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...”

Cruz, if he had any real popular support would make a difference. But he’s a mirage propped up by #nevertrump and his defection is meaningless. Gimme Kasich and Rubio, let the so-called Cruz people go suck their thumbs. This is about winning and saving the country now., let them do what they will.

I’ll just stand back and watch the Republican party collapse under Mr. Trump. Won’t be pretty, but maybe this needed to happen get all the corrupt pols out of office that call themselves “conservatives”.

When my candidate gets Delegates, he is smart and demonstrates skills needed by a President.

When his opponent gets Delegates, he is a lyin, cheatn snake.

No Rubio - need someone truly mature and ready to step up if (God forbid) the need arises.

Many other reasons he is not a good pick, like Trump already has a great following in FL, so why not try to pick some one to help secure another state?

Trump said he’d pick someone with much experience, Rubio doesn’t have it.

I honestly don’t know what folks like these delegates/supporters think when they think you can just position someone based on “we think it will work” without really looking at and balancing the needs and issues.

All the Cruz people in Philly showed up at a rally, papers said 22 were present. So if they stay home so what.

I don’t know how many of Marcos he actually still controls, but I’d have no problem with him as VP. He’s saying enforcement only now on immigration.
He’d have to keep a tight reign on Marco, but I don’t think he could trust Cruz at all.

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

Haspanics don’t vote by race, they vote by country of origin and there’s a lot more mexicans than Cubans.

What do you think, this is TRUMP’s idea?

I’m afraid in TRUMP’s mind that this is no example of “excellence”, of having Rubio on his ticket. I’m afraid the GOPE are pushing this.

How about Walker? If it just must be decided around delegates to please the GOPE, Walker might work?

How else can TRUMP tempt the Establishment to pay any mind to the people’s vote, but to throw them a bone?

George T Bush III does much better when the people are not allowed to vote.

We’ll see. I haven’t seen any signs of it. Rubio is trying to hold his delegates so they’ll get behind a conservative, and he doesn’t view Trump as one. (Nor do I.)
