cast a blind eye. Mind you, they are so evangelical and christian, but so forgiving when one of their own step out of line. Talk about double standards!

Trump will get killed. They know that fact, too. All they have is Kasich vs Clinton WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #7

Trump is going to survive all the mess he has created. My only regret is that Mrs. Clinton is toast akbacchus_BC Mar 2016 #9

Under current rules, they won't be able to even nominate him. brooklynite Mar 2016 #15

Bingo! So that's why they changed it to an Open Convention. That rule doesn't apply WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #19

Has there actually been a rule change for the GOP convention? Ken Burch Mar 2016 #24

Listening to Political analyst saying convention is going to multiple ballots, foregone conclusion WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #41

Sex scandals have never stopped republicans. They keep having them and their constituents akbacchus_BC Mar 2016 #12

That would be the only reason Kasich is still running, given his primary/caucus performances. bulloney Mar 2016 #85

I'm suspicion too. FarPoint Mar 2016 #14

And the "Lose with Cruz" meme is a total smoke screen WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #17

My intuitive self senses there is a big smoke screen amongst us... FarPoint Mar 2016 #18

Start a thread when you figure it out. I'm thinking Clinton will have to pick Sanders, now WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #20

I don't see Sanders being a VP. FarPoint Mar 2016 #22

That's why I have him resigning. He's only on the ticket to carry it across the goal line lol WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #23

I want to see Bernie continue his momentum.. FarPoint Mar 2016 #25

Agreed. Looking forward to your thoughts when you figure out the Dem side WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #34

A view from the other side PJMcK Mar 2016 #31

Right now, on Bill Press Show, some analyst (lol) is saying Open convention foregone conclusion WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #38

Analyst Daren Samuleson, Politico WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #39

The notion that Trump would let the nomination be stolen from him and not put up a fight is absurd. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #33

It won't be 25%, but it doesn't have to be. Arkana Mar 2016 #43

Split the difference-20% DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #44

If that's the case SheenaR Mar 2016 #46

I've read that analysis before and don't buy it. morningfog Mar 2016 #47

Much more likely to be a reprise of 1992 with the Democrats winning pluralities in 32 states... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #48

You very well may be right SheenaR Mar 2016 #50

Perot won 20% of the vote and 0 Electoral College Votes. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #52

It doesn't actually matter who the GOP nominee is, they will be buried for different reasons Tarc Mar 2016 #36

I covered that in #16. Open Convention is happening. Politico agrees WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #49

Respectfully, you never answered it... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #57

Apparently, the R Party doesn't care what happens. That's all that matters. I don't need to answer WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #58

Kind of spoils it for Kasich with... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #59

But they may still have leverage with Cooterville because of SCOTUS. WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #63

I don't believe Trump's supporters will act in anything that resembles a rational manner. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #64

In some alternate world, Marvel Multiverse-616 perhaps, that will happen. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #53

Do a little digging. Start with post #54 WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #56

I agree it will likely be contested. I don't think that Kasich will be the beneficiary. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #62

Kasich is the only one polling favorably. Don't know why they'd go with an unknown commodity WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #67

A brokered convention is to save their vision of the Republican Party. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #69

Hmm... I don't understand how they hope to accomplish that by an open convention. WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #72

The leadershp is scared of Trump, and convinced that voters will turn out in big numbers Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #74

Oh, oh, got it. I still think they want SCOTUS so they'll be willing to shoot the moon for POTUS. WhaTHellsgoingonhere Mar 2016 #76

I think their first priority is saving their control of their party. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #83
