I think he'd need to win all the winner-take-all states, plus about 2/3 of the rest to do it. -- nm - mafic Apr 5, 19:02
Doubtful. I think his goal is to keep Donald around the 1100-1150 mark. Cruz would need 732 of the remaining 900. -- nm* - Strongbad Apr 5, 18:43
in theory, i think so. but that's not going to happen. what is likely to happen is that he'll win just enough to keep Trump from crossing the outright - the brain Apr 5, 18:42 2
- If Cruz comes close, Trump has less of a case for "they should give it to me anyway". - Mop Apr 5, 18:44 1
  - close doesn't mean jack squat for either of them. the party will pick whomever they want if nobody has 1,237 -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 18:48
