The WSJ is now desperately hoping for a brokered convention in which the GOPe / RINO bigwigs can pick the Rube.

Otherwise, an outright win is going to an anti-establishment candidate.

The last nominee to not get a first-round convention vote win, and who later was elected president, was FDR in 1932.

Yup, The WSJ and NRO have lost it. We are down to Trump, Cruz, Carson and Rubio. Carson will fade shortly, nice guy but too many loose ends. At some point Rubio will get dissected by Cruz in a debate.

What I think we really want is a Trump/Cruz ticket. If Rubio is close to the nomination, the Tea Party will walk.

This might happen....while not trying to insult other states IA, NH, SC and most importantly FLORIDA!!!!!

Ive been saying to anyone that will listen here in S Florida the primary vote is vital. A lot of folks just pass on the primary....cant let that happen this year. Bush wins in Florida by 1 vote and he wins the nom.
