The wrong time? If you believe this has anything to do with the law you wouldn't need heavy political favoring to accomplish it. This is proof current Utah leadership at every level understands they have no LEGAL case, but are setting up pathways and millions of dollars for a fight even they know they have no chance at. Yeah....have I mentioned it's time to get rid of some of these career politicians, that continue to waste tax money. Anyway, let's not turn this into a political thing again, but into another public lands thread.

Gotta keep the Cruz out!

Pretty sure Cruz is a non-issue after this week.

Don't be so sure yet.

I think Cruz's only hope is a convention, I guess the Ron Paul rule makes it that you have to win at least 8 states to be considered in the convention. Unless, they change the rules it will be Cruz or Trump, unless Kasich makes some noise.

Trump has 661 and Cruz has 406

There are around 1,000 delegates left and Cruz has to win 800 of them to get the nomination outright. Giving their current margins in the regions. Since Cruz is not very good in the east or the rust belt or in liberal areas, his only chance is a brokered convention. Trump is not very good is really conservative areas, but a lot of those areas are low delegate counts.

Cruz's only chance is for Kasich to steal a couple states in the northeast and rust belt, then Cruz must sweep the west or come close to send it to a brokered convention.

There will be some delegates hopping from the Rubio campaign into other candidates, but Trump has just as much chance of landing them as Cruz - I mean they didn't pledge for either of them.
