I see the Trumpsters have no idea what a contested convention is. Trump himself seems to understand that a contested convention will be FACT if he doesn’t get to 1,237.

So, if Trump only has say 1,100 delegates going into the convention and Cruz has 1,000 the battle is just beginning over who the other delegates (372) will be supporting. This is what conventions are for figuring out.

Now I admit, if Trump is sitting at 1236 and doesn’t get the nomination it would be ridiculous (and unlikely since he only needs to flip one delegate to get there).

Maybe the Trumpsters are getting this confused with a brokered convention, which would basically wipe away all the primary results. This is the screw job the establishment is planning to get Kasich or Romney in.

Or maybe they understand that Cruz is “fine with contested convention” because it’s a near certainty he won’t make it to 1237.
