into the convention with hopes of maneuvering a 2nd or 3rd vote win. Which is why he is now cozying up to the GOPe.
