Wall Street Journal: “Mr. Cruz took all 40 of Utah’s delegates, yet his already steep path to the nomination outside of a contested convention became even rockier. He must win 85% of the outstanding delegates—a task akin to winning a division in Major League Baseball after being 25 games out of first place on Labor Day—when there are only about 30 games left in the season.”

1. The repukes have their own version of superdelegates

they call them something else, but the principle is the same.

2. The establishment will draft Paul Ryan.

He will be the presidential candidate for the GOP 2016.

Heard it here first.

3. The GOP isn't planning on Cruz winning. They want to anoint someone after stopping Trump.

Instead of "Cruz needs 85% of delegates to gain the nomination" the GOP is obsessed with, "Ok, Trump needs 498 of the remaining 944. Stop him from getting to 1237. Then we get to pick who we want." I've been reading that the Cruz campaign has been targeting delegates in an attempt to sway their vote after the first ballot at the convention. Most of them have to vote for Trump if he won the state but after that first ballot most of them can choose whomever they wish. That is the Cruz plan.

I really hope Trump steamrolls over the GOP and secures the nomination. I dislike the blatant scheming and plotting. The Republican party deserves all the destruction that will come.
