So who is going to be the Republican Nominee?

#82

LOL.  The Trumpettes are in a tizzy right now.  I stand corrected, it will not be a brokered convention, but rather a contested convention.  My best guess right now is that the party will choose perhaps Rubio or Kasich.  The party has made it clear (as have the voters of the Republican Party) that they don't want Trump.  Kasich is a very slim possibility, though nominating him would make more sense than nominating say Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush.

 

Regarding the two leading candidates calling for Kasich to drop out, there are two stories out there that are similar but different.  Trump wants him to drop out because he claims that he takes votes away from him.  I find it hard to believe that someone who would cast a vote for Kasich would switch to Trump.  By the same token, Cruz makes the same argument, however, Cruz wants to get this to a contested convention and he is getting the nod from many delegates in states that he didn't win.  There is an outside possibility that he can win enough delegates to win outright on the first vote, though that's highly unlikely.

 

If the "will of the people" is truly going to get tested, then Trump needs to drop out and run as an independent.  He doesn't have much time to do so, and if he waits until the convention it will be too late.  After losing tonight in Wisconsin, the chances for Trump to secure enough delegates to win the nomination is pretty much nil.




There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
