Yeah, I'd definitely bet on Cruz winning right now. Certainly better odds than Trump. I can see Cruz get close to a majority of delegates loyal to him. But if he's short by a few hundred, with a lot of the balance being party loyalists, then it's interesting...
What if we see something like 1000 Cruz loyalists, 600 Trump loyalists, 300 Kasich loyalists, and 500 party loyalists? The establishment might first see if they can get enough weight behind Kasich to turn this around, and only if that fails, use Cruz as a fallback plan.
