I understand your logic. I'm still reeling over Carson throwing his support to Trump and not to Kasich

Granny, Kasich has no chance of winning the nomination, so it really makes no sense for anybody to endorse him at this point. Kasich is probably staying in the race and hoping for a contested convention, so that he can bargain for the No. 2 spot on somebody's ticket.

Kasich failed to turn in enough valid signatures to qualify for the Pennsylvania and Illinois ballots. A Rubio supporter filed a protest in Pennsylvania but did so at 5:13 PM on the filing deadline. Nobody protested his candidacy in Illinois, where he was hundreds of signatures short.

I will be very disappointed if Cruz agreed to be Trump's running mate. A Trump presidency would be a disaster for this country and being the VP for a dopey president will not help anybody's political career.

I told my family months ago that there is no way that Trump is ever going to agree to debate Cruz one-on-one and, sure enough, Trump is already talking about the debates being "boring" and stating that there have been enough debates already. He was clueless last night.

Somebody tweeted last night that anybody who was playing a drinking game where they had to take a drink whenever Trump said "deal" was probably already dead.

As bad as I believe a Trump presidency would be, if the establishment maneuvers to deny the nomination to anybody who wins a plurality of votes will set the Republican Party back decades, IMO. Voters will not unite behind Romney or anybody else who has not campaigned and won the most votes going into the convention. If the delegate leader is Trump or Cruz, Reince Priebus and company better not try to rob them of the nomination.
