They would have to find something either wrong with the delegate, or the process that got the delegate chosen.

But that is a death knoll of the RNC tries anything so foolish.

The reason I believe Trump could still win on a 2nd ballot is simple. If he is very close, say within 20 delegates, I believe two things:

1. Most people would see the futility of denyoining someone that close and with the huge electoral lead he goes in their with. They will know it would divide the party and cause the GOP to lose in November...and I believe enough could turn to Trump to make the difference.

2) I believe Trump will be able to persuade a very close vote over to his side.

As I say...I do not ecxpect that to be necessary. I expect Trump to arrive at the convention with far more than enough.

And I say this as a long-time and committed Cruz supporter.

it’s just that I am more committed to the country and the future for my 11 grandkids.

Trump has a history with a lot of differing positions...but the message he has campaigned on, and the position on his own site, if implemented will be far, far better than and DNC win. We cannot...we MUST NOT Allow a 3rd Obama term.

What Cruz can do after Indiana, is to step up for the country and support the man who will be the nominee. Best for the GOP (without the “e”), best for the nation by far...and ironically, I believe in the end, best for Cruz...either in 2020 or 2024.

If he does not...he will have lost my respect because he will then only be pushing it for, IMHO, hos own interests in the very off chance, and the absolutely contentious chance that he can turn over the will of the people voting in the 2016 GOP Primaries.

I admire your ability to see the bigger picture. Now if Cruz were to win the nomination by some fluke, I would support him. I wouldn’t be thrilled, but I would do it - not too much to get excited about. But for Cruz supporters to go to Trump, you can share the anticipation of great changes to come. As I said before, I don’t think Trump has all the answers, but I sure as hell am going to give him a shot.

Will Cruz support Trump? To me, this is where the rubber hits the pavement for him. Does his professed faith include humility? We shall see.
