If I understand this correctly, in Georgia, the delegates won by Trump in the primary are still bound to him on the first ballot at Cleveland. The GOPee is trying to select delegates that will vote anti-Trump on the second ballot.

Trump and Manafort believe the nomination will be decided on the first ballot (actually on June 7th).

What Cruz is relying on is the Jeb "Win by Losing" plan of losing the primaries/caucuses but winning the nomination by having the GOPe stack the delegate deck for vote after the first ballot.

It isn't that Cruz has a good ground game. It's that the GOPee has planned this "Win by Losing" strategy from the get-go. Cruz is merely their last ditch candidate.

By that logic, and I agree with it, it isn't fair to either credit Cruz with a great ground game or to blame him for rigging the ground game. He's the beneficiary of a larger game.

What some call "ground game", others call "support of the GOP Establishment organization".

‘It isn’t that Cruz has a good ground game. It’s that the GOPee has planned this “Win by Losing” strategy from the get-go. Cruz is merely their last ditch candidate.’

I think there’s a ring of truth in that thinking.

And when you factor in the way Romney sabotaged races, it really stinks.
