1) Cruz won’t just drop out.
2) Kasich will hang on til Super Tues.
3) By that time, it’s over, regardless of what the GOPe and Rubio do.
BTW, get inside the national Q-Poll: it showed Cruz and Rubio with higher numbers on “experience” and “honesty” than Trump . . . But Trump utterly crushes them on “likely to change things in Washington.” (It was something like 60-16). I think this is the albatross neither can overcome.
It’s also why I think Trump can smash either Bernie or Hillary or even Biden-—they all ARE “Washington.”
Just a point of information for everyone:
Cruz endorsed by James Dobson today.
You may be right. But I think assumptions that Trump can/will beat Hillary or even Bernie are waaaay premature. First, if Trump gets the nomination he will not have the full and practical support of the RNC apparatus AND money. He will still be fighting the “establishment “, to say nothing of people on the right who will simply not vote for him, period.
Put that against the Dems machine - regardless of who their nominee is, it will get ugly. We haven’t seen ugly yet. All the things that freepers opposed to Trump are posting and warning about, all that and more.
I understand the support here and elsewhere for Trump is passionate and singleminded. But you know, having studied politics for years, the general is utterly different than primaries.
