Here we go - it’s the next Talking Point from the elites. Watch for this meme to pop up everywhere.

LOL! Same old, same old, establishment good old boys club, right Margie? Cruz and Trump are rocking the politicians’ boat in the District of Corruption.

Sounds of desperation. The last straw. Anything but, allowing the voice of the people to be heard.

Trump's...disdain — shared by his followers — for policy and a knack for memorable slogans.

I voted for Trump in our state primary. Yet I do not have a disdain for policy. Quite the contrary. As far as slogans, I will let others judge. But why does this commentator think that insulting a large group of voters will help get her message across?

Once the drip, drip, drip of the NE story turns into a full flowing river, Cruz will be out. 'They' have no one else to go with but Kasich.

These two will be propped up as long as possible to prevent Trump from getting to 1237. Then, on the second vote at convention, our nominee (whom nobody has cast a vote for) will be named. Get ready for a Bush/Walker ticket.

That’s what I’m thinking. Cruz’s numbers must have suffered.

That didn’t take as long as I thought it would. Carlson, of Time, Bloomberg, CNN, the LA Times and the New Republic, is an insider’s insider. I thought the establishment would at least wait until WI was over to start this drumbeat.

I'm not sure Kasich even qualifies as a RINO. From what I've seen he may be to the left of Madam Benghazi, The Whore of Babylon - he's a dem who runs as a pubbie.

Kasich is farther left than Trump is.

More proof that the Political Opinion Makers learned exactly the wrong lessons from the Romney debacle.

The Republican/Conservative voters do not want another Socialist Lite presidential candidate.

We will not go to the polls for another Socialist Lite Republican. We will not volunteer for their campaign. We will not make the phone calls or put up campaign signs.

We are not inspired to spend our time supporting another presidential candidate that will continue the growth of government and continue the policies that are destroying our country.

I hate Cruz, but this is yet another retarded article which asserts that current favorability/unfavorability ratings are the sole determination of how electable a candidate is. Hillary Clinton has largely been pretty quiet this campaign season; the only person who has bothered to extensively crticize her so far has been the inept Bernie Sanders, because the GOP candidates are busy with each other and the media knows that giving Hillary attention will have her approval ratings start sinking like a rock.

I have said on this forum that I would not stay home in November.

With Kasich as the nominee, I don’t know if I could stand by that position.

Kasich has described himself as a compromise between Bernie and Hillary! He is a liberal, and I don’t vote for those.

Not interested in “stopping” anyone, PERIOD!
I am interested in voting FOR someone because they have an intelligent and sound plan to,improve our economy, our healthcare, and our National security.
Give me YOUR plan, why I should vote for YOU, not what is wrong with your opponent or their plan.
I’m a big boy I can decide for myself.

They are shooting for Kacish/Rubio. The strongest ticket would have beenTrump/Cruz but that boat has left, hit the shoals and sunk.

If John Kasich is the answer, it was a stupid question.

I wouldn’t bet against a Trump/Cruz ticket.

The saying Politics makes strange bedfellows is as true today as it was 100 years ago.
