HuffPo: John Kasich will be GOP candidate and Rubio will be VP candidate

This is all strictly my opinion:

The easiest thing to do is let Donald have the nomination, show minimal support for his unconstitutional, unworkable, impossible-to-implement ideals during the campaign and hope to hell that he loses to HRC. And, for the record, this is NOT the path Reagan took to the Presidency. He was the GOP governor of California, had run as a Republican at least one time before losing to President Ford, etc... Republican Senator Laxhalt was his national campaign manager. Reagan's use of "make America great again" in this ad not withstanding:

The Living Room Candidate - Commercials - 1980 - Liberty Park/Hope Campaign 80

While it is fun to think about palace intrigue and some of it may certainly happen, the prospect of the GOP brain trust conniving to give it to a man who has won one state is farcical on it's surface. So I doubt Kasich will see the inside of the White House anytime soon.

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, has won a number of states including Texas and Iowa. If he had done some ground work in his largely wasted four years in the Senate cultivating relationships and party-building, he may have been an attractive alternative. His behavior has been the stuff that situation comedies are made of and his rhetoric remains a mix of unworkable stances and impractical solutions.

This leaves Mr. Trump. Like it or not, he has had the plurality of support among those voting in republican primaries and caucuses. He is the rightful recipient of the nomination based on that alone.

The powers-that-be in the RNC should let the chips fall where they may and offer neither advice nor support to any delegate or candidate in the event that nobody gets a majority of delegates.
trump has not won one majority. he came closest in Arizona, where he got 47%.

Cruz has won several Majorities, one where he got 63%.

trump is disliked by a majority of Republicans, intensely so. No way should he get the nomination based on pluralities. Especially given how unpopular he with the majority of the party

It's a nationwide contest...isn't it? Trump has won in the North, in the South, in the East, and in the West. He has won more delegates in the GOP than anyone else.

If the "majority" of Republicans dislike Trump, they have a strange way of showing it since he has more votes than anyone else.

I would imagine that Clint Eastwood is better "liked"...should he win based on that?
prior to Florida votes got chopped seven ways. After AZ, there have been three. And Trump has been loosing badly. He has only won on state, MI. He got 36% there. . He just can't over 36%.

He is hated.

Cruz has been winning. And when he wins he can often getnver 50%

Cruz won Utah with over 50% where there were NUMEROUS reports of fraud committed. Trump was kicking ass when there was 6 and 7 candidates in the race and will continue doing so.
 
John Kasich Will Be the Republican Nominee for President

This comment sums it up.
A John Kasich ticket will produce the lowest Republican turnout in recorded history.
.

That's interesting. Then why, I wonder, does Kasich continually poll beating Hillary (Ms popular with the middle bloc) by more than 10 points?

Also, it won't be Rubio, or I'll vote for Hillary even if Kasich is the nominee. Rubio couldn't even carry his home state. And, Trumpsters hate Rubio. The GOP will be smart enough to pick a person the Trumpsters will be more apt to accept.

Your argument reminds me of the frivolous discussion about who is a better franchise in sports when one team has a fist full of championship rings and the other (the frivolous discussion goes) has a higher winning %
 
I think Trump has won his last primary with Michigan. People will ignore Kaisch will be ignored, and trump will never get over 35%, so Cruz will win them all from now on.
 
Kasich would get 35% nationally and a kasich/rubio ticket would lose both florida and ohio. would lose 10 senate seats and 50 house seats.

And your evidence of this is you simply saying so?

Polling consistently shows Kasich defeating Clinton in a landslide and winning states that the Republicans haven't won since 84

Polls show Trump and Clinton tied in Pennsylvania.

Her "evidence" is her own complete lack of understanding regarding the differences between a primary and a general election.

Trump, Clinton hold big leads in N.Y., Pa., in new polls

Looking ahead to the general election. In Pennsylvania, it's much more evenly matched: Clinton and Trump would be tied at 44 percent each, the poll found.
