Kasich is the only crap sandwich that consistently beats Hillary Clinton and regularly beats Bernie Sanders. Judging strictly by the polls, he is clearly the best choice. The Trump supporters and Cruz supporters basically despise one another at this point and that hatred is harming our chances of winning in the general election. Kasich resolves that problem.

Dude I’m not saying I wouldn’t go there. But Kasich is also complete and utter political stiff with weird nostrils. Not that Trump or Cruz are any less bizarre, besides being folks who wouldn’t make the party nod in pleasure when they thought about a potential nomination. And I’m not sure I buy the polls, anyhow.

You need to reinforce the comfort level of your echo chamber.

Trump will make a lot of money if Hillary wins.

Pot, kettle, black.

Say hello to the Dan Rather Memorial Club next time you're surfing SEE-BS for some puerile liberal garbage to post.

Yes he did. Last night after the WI election. El Trumpo jumped the shark with his remarks. I cringed because I’m a Trump advocate and was embarassed.

Sadly, you might be on to something. Without a majority candidate going in to Cleveland it is hard to imagine Trump supporters swinging to Cruz or Cruz supporters swinging to Trump. That would necessarily put the “unity candidate” plan into place.

The only good thing is that it cannot happen without the acquiescence of Trump and Cruz delegates. The bad thing is I cannot see another viable national figure worthy of the honor. Cong. Goehmert? Gov. Scott of Florida?

Our betters are telling us that everyone, including Trump, will win if Trump loses. I guess that settles that, except for this nagging question. When has CBS ever known or cared about what’s best for me? And when has CBS ever known or cared about what’s best for America?

Absolutely irrelevant: Totally different demographic of 30 years ago. Even NRO Columnist Mona Charen has analyzed the data and concluded that Reagan won’t be able to win California today. Carter’s polls plummeted in the flames of the desert crash in the attempt to rescue hostages. Never cite this nonsensical stat. UnlikeReagan, 73% of women who make up 53% of today’s electorate say they have a negative view of Trump. 1/3 of Republican voters don’t plan to go the polls if Trump is the nominee. Against either Hillary or Bernie, Trump is charcoal toast.

Only Trump has any crossover appeal whatsoever, which is needed to win the presidency. Rubio is the only other contender who had that (just keeping it real). If Trump is denied the nomination, there’s going to be a lot of situations right down to the local level where the ‘pubs will lose badly.

Seven months out from the general election and before the conventions have even occurred, what's really charcoal toast are your propagandist push polls. Such polls are universally known to be worthless, and are merely an attempt to manipulate public opinion, not measure it.

In any event, even if they were the Gospel Truth (and they're not), Donald Trump could easily make up such a deficit on the likes of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. You can deny that all you want, but making such projections 7 months out is absurd, and is veritable "boob bait for bubbas".

Ask yourself, if Hillary/Democrats/Media Water Carriers are so confident about beating Donald Trump, then wouldn't they de-emphasize such valuable information? I mean, wouldn't they logically prefer that Hillary face Donald Trump so that she has the easiest go of it?

Answer me that.

Or, is it instead the case that Hillary/Democrats/Media Water Carriers actually have the GOP voters' best interests at heart, and they're just heroically trying to help GOP voters, and save them from making a mistake in their nomination process?

Answer me that.

I've posed these questions several times to you "push poll propaganda parrots", and have never gotten a single answer.

I wonder why...

The funny factoid that the media ignores often, is Clinton is only a few points more popular than Trump (i.e., she is very unpopular too).

"Trump will make a lot of money if Hillary wins."

Heck, that goes for almost everyone within 35 miles of DC.

Holy crap Batman! It gets even more pathetic despite the laws of physics which say that once a super-saturated state of pathetic is reached, it cannot continue to get more pathetic.

Congratulations -you have destroyed the laws of physics...
