Bush 41 was Reagans VP after fighting tooth and nail for the Nomination. That's just how politics works.
Trump's negativity rating and our best shot.

so, to sum, if Trump falls 100 delegates short, the GOP should then allow either the guy who came in 3rd to be their candidate?
makes no sense whatsoever and we're all stupider for having read this thread. thank you and stop posting bullshit.

I don't think Reagan ever insulted the appearance of someone's wife, or talked about how sweaty someone was.
and I dont recall Nancy ever being referred to as a dumb *****, either.
politics today are not the politics of yesterday.
adapt.

It makes no sense, and would betray the voters, but and after their initial vote delegates can change their minds.
Trump is new to politics and lacks connections. The establishment does not like him or Cruz. If a person is not liked by the party, they will struggle to hit the magic number if they go into the convention short.
The bottom line is this Kasich is the compromise candidate. He's best suited to win the must-win state of Ohio, and the lone man ahead by 6+% in the polls over Clinton.
If my choice is him or Clinton, its an easy choice.
i will admit that if this happens, that the GOP would collapse.
Trump would run independent and Conservatives would then have a choice to follow the appointee or go 3rd party.
In fact, if this happens to both parties - say Bernie is snubbed by the dems - then Trump/Sanders could trigger the super-quick rise of a 3rd party.

Speaking of 3rd party, Stossel hosted a debate of libertarians a couple weeks ago. Apparently, one of them is supposed to run as an independent. Fox even showed a poll with Clinton, Trump and one of the libertarians. Clinton obviously won as the libertarian took 10% or so of the votes from Trump. If this happens, the GOP also will have no chance to win. Not a fan of Stossel to begin with but for him to be pushing this makes me like him even less.

If if if if if if if if
Trump will go over 1237 like it was standing still, I say he gets over 1400 delegates - all these states coming up are in his wheelhouse
BAM!
Too many states are not winner take all. 50/50 for DT to get to 1.237
Not only does he have a good chance to get the 1237 but the polls are now showing both him and Cruz closing the gap on the head to head with the Hildebeast. She has been a solid 10 to 15 points up on them nationally but it looks like a dead heat now.

Coach, look, im not quite so right wing as most here so Kasich doesnt bother me, but he is pretty much Hillary lite... The reasons moderate blue collar dems cross over -disagreeing with gun control, job creation, national security... He is aligned or has a record close to Rodham clinton... He wont get thst cross over at all cause why would they care... Right now the polls are not reflective of reality... And he is so establishment friendly there is no way he gets the Bernstar voters

Look again
some states have over 50% getting the same as winner take all, as well as in some states those not meeting a 20% cutoff level get nothing
Trump's support at 50 percent in Connecticut
If the front-runner surpasses 50 percent, he could sweep all 28 of the state's delegates in the April 26 GOP primary.

I can live with Kasich only because I am very secular and gun rights, abortion and common core are not big issues to me. The religious arm of conservatism and I do not get along.
I can live with Kasich as a RINO to those christian conservatives knowing (and hoping) that at least Kasich would halt the liberalization of the federal government. It might not be as far as I want, but slowing it down might be the next best thing. He also has a long track record of fiscal responsibility and with a Republican controlled congress would drastically slow down federal taxation and spending, which I think we desperately need.
He and I differ on immigration as he is much more open to amnesty and I'm not sure he cares about closing the border but he'd be better than Obama and at least might get some legislation passed on the topic. Kasich also seem adequate on foreign policy depending on his choices for his cabinet.
I said last summer that the best ticket to win the White House is probably Kasich/Rubio as they would give Hillary a serious run for her money in Florida and Ohio, but that said, I agree it would be very status quo and the corrupt system we have would continue to chug right along with another term or two of our leaders paying off debts they took to get elected in the first place (and this year especially whoever gets elected if not Trump will have huge debts to payback behind closed doors).
This election season has sickened me so much but not the reason the mainstream media wants to sell me (that Trump is the demagogue Hitler incarnate) but the fact I now see first hand the corruption and power the establishment (on both sides) has and their fear of losing that power is paramount over all else, including the interests of this country, the constitution and it's citizens. When I see that, I know the system is broken beyond repair and only electing Trump will change things (or even getting him nominated and getting 45% of the vote).

Difference is that no one else will bring out as many GOP voters as Trump. If the party puts up someone else then a lot of voters will stay home like they did in 2012.
Agreed. If it's not him then the sails just lost their wind and the dark side wins again.
And by dark I mean evil, not skin color, you race card playing libtards. See what I did there? That was pre-emptive.
It would take a Jordan Spieth crash and burn for it to go wrong for Trump. Just isn't going to happen, he'll either have the number of delegates locked up for the win or be leading enough that there is no question.
All the numbers are trending correctly. The Trump Train is chugging along and will sooner or later run over Cruz and the caboose, Kasich. Maybe not in that order but if you ain't on it you're under it.

Hope you're right. The way the "experts" are talking a brokered convention is inevitable.
Understand this... The only reason kasich, who is losing everywhere by big numbers, is still in this is cause the establishment realizes that appointing romney or ryan will start riots... They will give it to kasich in a brokered convention if trump and cruz dont get the delegates they need and try to pass it off as the will of the people. Him still running puts no doubt in my mind that he is thouroughly corrupt.

Kasich wants to be VP and will hold his delegates hostage for that.

It's over
Trump can win with 1,100 delegates
Republican National Committee member Randy Evans said Wednesday that Donald Trump would likely be able to secure the Republican nomination if he captures anything more than 1,100 delegates, short of the 1,237 delegates needed for a simple majority.
"If Donald Trump exceeds 1,100 votes, he will become the nominee even though he may not have 1,237," Evans said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
