A brokered convention goes to Jeb. Whatever it takes to get there.

Push comes to shove I will go over to Trump,, but Cruz is still my first choice. Im pretty sure most Cruz supporters would go to Trump over Democrat-light.

No, no I don’t think so.

Question will be: “Will Rubio and Bush delegates vote for Hillary?

Or will they vote for Sanders?”

Dream on. There isn’t going to be a brokered convention. There will be a clear winner.

There won’t be one. The system is set up to prevent that, which likely will help Trump wrap it up early.

No. Too much bad blood at this point. Especially after the p-word comment.

I don't see how Trump delegates can go any where but Cruz. I worry Cruz delegates will go to Rubio.

Trump voters come from across the political spectrum. I'd be surprised if all his delegates had Cruz as their second choice -- especially if they don't trust Cruz any more than the others on immigration.

A brokered convention -- if it happens -- would have candidates promising all kinds of things to delegates and delegates looking at some candidates with a "strange new respect" based on what they offer or what they're able to convince the delegates to believe.

Trump and some of his supporters seem to say Sanders should be #2. I think Jeb will get them.

There is a LOT of playing left in the game.

Let’s see the SEC.

Maybe you should tell Trump to stop attacking Cruz on anything but policy-doing otherwise doesn’t produce much goodwill with Cruz’s supporters like me, and that goes double for Trump supporters who aren’t civil!

I don’t think many Trump followers will shift to Cruz. This article reflects my observations of Trump fans in real life: Trump people tend to be former Democrats, who I would guess would most likely shift to Rubio, or Bush, or pretty much anyone but Cruz.

If Trump gets 900 votes, Cruz gets 800 votes, and Rubio gets 500 votes, Trump can make a deal with Rubio for the VP spot. Cruz is promised AG as consolation prize.

It'll come down to the ultimate political question:
"What's in it for me?"
