It would certainly provide an interesting 3 way race.

The writing is on the wall. They are going the brokered convention route and they won't choose him.

He will now threaten to sue himself for not keeping his own word. This guy is a national embarrassment.

It looks like they are all backing away from their "pledge" now:

maintain that neither of these three will be the GOP candidate.

Most likely it will be Ryan...

Whatzizname? The guy who pumps his own gas. For the 1% vote?

The party can't pass over Trump and give the nomination to somebody he trounced. And they hate Cruz, so it gives them an excuse to pass over him. They will have to say that nobody who ran was able to gain enough support, so we're picking a candidate we think will be more acceptable.

would like to have seen this in early May - Trump may have gone too far too fast and they'll be able to pull it together by June

The whole party is based on authoritarianism. They think leadership is some combination of making uninformed decisions (remember the "decider?" that was a moment for the ages) and barking orders, largely based on the uninformed decisions they made. There is no loyalty out there to see, no real principles except to misguided bronze-age theocratic bullshit. No loyalty to superiors or to subordinates. It's all me-me-me Trump and a crop of assholes who wish they were Trump.

People claim they want a "strong leader" and then fall for the bullshit and end up with someone with the mentality of a playground bully. Don't see anybody on the Repub slate who shows the maturity of a loud-mouthed BMOC wannabe. Of the whole bunch, Kasich is the best at faking it, I guess, but he's no savior of anything.


If not for the real risk that one of these bozo's might actually be president come next January, this would be fun to watch.

Sanders said he'd only support Clinton if she adopted various parts of his agenda.

"Authoritarian"?

And for Trump, he's not being supported so I can understand why he'd change his mind.

fits more Repubs than Dems.

As for Trump? I just find it hilarious how all of the R's are displaying their lack of principles in public, and how Trump is leveraging all of that with simple PR savvy and the willingness to say outrageous shit on TV and Twitter just to spin the news cycle. If you take a step back and look at it, his timing has been pretty good on his tweets and comments at events. I don't think it will convert any non-supporters, so I don't think it will buy him enough votes to win, but it is worrisome.

Sanders? I don't know that he has said he will support anybody but the Dem candidate, and IIRC he said he would support the Dem candidate. I know he won't vote for Trump. Whether he enthusiastically campaigns for her is another matter, and I wouldn't blame him much if he didn't. The Dem establishment hasn't been all that supportive of him.

I will definitely vote against Trump and the Repub party. If that means voting for Hillary, I'm down with that.

The Donald has all along used the caveat of "if I'm treated fairly", and we've all understood from the onset that he alone would define "fairly" and that there would never be an outcome whereby The Donald agreed that he'd been treated "fairly".

If Trump is the nominee, Cruz is not saying he would support Trump.
