They are deciding today. So far Cruz is 12 for 12. His goal is to take all 37 and he may do it with a superior organization. This could be a harbinger of things to come in Cleveland as the 37 delegates could well be the difference that keeps Trump from 1237. Also, the way these Republicans are rejecting Trump for Cruz may be just what happens after the first ballot in Cleveland. There does not seem to be a lot of love for the Donald among the party activists.

Clearly the Trump shine is beginning to dull. I also don't see him with enough votes and cannot believe he will come out on top at a brokered convention. I also wonder if the RNC will change the rules to allow Kasich a chance to win as well as a compromise candidate.

I wonder that myself. That would really spotlight the hypocrisy of the GOP establishment, since the rule was instituted to keep Ron Paul out of the Convention, so if they change the rules to let Kasich in, they are basically admitting their scurrilous behavior.

No, Cruz EARNS them through hard work. Work Trump doesn't even understand, so he whines about it like a 2 year old.

Yeah, it sure is a surprise that the establishment of the RNC isn't very supportive of Trump.

Quite the about face from when they were all behind him isn't it?

Yup! This will make the last 5 states Cruz has won the delegates in once he takes CO! I said last week that it was the beginning of the end for Trump once Cruz wins WI, which he did. Only a matter of time. This is why you build a strong team and ground game rather than consulting with yourself and relying on the media. Trump is a rookie trying to play with the pros. He's getting schooled in the "art of the deal"

HAHAHA!! Well, if political party's aren't known for "scurrilous behavior", I don't know who is. The dems and gop invented the term.

This is the most hysterical post I've ever read.

Let's see how Teddy Ballgame does in the Northeast. Streak of 5 little states - history.

And you're right - it's only a matter of time before Ted folds like a cheap suit.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. This is yet another example of Cruz outmaneuvering Trump in the category that matters most in the end: delegates. Trump thought his star power and celebrity name recognition would be enough to carry him through to Cleveland - while this may have been true in the early going, the reality of old-fashioned politics is setting in again.
