Trump and Cruz both disagree with you. They are working to secure delegates who are not going let them vote for a GOPe stooge. When I see Trump and Cruz give up that effort then I will agree with you. Right now they are both hard after securing loyal delegates. You apparently believe that is a hopeless cause. I don't. Trump doesn't. Neither does Cruz.
No, I didn’t say it’s hopeless and no, neither should give up yet. Cruz, well, it will be obvious after one or two more primaries. But Trump could go with 1150 or so and still have a real shot at securing the difference. The reality is, if your vote means a potential job in government or an appointment, you get pretty flexible in a hurry.
