Right, Cruz started the whole thing because he is so hopelessly far behind, but Trump is the one who blew up the bridge. And you think Cruz can win over 800 delegates?

All Cruz has to do is deny Trump a majority of delegates on the first ballot. If Trump is still polling very poorly in a general election against Hillary Clinton, there is no way that he will be the nominee. A candidate with a 70%+ negative rating among women is just not going to get it done in the general election.

BTW, have you noticed how often Trump repeats the lie that polls show that he would easily beat Hillary? If you doubt that he is lying, just check the RCP list of polls. Clinton has led Trump in the last 11 polls and she has led him in 26 of the past 28 polls. In the two polls in which he led out of 28, his lead was within the margin of error. The last poll that showed Trump ahead was taken in mid February. Why do you think he lies so much about indisputable facts? The RCP average of recent polls has Clinton up by 11 points over Trump and the trend does not look good for him.

Cruz has led Trump in a hypothetical head to head match up consistently. As pledged delegates are released after the first ballot, more will abandon a candidate with no chance to win the general than will join his flock. Trump is just trying to run out the clock but if he does not lock up the nomination before the convention, he is toast, IMO.

Trump's problems are self inflicted. Hopefully, you will regain your objectivity at some point and realize that the long list of people who Trump has slimed during this campaign have done nothing to deserve his childish insults. Megyn Kelly had Trump pegged before the first debate. Trump seems to prefer attacking women over men. Maybe he has some unresolved mommy issues.

I am still not convinced that Trump is not running to destroy Republicans' chances of beating Hillary Clinton. If that was his goal, he is succeeding beyond Hillary's wildest dreams.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary.
