The thing that’s puzzling to me is, why the GOPe believes they are better able to deny Trump the nomination with two “not-Trump” candidates in the race vs. just one. One possible explanation is that they are in fact pushing Kasich to drop out, but he won’t do it. That could perhaps explain his increasingly odd and defensive behavior, as we saw in the Brett Baier interview.
I don’t think it will matter, as Trump has lots of upside and those who won’t vote for him will vote for the not-Trump regardless.
I think the GOPe strategy is clear. I could be wrong too, but this is how I see it.
They don’t want Trump. They don’t want Cruz.
They have a better chance of denying Trump with three men in.
They are hoping Cruz and Kasich can draw off the delegates Trump needs.
I think he can do it, but it’s far too close for my liking. We are messing with fire here.
They don’t want Cruz to win, either. As a matter of fact, they hate Cuz more than Trump because Cruz will use the law against them, not just his mouth.
