In 2012, this Committee arbitrarily removed duly elected Ron Paul delegates and replaced them with establishment Republicans. This is where Paul Manafort (Trump’s convention advisor) will earn his pay. If the establishment was seen to be pushing a third candidate at the RNC you could expect the Credentials Committee, dominated by Trump and Cruz, to start replacing delegates with their own. They could even bleed the establishment from the Rules Committee...
So if the race is down to Trump and Cruz, which both men want, how does Trump win in the growing face of the “never Trump” movement?
Let’s start with money. Trump was outspent 10-1 in Wisconsin. At some point he can start to spend money to defend himself.
The next contest is in New York. With all the attention given to Trump’s insults you may have forgotten that Ted Cruz had one of his own, denigrating “New York values” in a national debate...
Just as there is power in sequential Primary-Caucus wins, history shows that there are advantages to having the most delegates going into a convention. If Cruz needs 500 more delegates to win and Trump only needs 200, he will have a huge advantage...

Excellent analysis. This is what’s needed, not all the BS running through FR at this juncture.
Wonder if @SenTedCruz will repeat #NewYorkValues crack now he's begging for #NY votes? Bet he's distant 3rd to @JohnKasich&@realDonaldTrump— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) April 7, 2016
This seems to be same blog writing that Cruz probably committed felony by colluding with super pacs. Oh well.
Cruz fundraiser heard toeing donations rule
A campaign official asked for unlimited contributions to a super PAC.

What’s your point? Law Newz isn’t on the list cited in your link.
We have enough click bait on FR as it is.
There is no point except distraction, distortion, obfuscating, prevaricating etc...
They’ve been fully exposed.
And if, after all the counting is done, Trump wins it, so be it...we move on to the general election from there.
I was going to post this today but you beat me to it. ;-)
Oh well what?

Most likely, he will get the nomination, after some GOP shenanigans.
Most likely, he will lose to Hillary in November.
Most likely, if he does pull out a miracle win, he will forget every Conservative promise (other than the Wall, and will fail on the Wall when he fails to get Mexico to pay for it).
In every other scenario, Hillary wins, and/or the GOPe nominates someone the GOP voters didn't vote for... or... my pipe-dream, Cruz pulls it out at the end, or in the convention as the anti-Trump, and beats Hillary in the General (he polls better against her than Trump, and Cruz tops his polling in most states, while Trump falls short of his polling numbers in most states)...
but that isn't the most likely scenario.
Ted has no chance winning the general against anyone at all
There is absolutely no way that he can win in Florida
Even my cat would poll more votes.
And without Florida any dem will beat anyone at all
I’m sure my toe jam wouldn’t vote for you with the we can’t win without selling out our principles attitude.
In the Lawnewz comments I see multiple instances of the standard line that Trump is unelectable since 70 - 80 % of women hate him and won’t vote Trump , if that’s true so be it.
On the flip side ,you never hear about how Clinton polls with men ..It’s hard to believe that any self respecting man that still have a pair would actually vote for her ..
