not sure either has the time to hope the other or Kasich drops out, and I'm not sure Cruz would drop unless he takes a serious beat down in TX, which is not likely. He's got plenty of money and plenty of ego to keep going.

And by then, it may not be mathematically impossible, but the lead will probably be insurmountable. One interesting take I saw said Cruz may have to spend so much time and money trying to save TX that his SEC strategy could fail if Trump and Rubio do much better than originally expected in the other Super Tuesday primaries.

Regardless, it will be entertaining to watch.
