BrownsBoard predicts...Republican Nominee
-
All I can say is there's a zero percent chance I will vote for ted cruz. If the republican establishment nominates cruz the election will effectively be over at the convention.
-
And the republicans are in a bad spot because there are more who say they will not vote for Trump under any circumstances. Even worse for republicans are polling that show the republicans losing the senate and house seats with Trump at the top of the ticket. The only candidate who beats Clinton and Sanders is Kasich but if he would get the nomination you would have both the Cruz and Trump camps likely sitting out the election. Pick your poison.

OBF lay off the pipe fam, Cruz is done. Trump is going to sweep the Northeast.
Just give up and concede to Trump

Trump will sweep the Northeast but then the map starts favoring Cruz again and it will go back and forth until California. Even with Trump sweeping the Northeast he would have swept it even more but Kasich will take more votes away from Trump than Cruz and every delegate Kasich gets is one less for Trump.
I don't know what game Kasich is playing. It seems like he is either in to try and keep Trump from getting the 1237 delegates or he is wanting a vice president spot? I don't think anyone knows what his goal is here. Right now unless the rules are changed he won't even be eligible to get the nomination because the rules as they stand now state a candidate has to win 8 states. Those rules can be changed but the delegates who would change them are mostly for Trump and Cruz so why would they?
If we have a contested convention and Trump does not win on the first ballot the delegates are not bound to their candidate after that point and who has done the best ground game? Cruz who has been working the delegates from the beginning while Trump just seemed to have learned the rules. If there is a contested convention I would put the odds in Cruz's favor. Trump has to get it on the first ballot is how I see it.
Krauthammer: Trump Has to Win On First Ballot, Otherwise "He Is Likely To Be Denied The Nomination" -
Cruz will be mathematically eliminated by time the NE is done, then he'll be playing Kasich.
Trump is going to get it, his campaign is involved in picking delegates too

They all will be mathematically eliminated at some point including Trump. Kasich is there now and Cruz will be next but after California Trump will be mathematically eliminated as well.

Don't see California going for Cruz.
That said Kasich is eliminated from even a contested convention.
That means even if Trump is shy of like 100 delegates (I don't see it happening) would they really go for Cruz who has been obliterated in every blue or purple state. Wisconsin doesn't count, they elected Walker

I don't think Cruz even has to win California he just has to keep Trump from getting enough delegates to go over 1237.
About all agree if they have multiple ballots at the convention it does not favor Trump. Trump has the highest negatives by far of anyone in the race so that is not a big plus in a purple, red or blue state either.
BTW - what was the logic for Trump attacking a popular governor like Walker in Wisconsin? Trump wasn't running against Walker he was running against Cruz. Trump in his juvenile way attacked Walker because Walker endorsed Cruz so Trump then shoots himself in the foot by attacking a popular governor.
-
Plus Wisconsin would never vote Cruz in the GE.
Here's the thing Ted Cruz will be lucky to have all of the religious right, or most, voting for him.
There is a chance that Trump will bring in Independence who wouldn't vote otherwise.
There isn't a beloved candidate except for possibly Bernie Sanders. And his voters are kids who probably won't turn out anyway.

California is WTA and a ton of delegates.
After sweeping the Northeast and winning PA, it's likely California would put him to 1237

*This is a big one (for me). Just recently Levin was saying we should support the nominee whomever it is.
Levin: ‘I Am Not Voting for Donald Trump,’ ‘Count Me As Never Trump
Radio show host Mark Levin stated friday“I am not voting for Donald Trump. Period” and “count me as never Trump” on Friday.
Levin said that a couple of years ago, the Senate Conservatives Fund contacted his publisher to buy old copies of his book, “Liberty & Tyranny” to promote membership, something he wasn’t involved in. Levin defended this as “perfectly legitimate,” and done by many groups and authors, and as far as he knew, wasn’t bulk buying, and didn’t impact any lists. He further stated that whatever money he got from this sale was donated to charity.
Levin then stated, “Roger Stone is a thug. He’s a sleazeball. … And he’s a hatchet man for Donald Trump. So he puts out this obscure article from this obscure website, that used that to claim that I’m bought and paid for by the establishment. … And in the article, they trash other people too, Beck, Erickson, I think there’s another fellow in there trashed, with these nutjob conspiracy theories, and just flat-out lies.”
Levin continued, “Now, there are sleazeballs, like him, sleazeballs like Coulter, and sleazeballs like some talk show hosts, and I’m biting my tongue, who are so contemptible and pathetic, they want to use the most outrageous attacks on one of their colleagues to try and promote themselves. It’s truly pathetic.”
He then added, “Now, I’ve backed Cruz, and I’m going to continue to back Cruz, but here’s what I’m going to do. As a result of what the Trump supporters have attempted here, particularly Roger Stone, I am not voting for Donald Trump. Period. … And if anybody has a problem with that, Donald Trump, you can talk to Roger Stone. These bully, dirty tricks, Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. They’re only going to backfire. So, count me as never Trump. There’s been too much of this folks, way too much of this. The crap in the National Enquirer against Ted Cruz, the attacks on Michelle Fields, I mean, I can go right through the list, too much, too much, too much. At some point, you’ve got to stand up to it.”
Levin concluded, “And if they piss me off one more time, I’m going to urge millions and millions of you, should he get the nomination, not to vote for him either.” And “‘Ooh, Roger Stone has nothing to do with the campaign.’ Oh yes he does.”

I love listening to Mark Levin. Trump cannot be the nominee. He's falling
fast.
Too bad it didn't happen so a lot of rep voters in the earlier states could have seen it.
-
Mark Levin is a joke, just like Glenn Beck.
Trump isn't falling you're just seeing what you want to see. There's a good chance he secures 80-90 delegates in NY alone

Trump’s getting trounced in Indiana
The state hasn’t even voted and convention delegates are already lined up against the front-runner.
Indiana hasn’t cast its ballots for president yet, but Donald Trump is already losing.
Republican Party insiders in the state will select 27 delegates to the national convention on Saturday, and Trump is assured to be nearly shut out of support, according to interviews with a dozen party leaders and officials involved in the delegate selection process. Anti-Trump sentiment runs hot among GOP leadership in Indiana, and it’s driving a virulent rejection of the mogul among likely delegates.
“If Satan had the lead on him and was one delegate away from being nominated as our candidate, and Donald Trump was the alternative, I might vote for Donald Trump,” said Craig Dunn, a local GOP leader who is running to represent Indiana’s 4th Congressional District at the national convention in Cleveland. “I’ve always wanted to own a casino, but he couldn’t give me a casino and have me vote for him.”
Indiana GOP insiders are working to engineer slates of delegates — three from each of nine congressional districts — that will turn their backs on Trump at a contested convention in July. Another 27 will be elected at a state committee meeting next week.
Indiana’s delegates will be bound to the results of the state’s May 3 primary on the first vote in Cleveland, and Trump is expected to be competitive in that contest. (There is no current public polling of the state, but several GOP leaders suggested he'd be competitive in at least a couple of the state's nine Congressional districts.) But if Trump fails to clinch the nomination, they’ll be free to vote their conscience — and that means a rapid rejection of Trump. The state’s Republican national committeeman, John Hammond, has vocally called to reject Trump as well.
That would mark just another blow to Trump’s chances, should the convention go to a second ballot as expected. Though he’s won more votes and state primaries than rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich, Trump has failed spectacularly to win separate delegate selection battles to his better-organized rivals. Though in most cases, he’s lost because of Cruz’s superior organization, Indiana appears to be a break from the norm. Most of the hostility to Trump there is homegrown.

Trump team tells supporters to sign up to be delegates 2 days late
Donald Trump’s team is encouraging its supporters in Washington state to sign up to be a potential Trump delegate. The only problem: The campaign's local crew sent its email on Friday — two days after the filing deadline to appear on the printed ballot in Saturday's conventions and caucuses.

cruz beats trump handily without Kasich farting around in the race.
Wait til trump doesn't get the required number of delegates,
and it is trump vs Cruz.
It has to be Cruz.
