Meet Curly Haugland, former chairman of the North Dakota Republican party and current Republican national committeeman. Haugland is one of just 112 delegates who will arrive unbound to this summer’s Republican convention in Cleveland, free to cast a vote for any candidate he chooses on a first ballot because North Dakota does not hold a primary or caucus. That makes him a particularly valuable asset to the still-dueling presidential campaigns...

A contested convention favors one person and that person is Hillary Clinton.
National Review favors Ted Cruz, so no wonder they come up with this nonsense.
They keep quoting that douche from ND who tell us they pick the nominee. He’s a MediaTard favorite now.
More likely favors HIllary winning in the general :(
Bush is going nowhere. Using Ted as his surrogate will fail miserably.
The hits keep coming but Trump keeps winning.
Nate Silver says “ I’m thinking Trump has close to 775 delegates already.”
If Trump wins Wisconsin its over. Lots of libs there, Rinse Prius and Gov. Walker don’t want Trump, its going to be interesting if they want to tick him off and risk their own future in the party. They are both relatively young and have a lot to lose if Trump becomes President.
If anyone but Cruz wins another 180 delegates , its over for the Math for Cruz.
So I am thinking this ends for Cruz for sure on Apr. 26 when Trump favorable states CT, DE, MD, PA, RI equals 172 delegates up for grabs. Plus NY’s 95 is a total of 267 so if Silver is right and Trump wins 200 of them Trump is at 975 or better.
At that point there will be 504 plus the Wisconsin delegates to get and a lot of them are Trump leaning. When Cruz can no longer win on first ballot, I believe Trump will have several “walkover” states because even die hard Cruz guys will lose hope in their guy.
I can see Trump getting over 1300 delegates by the convention and that is being conservative.
After Belgium terrorist attack, I think the case for Trump is better than ever, because he makes the best case for protecting Americans by far of anyone in either party..
Time for Teddy to stop the wishful thinking and reject endorsements for the establishment, these endorsements make him a sellout and an instant insider.
All who belive some flunky from ND makes the rules, raise your hand...
Democracy inaction.
New York Times/CBS Poll: 74% of Republicans Don’t Support Cruz, 80% Don’t Support Kasich…

One thing is certain Cruz will not have 1237 or even close to it. He will be a distant #2. Trump will be the clear leader going into the convention.
Exactly, tearing the party a part and nominating Romney or JEB is not a solution voters are going to support
Contested convention is the final death of the Republican party.
Anyone but Trump guarantees a continuation of GOPe business as usual.
Now Cruz will patrol Extreme Christians neighborhood. GodGunsGuts your neighborhood will be in Cruz watchlist.
Are you donating enough to Heidi Cruz?
A contested convention favors Hilary. I went out and voted for ecch-Romney. I will not vote for any brokered nominee. 15 million stand with me, and the GOP dies of its own hand.
Where’d Nate Silver say that?
