A Trump nomination will be disastrous for the Republican Party. That’s because he won’t win against Hillary Clinton, despite her email and Benghazi scandals.
The only way to stop Donald Trump is for the Republicans to unite behind Ted Cruz. John Kasich has no chance winning the nomination. A vote for him is effectively a vote for Trump. Even if the convention is deadlocked with nobody getting 1,237 delegates, it is ridiculous for Kasich to win the nomination.
He is fourth in the delegate count behind Trump, Cruz and Rubio. If he is somehow nominated, the Trump and Cruz supporters will be very angry and won’t show up at the voting booth, come November.
So why is Kasich staying on when he is trailing the delegate count behind Marco Rubio who has dropped out? One possibility is that he is delusional. Or perhaps, he is hoping either Trump or Cruz will offer him the Vice President slot. Kasich splits the anti-Trump votes. So a vote for Kasich is effectively a vote for Trump. A vote for Trump is effectively a vote for Clinton.
In the latest polls, Clinton beats Trump by 11%. But she beats Cruz by only 2%. 2% is within the margin of error. If Kasich cares for his party and for his country, he must stop dreaming that he can somehow prevail. He must drop out and he has to do it before the Wisconsin Primary. Wisconsin is quite close to Ohio, Kasich’s home state. Thus Kasich has a home advantage and will divert badly needed votes from Cruz. If Trump wins Wisconsin, it's hard to see how Cruz can win the North Eastern states where Trump has a home ground advantage.
There is more at stake than just the Presidency. Trump’s brand is toxic. He will poison the Republican brand. With him as the Republican Presidential nominee, the Senate could flip to the Democrats. At stake is also control of the Supreme Court for the next President could be appointing the next three Supreme Court judges.
The world is aflame with ISIS attacking US allies and the US. The US is in debt to the tune of $19 trillion. A Clinton Presidency will only continue the pain of the last seven years. There is substantially no difference between her policies and that of President Barack Obama’s.
At this stage, only a Cruz nomination can have a realistic hope of stopping Clinton. Trump has benefitted from a friendly news media that gave him constant coverage. The left wing news media has not reported much of Trump’s negatives. My suspicion is that they are deliberately holding their fire to help Trump win the Nomination, so that Clinton will have an easy target in the General Election.

I hope you enjoy waiting, because you are going to continue to wait.
File in line behind a general election loser. The GOP - “it’s who we are!”
We don’t need another JKF.
Cruz is a reprobate and a Canadian. Unfit for Duty. He is easily blackmailed.
The wait continues. Cruz is a Bush errand boy who has all the bad character flaws of Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. Yeah, is that the “next Reagan” you’ve been waiting for? Pathetic.
Very interesting video. Bttt!
The GOPe ONLY cares about their money. They have zero consideration of our goals, wants, needs or most especially, trimming government which would first hurt their family members.
So, yep, defeating Trump is their first concern - losing the White House to Hillary will be the easy part once he's out of the way.
As for the article's topic, that Cruz somehow has some magic formula to defeat Hillary - please explain how he can't win against Trump yet wins against Hillary? Tell me how he flips Bernie voters into Cruz voters?
Good luck with that.
Decision 2016 has come down to picking between: a Canadian, a capitalist, a communist and a Clinton.
"Interesting times"...in a bizarre, alternate universe sort of way.
Why on earth would I support a guy whose won 3 primaries and lies easier then any democrat. No thanks!
Okay Robert H. Lee
I'll be back to haunt you after the election.
Fool! He forgot to mention global warming will get worse if Trump's nominated! And meteors will rain down from the sky!
The only comparison between Reagan and Cruz is that they both needed their diapers changed at 2 years old. Absolutely embarrassed that you compare Reagan to that sleazy liar Cruz. Disgusting. On Easter now less. You are absolutely a failure!
Get over your rotten self.
A Cruz nomination will be devastating as the democrats will surely find the “Mistress” proof and Cruz will be taken out. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Cruz has too many liabilities to risk giving him the nomination. The junk yard dogs in the DemonRAT syndicate will tear him apart in a pack feed. Take that to the bank.
Maybe he was referring to Ronald Prescott Reagan (AKA Ron Reagan JR) instead of the Gipper.
In that case I agree with him.
I second that statement.
True. Lol.
