Don't screw us over Kasich.

Paul Ryan won't categorically rule out accepting GOP nom. if a deadlocked convention turns to him

Edit: Noteworthy to mention... Rubio ended his race with the highest favorables, highest numbers on honesty/trustworthiness, and the best numbers against Hillary.

So. Yeah. Glad we avoided that potential disaster. Or something.

That would kick ass, since we all know it was Romney holding him back in 2012.

His dismal performance against Biden (Biden!) in the VP debate was an anomaly, too.

Another guy trying to be the smartest person in the room when someone is kicking him in the balls. ON WISCONSIN!

Edit: His job at present was to have more votes than Trump, Cruz and Kasich. This isn't a morality play, it is a primary election. This is like saying, "The Panthers would have beaten the Patriots..." which doesn't matter because the Patriots couldn't beat the Broncos. It is inconsequential, ultimately.

If you're searching for a candidate in mid-March, you've lost the election momentum.

I think y'all are spray-painting a turd right now.

In fairness, I think Trump is that color because of fake bake, not spray paint.

It is a bit odd the guy most likely to win stepped down.

A Trump press corps would consist entirely of Drudge, and his personal Pravda: Breitbart.

This is really looking to me like a contested convention. Trump is going to have to win the central states to get a straight majority. Cruz can barely pace him. Kasich has no mathematical chance. But, Kasich has positioned himself as the grownup, so might be able to milk that.

Now, Trump/Cruz as a ticket? Where's the emoji for holy f'n crap. That would effectively mean the GOPe is no more and it is a whole different party. I'm not sure I would want to be in that party, but it would be a revolution.

ETA:
The voters in Missouri are confusing the snot out of me. Apparently, they get to vote "uncommitted." So, a bit more than 3k of them did that. A baker's dozen or so candidates on the ballot, and they couldn't commit to a single one? Chris Christie, a sheep in sheep's clothing, got about 1600. Santorum even got a few hundred. More importantly, the uncommitted is almost exactly the difference in Trump or Cruz (with ~90% reporting). Show me? Show me how to PICK SOMEBODY!

It would make for a few days of interesting TV, that is for sure!

I'm calling it now. The Republican Convention, in Cleveland, will be MUST see tv. I'm thinking it will rival '68. Lord knows I won't be anywhere near that place.

Any chance Jerry Springer will be hosting the convention?

Beautiful.

Come on, man. Sanders beats the entire Republican field in polling. SANDERS! And you still insist long range polling should be given credence at this early moment? And Kasich would be the best choice to run against him?

... Trump warns of possible 'riots' if he doesn't get White House nomination.

Borderline inciting. Marching orders for his drooling followers.
