John King and the CNN analyst now saying the “never Trump” people want Rubio and Kasich to stay in the race so that Trump never gets 1237 delegates. Bad idea. That will result in a disaster for the Republican party. I know I’m in the minority here, but I think that if Rubio and Kasich got out NOW, Cruz would mostly run the table from here on out. The advantage, for the “never Trump” people is that Cruz would then go to the convention with over 1237 delegates and it would be over with.
Cruz would NOT run the table in the remaining states if it were Trump vs Cruz. No way.
I do not see it that way. Because almost all remaining primaries are winner takes all. Kasich & Rubio & Cruz will divide the voters between themselves, and Trump will win most of those. Also there are no more caucus states remaining AFAIK.
I would hope and pray that both Rubio and Kasich pull out now. Cruz will take over from there and win... he is nipping at Trumps heels but can’t make it due to the votes being drained by both the others.
I don’t think that even though BEN CARSON said he would favor TRUMP ( never said he would endorse him) over the establishment, I doubt his supporters would go for Trump ...
“John King and the CNN analyst now saying the “never Trump” people want Rubio and Kasich to stay in the race so that Trump never gets 1237 “
Yep.
Because they don’t want Cruz either.
They want Paul Ryan.
Go figure.
Yep pretty telling that the GOPE folks are just that stupid.
Cruz is their only hope but they will not try that. Instead they really are stupid enough to think the state delegations are going to cut their political careers throats by going against the will of their voters at the covnetion jsut because DC tells them too.
GOPE, really want whole state delegations walking out of the convention live on national TV?
I don’t think Cruz would run the table. I tend to think Trump will.
Doesn’t matter though ...we can agree to disagree on that.
Hannity said exactly that today. The GOPe plan is to keep Trump from getting 1237...and of course Cruz also. Then they will do the brokered convention and take nominate their “pick”.
That’s another reason I am so disgusted with Cruz jumping in bed with the Bush money. He cannot be trusted. Trump has been nice to Cruz in the last couple of weeks. I had hoped they would join forces to beat the GOPe. I was hoping we all could.
Cruz screwed it up with taking the Bush money and showed exactly that he is nothing big big government.
You Cruzers need to face reality. I’m not gloating when saying it. I’m mad. He was my ‘second’ guy. He has shown his true colors.
Yes.
So will they or not drop out is the question of the hour, Kasich won't because he's been bleating all along he's going to be running against Trump and he's banking on Ohio. Rubio is between a rock and hard place even before Florida.
Personally I can't stand Kasich’s consistent whining from the get go. Just don't like the man.
