Win votes that are upcoming is the answer. Second to that is to hope Ted gets third place in many of them, which I do believe he will.

How Trump can lock up GOP nomination before the convention

With a strategy like Reagan's: "We win, they lose!"

There’s more: Carson and Christie (and, I think Paul) all have unbound delegates available before the convention (something like 12-14) plus 16-18 unbound delegates from the Virgin Islands. There are also unannounced winners from ND, which according to Lewandowski gave Trump 3-6.

That’s potentially 36 more.

What it’s going to end up, seems to me is that Ted could become President of Colorado, but nothing higher, IMO.

A tactical masterpiece if one were playing a board game. A strategic disaster, however. He will reap the consequences in spades.

Trump is the only one with a path to the 1237, but it’s a difficult path. Considering the rigged system, it is very difficult.

Also they could eliminate Colorado from the delegates needed.

Considering the rigged system, it is very difficult.

If only Trump could get a higher percentage of delegates than he got the percentage of votes.

The system is rigged in favor of trump and the political establishment but I think Cruz can overcome this.

Right the system is rigged for Trump LOL. That is why Cruz was selected to get all CO votes! Any rigged part is for Cruz in hopes he could eliminates Trump then bye bye Cruz the RINO will be the nominee.
