He's playing to his base and repeating that "come join with us" mantra to everybody else, but he would not get a single "crossover" vote from Democrats or Independents. That means he's relying on winning the general election strictly on a turnout from his base.

Ain't gonna happen.

And Ksaich isn't the answer to their prayers, even if they chose to anoint him.

I see Ryan the same way as I see Cruz. We would have to see historic turnout among Republicans, and historic levels of Democrats staying home.

They're pretty much going to be stuck with The Donald.
