That's assuming the people involved are rational actors.

But the thing is, Trump is winning, but there is a big question mark as to whether he'll get the required delegates for a lock. If Trump is 1 delegate short, it opens him up to being ratfucked. By destroying Cruz--even if it turns out to be false, this still hurts him in the short term--Trump's margin is assured.

I mean, he could still be ratfucked by a rule change, but that'll be an even harder sell to the base if they do that.

No. If he goes into the convention with a large delegate lead--like the one he has now--you're never, EVER going to sell another nominee to Trump supporters. He would have to literally win no more delegates to be ruled out as at least a powerbroker at the convention, and with New York, Pennsylvania, and California still to cast their votes I'd be very surprised if he didn't go to Cleveland with at least 1,000 delegates. With that kind of lead it's going to be virtually impossible to sell to his supporters that he shouldn't be the nominee.

new theory based on today's Blessed events: cruz admits the affairs, drops out unofficially while propping Heidi into the candidacy. "A vote for Ted is a vote for Heidi" is the new slogan. It's a whole new layer of "Ma" and "Pa" Ferguson in old TX politics.

The right has, at various points, tried to paint her as a brain-damaged lying murderous lesbian witch, and none of it stuck, what's Donald Trump going to do?

He dunked Jeb Bush's head in a toilet for six months and got Jeb to high five him after refusing to apologize to Jeb's wife, gave Marco Rubio PTSD about drinking water in public and got him to crack a dick joke on stage, and managed to bait Ted Cruz into talking about how much he loves his wife on national TV less than 12 hours before a giant sex scandal broke, but sure, he probably can't hit Hillary any more effectively than Newt Gingrich or Trey Gowdy.

Ted Cruz being a foot fetishist would make a whole bunch of things in the world make a whole bunch more sense.

i dont believe there is any feasible way for trump to win a primary. if he did it would signal absolutely calamitous things for the GOP.

for instance, it would indicate that the party has lost its grip on its own systems to such an extent that a candidate who is, as you said, a comedy option on his best day could take even a single state in the nomination process.

I want you to make a prediction about what it indicates and signals if Trump wins the general. We'll see if your predictive abilities hold.

Also, going back through the posts from when Trump first joined the race is wonderful, I recommend everyone do it.

The thing is, every bit of dirt that exists about Hillary Clinton has been dug up and thrown at her and none of it stuck. Almost anything Trump can say about her is old news.

While it's certainly possible, saying that Trump will destroy Hillary Clinton because he wrecked Bush/Rubio/Cruz is like saying a 10-year-old should go pro because he knocked the poo poo out of another kid in Pee-Wee football.
