If you know how the process works... Cruz and Kasich will pick up some delegates on the second and third ballots. And Trump will lose some. But Cruz or Kasich won't be close to 1237 either.
4th ballot, they will run from Cruz and Trump. Say hello to a Haley/Rubio ticket.
Interesting article, along the same lines as Nate Silver's It's probably first ballot or bust for Donald Trump at the GOP Convention:
Trump is increasingly having to face the reality that he stands a great chance of losing the nomination if he enters the convention with anything less than a clear majority of delegates. I think it's beginning to dawn on him that they won't change the rules just to prevent his followers from throwing a hissy fit.
Hence the request for Open Carry at the convention . . . .

It's the fresh faces the GOP says we deserve.
Really? Kasich seems like exactly the kind of Republican that the establishment would find perfect (well, besides all the compassion for the poor non-sense). And he can definitely beat Hillary, but for the fact that Trump supporters would not vote for the Republican nominee at that point.
Dexter has to support Trump as the best way to put someone out of the picture is to be silent about them. For instance, look at how few threads there have been on Cruz and look at how many delegates he has.
I think the deal has been made and everyone is more or less happy with it. Throw Cruz under the bus, where he belongs and run Trump/Kasich. I'd vote that ticket as would many others.
I think most of the opposition right now is coming from Hillary's camp, the Bush-Clinton dynasty.

Cruz supporters wouldn't vote Kasich either. That's over 75% of Republican voters between Trump/Cruz.
The GOP doesn't really like Kasich much either. Nikki Haley and Rubio - apple of their eyes.
When voters scream Trump or Cruz, the GOP hears Haley/Rubio. They can decide for us.
I'm right with ya ... if Trump is anywhere near 1,237 and gets denied, there is no GOP party in my eyes and I'll follow Trump as an Independent. If he chooses not to run, chalk one up for HRC/Bernie and none of the GOPers on my ballot will get a vote.
Respecting the will of the people is obviously not in their game plan.
