Yo, I give Trump Props? He tried in his arrogant way, but his days are numbered? I say vote for Ted Cruz, and save yourself the anguish in the end!!!
The Behind-the-Scenes Delegate Fight to Stop Donald Trump
by BENJY SARLIN and JANE C. TIMM
The Republican race, fought until now in high-profile state contests and made-for-TV debates, is turning into a shadow war.
Donald Trump's dominant delegate lead means that neither Sen. Ted Cruz nor Ohio Gov. John Kasich can realistically win the nomination outright. But the split in the party also means Trump will have a tough time securing the 1,237 delegates needed to win as well, possibly falling just short of his goal.
If no one hits the magic number, there will be a contested convention in Cleveland this July, meaning the vast majority of delegates eventually would be allowed to vote for anyone they choose.
Making matters more difficult for Trump, candidates rarely choose their own delegates. Instead, in 44 states there's a patchwork selection process across local and statewide conventions that are sometimes controlled by established party leaders.
