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.

It’s better than rushing in for a lie.
You’re fooling yourself if you still believe he has no ties to the Bush family and the establishment.
So you think you have find the one professional politician who doesn’t lie, do you?
Is this a liberal blog??? I don’t think anyone should jump on the Cruz Bandwagon until “the article” is resolved. For those of us old enough to vote when the Watergate Scandal began, this whole thing is very reminiscent, to a large degree. If Cruz takes legal action, then it will lend credence to his comments.
Is that you Jose Medellin ?
No.
I found one that was better than trump.
It wasn’t hard.
Cruz and Obama have much in common. Lawyers, Harvard, newbee Senators, neither are natural born citizens, both have non citizen parent (s), both with Wall Street connections, both insiders pretending to be outsiders.
And soon both will have served as us presidents.
How much money did trump donate to the Obama campaigns?
hey, whatever makes you feel better, man.
Trump is actually sacrificing for America. There is a huge difference between political elites like Obama claiming to serve America, while they run an agenda to serve globalism.
When I say “most pollsters” I am referring to the large polling outfits that have been around for many years and have a reputation to maintain. They are running a business, and accuracy is their stock in trade. They may be making incorrect assumptions which affect results, but they are legitimately trying to evaluate opinion, not shape it.
That being said, we are seeing a lot of agenda polling this year. There are candidates challenging the status quo, and the powers that be who want to protect their turf have plenty of money to spend on agenda polling. I look particularly askance at some of the smaller polling outfits that pull tricks like not bothering to weight results, etc. I’m also suspicious of any polls that have Fox News or the WSJ attached to them. They are obvious shills for open borders globalism.
Incidentally it’s not just Trump that they’re having trouble polling. Bernie has won the last five states the Dems have voted in, far surpassing his polling.
Cruz is the useful idiot the eGOP is using to get a convention where they steal it from Trump.
The sad thing is, Cruz is all for it. What a self-centered Harvard preppie.
Cruz supporters answer one question: Which state not even states, but state could Cruz win that Romney could not in a general election?
