From looking at the post-debate snap polls, I can't really tell. Any insights?
Rubio is already weak in Florida so I don't think Kasich's performance sways much there.
Kasich's the only one that Trump hasn't launched a barrage of childish personal attacks against yet (mainly because Kasich hasn't presented a threat), so there may be an opening for VP.
It would be in Kasich's best interest to accept any such offer.
That’s going to be my bet.
Looks like a bad night for the Grim Booger.
Kasichs positions on some serious issues run counter to Trumps.I don’t think Trump will pick him especially if Trump sees himself taking Ohio.
Booger lost the debate.
Because he’s that little, twitchy, sweaty, mouthy, pencil-pocket geek in grade school who blurted out answers without being called on.
Backstage, Trump probably takes his lunch money.
I hope the dropped out candidates remain non-commited so as to put the lead delegate grabber over the 1273 so the GOPe can’t create chaos regardless of who the winner is.
I think he has won 8 delegates so far, On the first vote at the convention they are committed to Ben Carson. After that they can vote for whom ever they want. If Carson endorses somebody else , then they are released to vote for who ever they want on the first vote at the convention. His endorsement means that he is asking his delegates to vote for the candidate that he chooses to endorse. Once again after the first count the delegates are free to vote for whom ever they want. The first vote is not held on the convention floor anymore. That is pretty much done when the delegates register at the convention. So what you see on TV will be the final vote count. In 2008 Hillary demanded that there be a floor count even though in the first count she was already out.
Carson bad-mouthed Trump last week. He’ll go for Kasich.
Despite the Cruz stunt early on Cruz is the natural inheritor.
Outsider. Conservative Christian evangelical voters.
I thought the “please prayerfully consider dropping out” Cruz said was directed at Carson
I think you’re right about Kasich as VP, even though he’s a complete idiot. He walked away from the bait tonight to trash Trump.
Trump compared Carson to a child molester, incurably pathological. I don’t think that endeared Trump to Gentle Ben’s supporters.
Carson voters those TWO people went home...lol
Cruz’s “dirty trick” on Carson has been debunked by all but the brain dead!
The real dirty trick came from Carson’s campaign manager giving the CNN reporter such a vague and imprecise description of why Carson wasn’t spending time in NH and SC.
Get off the Trump talking points!
Some in my family voted for Carson and now support Trump. I suspect his votes will go to the Pub nominee.
Trump will get the majority of votes from anyone who drops out except those that only vote pro-life, Cruz gets those....maybe some of those go to Rubio but not as many. The GOPe has way overplayed its hand with the Romney fiasco yesterday.
