C. Todd suggested the gop may want the D to run as an Indep

if Cruz is in second place come convention time. If, as is expected, polls show neither could win in a general election, and either could presage a Dem landslide in the congress as well ..... then the establishment could stop one, but not both, from being the nominee.

By combining the super delegates along with those won by all other establishment candidates it would put Cruz over the top. If the Donald ran as an indep, gop turnout for congressional elections would dwarf dem turnout.

Devious. LOL

Trump running independent would pull about 10% of the vote. Same low information voters who support the Tea Party
Same 10% that supported rich guy Ross Perot in 1992 and ensured a victory for Bill Clinton

Yes, but it would also guarantee the gop holds both the senate and house, which is the point. The establishment could be happy with that AND Hillary as potus.
