If Trump finally implodes, and Cruz does the same if he is revealed as

being on the D.C. Madam's call list, does Kasich really get the nod just by virtue of hanging in there?

1. I would hope so

Kasich is the only GOP candidate that I do not loathe.

[Recursion]

2. He also beats both Sanders and Clinton in head to head polls

So, let's hope the Madam charge comes out but doesn't sink Cruz's campaign.

4. He's still no moderate, though, and would do a lot to harm the country in his

own way.

8. You are obviously on the wrong board

9. IMO, he's a Scott Walker/Koch puppet with a better public interface

I think the Democratic establishment would prefer to run against Trump and I think that's why part of that establishment encouraged him to run

12. I think so too.

10. Let me be clear

Because suprisingly people have responded with assumption (sarcsam)...

I wouldn't vote for Kasich but if the GOP managed to pull off a win, I would rather see him than Trump or Cruz. If that means I'm "on the wrong board" shrugs

3. I don't know--you have Turdblossom yammering about a "fresh face" at the convention.

I think they're going to pull a stunt.

5. Could very well be. Man, would that ever piss off Kasich!

[TwilightGardener]

6. I couldn't imagine running for President, and all the work and $$ and exhaustion that entails,

and winning states--and then having that snatched away from you in favor of someone who didn't bother to run at all and waltzes in at the very end. I'm saying that for tRump and Cruz as well, loathsome as they are.

7. I was thinking the very same thing!

11. They have already picked Paul Ryan

He has been making conciliatory statements, especially about his "makers" and "takers" analysis from last election.
