In a sane world, and a sane GOP convention, if the two frontrunners together received well more than 50% of the cumulative votes cast (which very likely will be the case), and everyone else has dropped out or isn't close, then every effort should be made to convince those two to run together on the same ticket. Why go through a vetting process (the primaries) if you are going to ignore the results?

Yes, I know ‘they hate each other’ etc. etc., but they certainly wouldn't be the first ticket for which that was true.
