I'm really looking forward to the next round of polls. It might already be too late for Cruz, but it might not be.

I think they'll go for a brokered or contested convention. Was reading the convention rules the other day. There are many ways to block Trump even if he has enough delegates. Which, with the former super delegates and the candidates who have their own elected delegates, they can give their delegates to anybody.

But the interesting thing was they can change rules (and do) each convention. One of the easiest is right now, even if a candidate has enough delegates, they MUST have won at least 8 states by having gotten at least 50 percent of the total vote. Trump hasn't done that in all he's won. Not to mention, the convention can change the amount of states. Such as from 8 states to get 50 percent, to 25 states where you had to get 50 percent.

Would not surprise me to see this happen.

Going to be interesting for sure.

Trump is threatening a riot if that happens.
I know some will say he's just predicting a riot..please. He knows damn well what he's doing. He's telling the goon faction to be ready to do damage, AND he wants those who oppose him to know it.

Throwing delegates from a former candidate to a remaining candidate is far from unheard of though. If Rubio and Kasich both ask their delegates to throw in with Cruz, he might could lead with just those out as of now.

I heard that later today about the "riots". You're right. He knows what he's doing. Just like that staged event in Chicago last Fri night. Problem for me is, I won't vote for Cruz either.

Let's face it, we're not going to have any prime choices come Nov.
