Until somebody get 1237 delegates, Cruz has a path to winning.

Therein lies the error. The statement below does not match the headline in red. You can win without the majority going into the convention as long as no one else has it and, with rule 40, you have the majority of 8 state delegations supporting you.

Kasich has no path to 1,237, and neither does Cruz as of now.

However, if Trump does not achieve 1,237 at the time of the opening of the convention, then Cruz certainly still has a "path" to winning the nomination on a second ballot if he's anywhere close.

Kasich might think he ALSO has a "path" on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th ballot, but I think he's dreaming about THAT, lol.

Cruz was stupid to set the 1,237 "suspend" criteria, but it remains to be seen how his "path to winning" progresses, IMHO. In any case, he should have stuck with the "path to winning" rhetoric!
