Does Trump's 5 State sweep end a possible Cruz Pres candidacy?

CNN projects @realDonaldTrump wins Delaware GOP primary for a sweep of all five states

1. While mathematically eliminated, Cruz will continue defense.

With the goal to block a first round win for trump. Thereafter the delegates are released and Cruz had been working to send supporters of his as delegates.

3. Thanks. I haven't followed the Repub primary delegate distribution

So Cruz is pulling a Bernie now, with chasing down SD's?

[morningfog]

5. No SDs on repub side.

But since there were several candidates to secure pledged delegates, trump could still be blocked from hitting 1237 on the first vote.

7. Yes, I meant to say Cruz is chasing down Repub SD's the same way

Bernie is chasing down Dem SD's.

Both disgusting sleazy tactics

8. In many

states the GOP are stacking the delegates with Cruz supporters. Cruz will stay in to block Trump from an outright victory.

The first round they have to vote as allocated. If Trump does not get 51%, the delegates are released to vote as they want. Cruz is hoping to win this way. The GOP convention is going to be a bloodbath if Trump can not win outright.

4. Exactly, that's the plan

I'm hoping for a major bloodbath that makes the red wedding look mild.

2. No

I still bet trump cones up short and they screw him at the convention. Best for us!

6. Either Trump wins the nom, which is great for us.

Or he doesn't, and the ensuing bloodbath at the convention will be great for us.

9. Well then lets hope for a Convention bloodbath, bigger the better!

10. Yes

I think Republicans will fall in line, no matter how much they dislike Trump.
