They have modelled their path to the nomination on not just winning utah but winning big to scoop up every delegate and cut into Donald Trumps lead but dont call this an endorse president. Mitt romney isnt. Instead he says conservatives should unite behind cruz to force an open convention and that tells us two things, first, that the establishment hasnt fully settled necessarily on who its for, although it knows who its against and, second, how Serious Party leaders are that a contested convention is the most trump. Listen, in my book when someone says im voting for you and i encourage everyone else to vote for you, thats pretty darn good, and ill take that and take that happily.
