Trump can do the VERY same thing... He could play the long game.
Unfortunately for him, his campaign is not organized enough to do that.
I hope you know we can see through this mendacious farce. The delegates that are ramrodding themselves into the Nominating Convention are the long standing GOPe apparatchik which no real outsider could hope to elbow around. No independent campaign could organize enough to do that, short of an old-school Union Boss in Chicago.
Cruz has the apparatus of the GOP machine firmly and temporarily in his corner.

Balderdash!
Delegates are not the Washington establishment. They are local political activists. They work for the good of the people in most cases, which is why they are presently rejecting candidates that the MSM are shoving in our faces.
Most of them are quite amenable to Cruz, because they have just witnessed the way that the MSM have tried to bypass and destroy him and substitute one of their own, whom they have groomed and advanced through the primary.
The mendacious farce is the “billionaire” that they wish to use to destroy our chance at a conservative victory.

So I guess you’ll be amazed at the amazingly organized Cruz campaign come the convention.
Remember, when he wins, this campaign (not the failed Trump one) will be the one which becomes the national campaign.
Well defined and well organized.
Victory will be certain in the general.
