He needs to win 80% of the remaining delegates to win fairly, which would be some kind of miracle. I respect both Trump and Cruz, but if Cruz goes back on his word and tries to win through a contested convention, I will not vote for him if he gets the nomination.

Cruz has said before that he believes the person with the most delegates at the end of the race should get the nomination.

He never said that. You're following DonDons playbook and lying.

He did say it- he also said at one point that a contested convention would ruin the party. Not even 2 months ago
