It is. Trump has staying power. Plus the GOPe is counting on vote splitting between conservatives for Trump and conservatives for Cruz to get their pretty boy in.
There will be a brief wait and see period to determine where Carson's supporters go before this strategy becomes clear. I'm guessing there will be about a 60%/40% split between Rubio and Cruz. Dr. Carson is a nice fellow, but most of his supporters are not too politically savvy. Many of them are turned off by Trump's straight rhetoric even if they agree with it.
Not if Cruz/Trump can settle on whose whose VP /s
Still, I get NO idea why our FRiends care whom has the seat; it’s not as if the Prez should have ANY authority anyway. Hell, it’s not like any living Prez has sat down to hammer out a treaty themselves...they only SIGN the end product (and take the spotlight). Bully pulpit, they would BOTH be good. Else, just a figurehead.
Yeah, yeah, when we were a Republic.....
