Cruz wins North Dakota

Wow north dakota ! He got the 5 people to vote for him!

Here's a talking point, why the fuck do we have 2 Dakotas ? 4 senators yet DC has none representing them .
 
If Cruz wins WI and CA, yeah, a brokered convention, and someone other than Cruz or Trump as the nominee.
 
There is going to be a brokered convention one way or another. Neither Trump nor Cruz have a modicum of electability, and this way the party can have it's "moral high-ground"
 
Maybe the GOP should let them literally fight for it. That could be very interesting. :popcorn:
 
Good for him, so brokered convention?
A brokered convention means president Hillary, either Donald is the republican nominee or he runs as an independent and no republican can get enough votes. So pray for Donald to win and be nominated.
 

It's really simple, the race is over when someone gets 1237 delegates, your little chart doesn't show that happening.
Obviously. It's an article about how it's not possible for Cruz to get there.

If Trump doesn't get the nod, be ready for a Romney/Ryan redux

Under current rules a person has to win in 8 States to even be nominated, that rule limits it to two, Trump and Cruz. Why do you think Cruz is pushing so many of his delegates to the rules committee, he doesn't want that rule changed.

There's like 100 people involved in the rule making. Trump will go into the convention with the popular vote and the most delegates. If the rules committee goes into their meeting under the premise that the popular vote and delegate count are irrelevant so they can stick it to Trump, what makes you think they would turn to Cruz? Cruz has done nothing but embarrass the GOP, and has accomplished absolutely nothing as a Senator. If the establishment picks the nuclear option, they'll want to go down with their own guy.

Trump will be running 3rd party anyways so it doesn't actually matter.

Donald is the only one losing to Hillary. So not going to pray for the billionaire despot. At least not to win

The convention isn't till July 18-21, that would be too late for anyone to get on the ballot for the general election, most States require a person to qualify 90 days out. That would leave about 2 weeks to gather the signatures and clear challenges to get the petitions certified. Not likely to happen.

They'll know the primary results well before then. And that's all that matters. The establishment will have it all planned out for a scenario where Trump doesn't win outright.

Good grief get with the program.
 
Even if Trump wins CA and NY, he still need 200-300 delegates.

Wisconsin is key due to its chunks of delegates. However, Trump losing there only makes winning the nomination on the first round a wee bit harder.

Wisconsin is absolutely not key. Trump is destroying Cruz in most of the remaining primary states' polls.

Sure. Not important at all:)
