the Republicans have totally screwed themselves. If Trump is the nominee, he goes down in a landslide to either Hillary or Bernie. If the GOP steal the nomination away from Trump, he takes his supporters with him and runs as an independent giving Hillary or Bernie the win.

Either way: DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN NOVEMBER 2016!

is those who will listen to their constituents

and if Kasich is the nominee. He would beat Clinton hands down. Might even beat Sanders, but we'd have a better shot with him.

I believe it would be better for us if they de-select Trump.

But i kind of agree about the civil war.

But in the end, I still see enough Republicans showing up for Kasich. They hate us just as much as we hate them right now. It would be a fierce battle and he already has the jump on a key state like Ohio

How many Democratic Governors would defund Planned Parenthood? They however despise him as much as most Democrats in Ohio do.

I would love to be wrong. I just think he wins the "least insane Republican" award and could get some backing.

Trump make him look like a moderate which he is not, Bernie would be our best pick against him I feel that Hillary who has shown that she is a weak campaigner and could get smoked by a Kasich run where Bernie will be able to pick up enough independent Trump people who were backing him for not being able to be bought will go with Bernie. The only candidate with higher unfavorable ratings than Hillary is Trump. Bernie has the highest favorable rating of any one running on ether side.

He beats both candidates in head to heads right now. My only hope would be that the rancor from a brokered convention would depress GOP turnout.

and has absofrigginlutely no potential for crossover votes. Hillary = Democratic Party loss, and a GOP House and Senate.

How many states did he win one or two. If he is installed as the Repug nominee, Trump supporter will not vote for him..
