Only if Trump gets to 1,237. Otherwise, we may end up with someone who never ran. Of course Cruz thinks it will be he, as do his supporters, but there is certainly no guarantee of that.

But the real problem is that if it is Trump or Cruz so much damage has been done to these 2 candidates, that will cause problems for them in the General Election. If someone else becomes the nominee, it only aides to elect the Democrat nominee. Basically the Super PACs have ruined the chances of a Republican candidate winning.

Well I like to deal in reality and the reality is that Trump will be at or near 1237 on June 7th. At that point if he is 50 or so delegates short its an easy makeup. He either captures the needed number by seducing a few of the unbound delegates or offers Kasich VP which is what he wants and gets the makeup number from Kasich’s 143 delegates.

Cruz if he is dumb enough to try to stay in it til June 7th which I hightly doubt will be hundreds of delegates short and no way to make it up.

Trump wins on the first ballot and we all move on to the general election.
