Kasich is NOT trying to “save” the GOP, he is doing the bidding of the GOPe, who already agreed to promote a Hillary presidency.

That’s excellent scenario.

I looked that delegate count and you’re analysis is pretty good.

I figure that all he has to do is win any of the following states (winner take all):

Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana.

If Trump wins any one of the above, it’s over he wins.

I could care less who between ted or Cruz who is the president or vice president all I no is that we cant have Hillary or Sanders. at this point with the age of the supreme court members if we don’t have the presidency it will mean the end of freedom of speech and democracy. if you let the the democratic party pick are leader I feel that a lot of freedoms we value will disappear....when the democratic party label conservative as fascist they are projecting on to republicans the state of there own political party.

So to all Cruz supporters out there if you lose don’t destroy the party and to trump who I feel at this point probably has the nomination......MEND fences.....we cant be divided... we have a big handicap in politics we actually have standards of behavior Hillary does not and those that support her could care less about standards of behavior as long as they get what they want. this election is ours to lose.

He’s also leading in Indiana which is 50ish and have to assume he’d do well in NJ given NY, PA, CT results which is also 50ish.

I also think if he gets over 25 delegates in IN, it’s over.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like Trump will easily get to 1237.

We’ll see what the slimball rinos have up their douchebag sleeves, changing the number of delegates, or disqualifying certain delegates, is going to be the next thing they try.

"Lyin Ted" and KASICK are... nothing but a couple of GOPe establishment thieves and GOPe party hacks!

May Almighty God protect and preserve Mr. Trump (and his entire extended family) from these two vile men, the GOPe, all who are aligned against him and from all of their nefarious machinations, plots and collusion. And may ALL of the following take place within their own lives and so called "campaigns", in Jesus name, amen!

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. (Psalm 7:15)

Let destruction come upon him unawares, And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall. (Psalm 35:8)

They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah. (Psalm 57:6)

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I pass by safely. (Psalm 141:10)

It’s the only way for Kasich to win...where he will proceed to lose the election in a landslide.

If Trump loses next Tuesday then Cruz will win on the second ballot because Trump was too late learning the game. So I guess a 4th party candidate is not in the cards.

I am not convention savvy. Is there a difference between an open convention and a contested convention?

The last time I actually watched a convention that I even recall, was a democratic convention back many years ago when Ted Kennedy was running, and he didn’t win at the convention.

All I remember of it...we had company at the time so my attention was on other things...was a bunch of speeches, and I remember thinking that when Ted gave his concession speech if he’d only given it at the beginning, he’d of won that convention. It was an excellent speech.

So, because of my line of work, I didn’t get to see Republican conventions, or else hubbie was into watching something else and had a death grip on the remote. You all know how THAT is lol!

Anyway, I don’t know the difference between what types of conventions exist for Republican nominees.

Now I get to have the death grip on the remote, or play on the pc as my lil ole heart desires. So I’m into learning!

NEVER cRuz for SCOTUS.

Read the Cruz testimony for the Supreme Court and the rest of the Cruz record - he is a consistent conservative with a long track record of supporting the Constitution as written. Whether or not you like the guy as a person is far less important than whether or not he will protect our God-given rights.
