“Even Kasich is leading Cruz in these next states, Cruz is polling last.”
And all Trump needs to put Cruz completely out of contention is 37 more delegates! Once that occurs, look for the GOPe to turn on Ted, since he’s outlived his usefulness.
Yes, they will turn to Kasich with the intention of getting him the nomination in the convention.
There you go, thinking in simple terms again - if Cruz can't get a majority of delegates before the convention, then Trump will win the nomination, right? Wrong. All Cruz and Kasich need is about 250 delegates between the two of them to force an open convention. At that point, Cruz is by far the best positioned to win a contested convention.
