Post Master General??? Slowly I turn, and step by step. . .OK, so I did a picture thing today, which I was really proud of, and I have to show it off one more time. This is pretty subtle, and only really smart and sophisticated people will get it:

Post Master General, indeed.

But what happens when the Mailman goes postal?

Kasich seems emotionally unstable to me.

That haircut has me looking at him sideways. He looks like a mental patient!

Lol! Well, I guess it sounded good at the time, but it appears his advisers overestimated the influence of the postal worker vote this year.

1. This is an opinion of Delay’s not a deal... everyone has them as they say.
2. Rubio’s and Kasich delegates will go to someone and that’s TBD not a given.
3. Naivety comes in many forms.... look in the mirror.

I think it is a bad idea.

The two non-establishment guys are DT and TC.

They need to quit bashing each other and team up. Both have good skills to offer a nation flailing.

Time for the Art of the Constitutional Deal.

Maybe Kasich could become the Postmaster General in a Trump administration

Or ambassador to Hong Kong.

Feel better! Rikola cough drops help me immensely, but I haven’t had a real cough since quitting smoking years ago.

This would be great if it happened. I just don’t think it will happen.

If Trump shows up with less than half, it is not guaranteed. That is the way it works. If it gets to a second ballot, anything can happen. Those are the rules. But is Trump shows up with half, he takes it. That is also the rule.

So the GOP should just follow the rules.

Why do Trump People find this objectionable? Why is Donald Trump talking about staging a Beer Hall Putsch at the Convention?

“So the GOP should just follow the rules.....Why do Trump People find this objectionable?”

If it’s candidates vs candidates fighting, slandering and dealing that’s fine, but when have you ever seen the party bosses themselves so brutally attack their own front runner?? Tell me when. (I highly doubt you’ll answer)

Trump is right, the party has not dealt in good faith. But no matter he will find a way to get the majority of delegates. Count on it.

Cruz has not won the necessary Rule 40 B states , the RNC campaign rule requires a presumptive candidate to have taken 100% of the delegates in at least 8 states just to get onto the floor of the convention.

Cruz has not done that and is unlikely to do it.

Trump pretty much has the nomination sewed up, with 26 states remaining and Trump polling between 40% and 55% in the remaining states it is not really possible for Cruz to get 100% of the delegates in any remaining state, let alone 8 of them.

Exactly. My opinion is Cruz will actually make a deal with Trump, requiring Cruz to quit the race in exchange for the ambassadorship to Kyrgyzstan.

Hey, my opinion has just as much of a solid basis in fact as all these other ones.

It’s not 100%, it’s the majority in at least 8 states or territories.

Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday stated that the GOP-E has not accepted that they will have to compromise, and that Kasich specifically will not accept reality.

From where that is comming from. That’s a new interesing conspiracy theory not being bandied about. Maybe Rush will pick it up. Doubt that will ever happen but should by both . Cruz went over Boehner’s head to organize resistance to the gang of 8 amnesty bill in the House which included Rubio. Just like the ehtanol question Cruz has been pretty steadfast in pushing reform. Trump aint. Thats why he refuses to debate.

Both these guys support amnesty (Kasich and Rubio) . In fact for all the noise Trump is making on amnesty his policy has altready been walked back to when illegals ger kicked out they get a round trip ticket back. So it might go the other way around . Whether Rubio goes along with that is another good question. If that happens the conservative movement in the GOP get killed and a 3rd party candidate emerges.

Ricolas work great as do altoids for me. Even better if you sip ice water while dissolving. Really cools things down. Hope you feel better Judy.
