Just saw this on Fox:
Trump nor Cruz will not be allowed to have the party’s ticket.
“These polls don’t matter.â€
So says former New Hampshire Republican governor Steve Merrill, a longtime and highly influential Republican power broker in the Granite State who during an interview with Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business network this morning declared all current polling in New Hampshire to be null and void, and the likelihood of anti-establishment GOP front-runners Donald Trump or Ted Cruz winning New Hampshire as unlikely.
And that’s not all he said…
This morning Governor Merrill was adamant that New Hampshire primary voters would choose an establishment candidate to represent them in the GOP nomination process. He specifically pointed to the campaigns of Jeb Bush and John Kasich as those he approved of.
He also appeared dismissive of the possibility that either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz would win New Hampshire.
Then he dropped a bombshell that clearly had Fox Business host Neil Cavuto a bit stunned.
Merrill indicated it would be a brokered Republican convention regardless, and from there a proper candidate would be nominated.
That’s why eventually it has to be a Trump/Cruz ticket, in that order. Together they have unbeatable power. Trump can win, but needs Cruz’s guidance and stability. Cruz can win the nomination, but I don’t know if he can win the general-—but even if he does, I’m convinced that he lacks Trump’s ability to go to the people to force change. We need ‘em both. Unfortunately, we need Cruz to lose several early primaries to make that happen.
I heard similar garbage while waiting for my CRAP COMCAST INTERNET to be restored, saying if there were four viable candidates it would be a brokered convention.
Of course they’re all just blowing it out their azzes at this point.

I'm already losing sleep worrying about this. Ran into these links:

You may say this is the wrong time and place to bring this up but I submit to everyone that with all this work, all the primaries, all the money. . and the GOP is going to pick Jeb and Kasich at the end? I just think it's a head's up for everyone to realize how sinister this is and for everyone to be informed and prepared as much as we can for this eventuality.
If Trump wins all the primaries except maybe Utah and Texas, then what?
Well, the good governor can go fascists on us if he wants...but if Trump or Cruz have enough delegates...and I predict they will, what this fascist wants will not matter.
Wow. Even if that’s true, it’s pretty outrageous for a governor to say.
