Not actually but keep thinking that way
So what Cruz really wants is a brokered convention
What Cruz wants is to be no lower than 2nd place. With Trumps negatives so low right now, we will have no idea of his true national strength for awhile. If his negatives begin to drop —I think these are false indicators—then both Kasich and Cruz may make difference decisions about the value of the VP. If either guesses Trump will lose, then they will start looking to 2020. Kasich is now very strong in OHIO. He can afford to wait to.
