Well, most of the people were 100% sure that Cruz won't get majority of delegates before the conventions even weeks ago.
And 99.9% sure that he won't get plurality of delegates as well. Weeks ago that is.
So in that context it was strange to read your conclusion that it is only today when it is clear
I guess if we speak about official mathematical chances

Of course for this to happen Trump will have had to come up short of the 1,237 needed to win the nomination.

He could "give" them only on the second ballot though. Correct me if I am wrong. And "give" is slippery word, no Kasich delegate would be bound to vote for Cruz or anyone else. Of course naturally "anti Trump" sentiment would probably prevail.
