Are GOP delegates patriots above all else?
Would the delegates' own opinions be respected enough for unity?
If everyone falls short of the 'magic' 1236 [or whatever it is], is it possible that Cruz can actually prevent a brokered convention?
Will most Trump supporters understand if Trump is defeated via a convention fight?
How much time does Trump have to enter ballots as an independent if a convention fight is a certainty? Under such circumstances, should he consider doing so?
How much leverage will the Establishment have on Trump if he's forced to make a deal with them at the convention? How much would that water down his agenda?
[Rush mentioned that the Establishment forced Bush on Reagan via a convention threat.]
If Trump runs as an independent, how many GOP party faithful will remain with the GOP? Up against the frontrunner, would the GOP become a third party?
Kemp would not have been in my top picks. If Ashbrook had been chosen and died, I think Jeane Kirkpatrick would’ve been an interesting mid-term replacement. Some in the GOP might’ve balked, as she only switched to the GOP recently, but she was formidable enough to have become the first woman President after Reagan.
