The strategy is to help Ted Cruz take as many delegates away from Trump so it'll be an open convention. Once that happens, sneak Paul Ryan in. They can change the rules to nominate anyone they want, and they sure as fuck don't want Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. In the long list of sneaky, underhanded shit Republicans have done, this wouldn't even rank as slightly nefarious. I can see why they would do it, as they watch Donald Trump unravel their façade of seeming to care about the poor or non-white voters -- which has already been failing miserably because they can't even fake compassion or empathy.

The problem with doing that is that it will likely cause Trump to run as an independent. if he does that it pretty much guarantees Hillary the win.
The only way they would do this is if they could get Trump to guarantee not to run as a third party independent.
