Exactly, its no coincidence at all that Trump’s numbers went up and Cruz’s went down nationally after WI.
The GOPe there gave him a win, a strong win, but it also removed anyone from the Cruz camp that was supporting him because he claimed he was an outsider who would stand up to the establishment.
It is insane that anyone, including Cruz himself, believes that he can walk out of the convention as the nominee. If the GOP think they have a coup on their hands now, try and use parliamentary procedures to deny Trump the nomination should he come up a handful of votes shy, and you will see the GOP literally end as a party in any meaningful way for at least a generation.
If you had another candidate close, you might get away with it, but the reality is, Trump will have between 1/3 and 1/4 more delegates than Cruz, and probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 to 5 million more actual votes... any attempt to deny the nomination, no matter how technically allowed, will wind up destroying the party.
Watching the GOPe dealing with what is going on is literally watching systemic insanity. Every argument made that they are only out to protect their power, and not interested one iota in the fate of this nation or her people is being borne out with ever move they make wit this anyone but Trump nonsense.
No wonder they haven’t been able to win the popular vote, with the sole exception of a sitting wartime president, and even then only by less than 2.5% of the vote, in nearly 3 decades. They truly are insane and self absorbed.
Between the cowardice and dishonesty of the GOP-E and everything that is The Donald, the GOP is destroyed already. See ya in the gulag!

I knew that GOP leadership, especially in Congress, has been duplicitous, appeasing - cowardly if I were to try and put a single word on it, but in my wildest dreams or drunken stupor
I’d never have believed that GOP could be best likened to Union Leadership. But there it is, there they are, in all their union glory doing what they damned well want.
