If Trump doesn't have 1237, he's screwed.

As will be the Republican Party... No reason to mar a stellar record of
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I liked a close family member's observation that Trump as candidate for
POTUS could be the thing that saves the GOP - from themselves.

The rationale being that if Trump is put up for POTUS, the GOP will go
down in flames so badly that even the people at the top who have been so
out of touch since Reagan's presidency will wake up and smell the
coffee.... sort of like an alcoholic who has to hit rock bottom before
they realize something is wrong and seeks to remedy it.

For my money, that same scenario holds true if Cruz gets the
nomination.... seems to me like the guy is just too unlikable to the
general public and too disliked in Washington. Policy issues aside,
the guy comes across to me as being just plain mean.....

Maybe I'm the only one - but if not....

I think you're the exception, because polls for months have shown
that Cruz is even in a match up with Clinton, while Trump loses
by 10 points.
