The Rush Scenario

Rush Limbaugh presented an intriguing, and very plausible, scenario for the Republican Convention. Assuming Donald Trump doesn't have enough delegates to win on the first ballot, which is very possible, that means a lot of delegates could jump to Ted Cruz on the second ballot. But what happens if Cruz doesn't have enough to win on the second ballot? This is where it becomes interesting:

Now, second ballot, if nobody gets 1,237, that's where the GOP and Cruz forces will split apart, and Cruz will find out what it's like to be Trump right now. That would be on the third ballot. Make no mistake, the Republican powers that be do not want Trump, and they don't want Cruz. They did want Jeb. They wouldn't mind Kasich. They are drooling over Paul Ryan. And they would take Romney again. So that's the immediate universe of people that they might be thinking could be their salvation.  

Who says Republicans aren't fun?
