It is pretty obvious now that the likely outcome for the Republicans is a contested convention. If I'm not mistaken Cruz still hasn't reached the current threshold for getting on the ballot though. I think the current rule is that nominees need to win 8 states with 50% or more of the delegates. That convention rule will obviously be changed prior to the event because the RNC can do whatever they want.
It will be interesting to see what rules they establish for nominations.
