It is not an open primary — registered Republicans only.

This should help Sen Cruz.

I think there is a real possibility that no one gets to 1237 and then it's going to be a question of who can get there on the 2nd or 3rd ballot. A contested convention favors Sen Cruz, after all the vitriol from Trump I can't imagine anyone crossing over to join him after the 1st ballot.

“A contested convention favors Sen Cruz,”

I don’t think so.

I think Cruz doesn’t have the snowball’s chance in you-know-where to get the R nomination. The GOPe is using him to try to stop Trump, but they will not let him be the nominee either.

Reality and all that matters.

Trump will have 1100-1300 delegates, next closest is Cruz with 700-800, GoPe is not suicidal, Trump wins on the first ballot if needed, GoPe to negotiate for VP.

Cruz is out. Guaranteed.

This race was over after Trump’s beat down of Cruz in Fl and Oh, 1,000,000(margin of Trump over Cruz) pissed off R voters in those 2 states alone, if Trump is booted. Gope wants to hold on to Senate and House seats.
