Exclusive — #NeverTrump Collapsing: Delegates Bound to Marco Rubio, John Kasich Begin Warming to The Donald

Some are making the pitch that they want Trump to pick Rubio as his vice presidential candidate, but nonetheless the warm comments many of these Rubio delegates are making about Trump—instead of about Sen. Ted Cruz — is perhaps a sign of a turning tide in the delegate game after Trump captured at least 89 delegates in New York last night...

“Whatever happens, it’s important we have a unity ticket at the convention and leave Cleveland united and energized,” the alternate delegate and Rubio backer said. “Whatever combination emerges, with Cruz or without, a unified Republican front is the goal...”

That would be real cute, total opposite ends to the immigration disaster on the same ticket. Real smart.

Easily reconciled. Rubio's last flip was border security first. He can say that he and Trump both want the laws enforced, but they disagree as to the best way to do this. Flippy as Rubio is, HRC has to stay hard left on Amnesty, so Rubio has lots of room to the left of Trump, just as Palin had lots of room to the right of McCain on ANWR.

Earlier in the season, a lot of us started setting ABSOLUTELY NOT on some candidates even for VP. Rubio does help with Florida, and he is enough of a wonk to be useful to Trump. He also is not running for his FL Senate seat.

President is the big spot. That's what most people vote on. If Trump DOESN'T have 1,237, it's the obvious play. It also practically forces HRC to pick a Hispanic. It would be wisest to make the announced joing of forces BEFORE the Dem convention, to make THEM the copycats.

I think there is a good chance Trump will choose Rubio for two reasons.

1. He’ll get Rubio’s 172 delegates.

2. He’ll have an Hispanic on the ticket.

Yeah and Rubio has proven that he lacks any sort of backbone or core convictions of his own, so for sure he’ll play it Trump’s way.

Rubio will be in check in the TRUMP presidency.

He would also learn a hell of a lot about our country that he missed during the first part of his career.

He can watch a real MAN perform with resolve, and with the people on his side.

Right on cue the GOP starts to return to a semblance of sanity. I don’t expect Bill Kristol to come along...the crazy runs deep in that one...but most will. If Trump gets to the convention with the most votes and delegates he’s the nominee.

Brilliant!

Hillary is thought to be picking the Castro brother out of San Antonio. Scaryyyyyy bunch, there— the whole Marxist cabal of open borders and NA UNION pushing crowd.

The Establishment still has some squeeze power, evidently, to pull this off against TRUMP, if it is even real, to be able to deny him his own ticket mate. Rubio is a mess, presently.

Drat.

I was kinda hoping Trump would pick Kasich, if for no other reason than he was the architect of balancing the budget back in the '90s and he likely still knows where all the budget dead bodies are buried.

Can't imagine anything more valuable to a President who wants to eliminate reduce the debt.

Cartel Cruz stepped in his chili, on this one. Reviled by all sides.

Showing a little class would have gone a long way. He will be lucky to get of this with his boots on, now.

Bingo that.

That wagging pup will either come around, or TRUMP will make him look like a dunce by the end of a first term.
