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.

The GOPe will not nominate Cruz. They are just using him to take out Trump so they can have a brokered convention and shove Jethro Bush down our throats, and Cruz is fine with that.
Cruz has zero chance against the Dems and the media. Mr. Debate champ will be crushed.
Stupid hypothetical polls are no reason to vote for a habitual liar globalist scumbag who has questionable relationships with his female associates.
I’d rather lose with someone who tells the truth and cares about America than vote for a slimeball lawyer who is going to have to give the shameful “I made a big mistake” speech with his wife at his side during the middle of a general election.
And that’s on top of everything else like his campaign’s shady conduct and known globalist open borders associations and endorsements.
Sorry.
Bwahahahaha, what a joke this story is. Ted has already said he would take Bill Clinton off the table. He is going to take the high road like John McCain and Mitt Romney. We all saw how well that turned out.
Lol.
And is that a bad thing ?? Why continue to support the Progressive light party?
Since Cruz has NO PRAYER of winning the nomination, I assume you’re wishing for a Brokered Convention, so that one of the ‘others’ can be the nominee...such as Linda, Jeb, Ryan, or Romney.
If so, then JUST SAY IT, show some class here. We hate HIDDEN AGENDAS here.
And is that a bad thing ?? Why continue to support the Progressive light party?
Cruz has been uniting enough over the years.
You have to be joking. ROTFLMAO!
I would not support this phony liar.
Robert Lee can take the last train back to Vicksburg.
Preach it!!!
Well, now we know why he is going to take Bill off the table, don’t we?!
The high road, huh Ted? In other words the Uniparty watches out for each other despite their different “party” labels.
Oh sure thing. /s
Hell with that snake. Cruz is an embarrassment to the faith and traitor to conservatism.
Anti-American gobalist Hillary or anti-American globalist Cruz. What to do, what to do, what to do? Write in Trump.
No thanks, if I wanted a Canadian Prime Minister of a nation that suppresses free speech, I would move to Canada
This is, hands down, the dumbest thing I’ve ever read here on FR.
