Cruz still crushed Kasich in the primary process. Good luck handwaving that away and telling voters to just take Kasich and like it.
I'm not really saying it isn't possible, but I am saying it is an awful decision. Trump supporters might be OK with Cruz (doubtful at this point but still salvageable)
GL getting them to support Kasich.

If Trump gets the most votes and doesn't get it, it's gonna get ugly, like Bush/Gore Florida ugly.
No evidence he is bailing. Just some of us think his recent actions seem to indicate he may not want to do this for another 7 months and then have to run the country for 4 years ontop of that. Either that or he is a lot dumber than we thought. After Nevada and then Super Tuesday he has just done a horrible job of pivoting. Doesn't seem like he even understands some of the most basic aspects of gov't and policy. And his recent gaffes seem so bad that they almost have to be somewhat intentional.
I don't think it will matter. People are going to be pissed. John Kerry conceded, and most Dems still to this day think it was stolen.
Really? IMO opinion he's been doing idiotic things pretty consistently from the beginning. It's been working for him too. What recent actions?
Well, I think as we get closer to the finish line, the idiotic things are amplified because less people are in the race.
But I was referring to the stuff about Heidi Cruz and his abortion comment yesterday about punishing women if it was illegal. Also, that town hall he did seems to have gotten panned.
Heidi Cruz is the cute daughter of Christian missionaries, how you gonna diss Heidi Cruz?

Only if Drumpf keeps encouraging his sheep to make it ugly. If he turned around and actually became a rational human being(A YUGE stretch, I know) and said something like we will accept whatever happens at an open convention, and under no circumstances should there be riots, or anything even approaching a violent outcome, then things will be fine, and the party will unite behind the candidate, as they usually do.
Yeah I meant Gore. Like you said its way more toxic now. It's going to be a big deal if Trump has this taken away from him. People already think the system is rigged behind the scenes, this will be the man doing it out in the open, and saying, what the fuck are you going to do about it?
Yeah I edited what I said because I felt like it was written in a confusing way. But you seem to get the gist of what I mean.
I think it just comes down to if Trump is diplomatic about it or not and who the actual nominee is.
Trump golfs and bangs his hot wife all day probably. He might not want these problems.
You do realize voting is not mandatory right? People can just stay home.
You are handwaving this possibility away but when you nominate a guy who got 17% of the primary votes then I'm not sure how much enthusiasm he is going to have. We'll see if it comes about.
I know the RX is not an accurate representation of the entire Trump base, but if you asked a lot of these guys if they're going to vote for Kasich, many are going to say screw that and fuck the GOP, I'm staying home.
Nope, but I predict major apathy, and low turn out.
Sure, and so is 3rd party, which I personally hope is the place where the disaffected go, but the VAST majority will do what they always do, and vote for the party candidate. There won't be enthusiasm no matter who the candidate is. There will be big time negatives no matter who the candidate is for both parties. This is an election where any enthusiasm will be voting against the other party.
I agree with this post. DTin no way wants to trade his billionaire, playboy lifestyle for the crushing pressure of being under immense scrutiny 24/7/365 for four years.
I pronounced back in November that he was just doing a reality TV bit and thought he would bail before Super Tuesday.
But I failed to account for how incredibly dismal the mainstream GOP has become at the national level.
Republican primary voters are unwilling to put even 35% of their support for any one of the absurdly unpopular bunch Cruz, Rubio, Carson etc
Clinton will win in November not only because she will receive 60million+ votes but because no one in the Republican party can attract even 50million.
The 62million who voted Romney in 2012 will split this year between the eventual nominee and at least one third party candidate who will be inserted by mid summer.
