If the Republicans give the nomination to Trump, I wonder how long it would take them to recover.
Here's How Donald Trump Could Become President

It takes 1237 delegates to secure the Republican nomination. If Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich keep whittling away delegates from the remaining total Trump will not make it, math simply isn't on his side and that's not even considering that Romney recently filed to run for President in 2016 with Ron Paul listed as his VP.
I'm predicting a contested convention, Trump will stomp his feet and try to run as an independent after he fails to get the required number of delegates to secure the nomination because "The GOP isn't treating him right", which in Trump speak means he didn't get what he wanted.
As for who ultimately wins the GOP nomination in a brokered convention, probably Cruz, who will lose the general election in spectacular fashion.

Someone give DizzyBooby a kick, he's stuck on stupid again.
It appears all but certain Trump is going to win Florida next week, taking all 99 delegates from that state. Seems to me the only chance to stop him, if that happens, is by preventing him from taking Ohio and all of its 66 delegates. If he sweeps both Florida and Ohio next Tuesday, I think the GOP nomination is his.

Seems to happen to him quite often.
GOP conceding Florida to Trump. All bets on Ohio
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-03-09/the-party-goes-to-bat-for-kasich-in-ohio
"The Party Goes to Bat for Kasich in Ohio"
"The state GOP breaks its neutrality to help the governor."
"Since making his debut in Ohio politics 38 years ago as a 26-year-old with a bowl haircut and a penchant for lecturing party elders, John Kasich has been elected nine times as a congressman and twice as governor. He won 86 of 88 counties when he was re-elected in 2014. Kasich’s counting on his home state to stick with him and keep his long-shot bid for the White House alive in its March 15 primary.
He has a unique advantage: the active support of Ohio’s state GOP. The party, run by close allies, helped him pay for trips to New Hampshire and South Carolina in the months before he announced his campaign. In January the party threw its support behind Kasich, breaking 64 years of neutrality in the presidential nominating process. (The last endorsement went to Robert Taft, in 1952.) Only one other candidate this year had the backing of a state party—New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whose home state GOP got behind his candidacy.
Having the party’s backing gives Kasich a host of advantages. His surrogates are descending on official functions for the GOP faithful in a party-coordinated effort, “reaching literally thousands of surefire Republican primary voters,” says Matt Borges, the state GOP chairman. The events included 14 Lincoln Day dinners held around the state in early March, the signature local Republican party event of the primary season. “We had a Kasich surrogate at every single one of them,” says Borges. No other campaign showed.
The party is also deploying its voter turnout machine on Kasich’s behalf, driving a surge in absentee and early ballots, which typically account for a third of the vote. As of March 4, more than 84,000 had been received, according to Ohio’s secretary of state. “At the end of the day, we have the apparatus to turn out the vote,” says Borges. “It’s already been working for weeks, even months, to deliver this victory for John Kasich.”
Over the years, the Ohio GOP has polished absentee turnout to an art, including chasing snowbirds at their winter addresses and people who’ve moved out of state but haven’t yet updated their voter registration. The party sent mailers to about 150,000 absentee voters, each of whom will also receive follow-up calls from Kasich’s super-PAC, a coordinated effort no other candidate can duplicate, says Borges. The party is sending a million more cards to Republican voters expected to vote on primary day. Republican candidates for local office are carrying Kasich campaign literature as they canvass, as will more than 1,000 volunteers coordinated by the state party."
If the Donald can win Ohio, it's the political equivalent of David vs. Goliath.

Except the part where David owns a goddamn mech. I mean really this feels more like one of those old cartoons or video games where the badguy keeps throwing chumps at you instead of coming down himself. Kasich will probably win but still DAMN.
He'd be right in doing so if they play that game.

That's cos the NJ GOP wanted the fucker out of the state.
The objective is to keep Trump from gaining 1237 delegates. Kasich is a pawn in that attempt. Nothing more.

When Trump and his minnie me were blasting Rubio for not showing up for work, I can't believe Rubio didn't fire back about minnie me following Trump around while his nj approval rating was 27% and 7 nj papers were demanding Chrispie's resignation.
I woulda been all over that.
Complete list; GOP bosses, liberal billionaires, sole Dem at #NeverTrump meeting
"According to the venerable Encyclopædia Britannica, the word cabal is defined as a private organization or party engaged in secret intrigues. In the wake of Donald Trump's near clean sweep of the March 8 GOP primaries and caucus, the anti-Trump secret meeting recently held in Georgia certainly fits the definition.
In what may be the most curious presidential race in the history of the United States, Anusha Asif of Tech News Today reports on Mar. 8, 2016, many of the Congressional leadership of the Republican Party have met on March 7 with a who's who of liberal billionaires behind closed doors. As reported, the GOP honchos are brainstorming with liberal über-rich on how to stop the populist GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
Despite many a talking head opining that Trump's momentum had peaked following his two squeaker wins in Kentucky and Louisiana last Saturday, the New York City business mogul just gut punched the GOP establishment with his rather impressive wins in the latest round of voting. David Jackson of USA Today reports on Mar. 9, 2016 that Trump had runaway victories yesterday in the Michigan and Mississippi primaries as well as the Hawaii caucus.
The only fly in The Donald's ointment would be opponent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) winning the Idaho primary. In the meantime, the anti-Trump Gang of 22 met at the beyond opulent The Cloister 5-star resort in Sea Island, Georgia. Perhaps proving that politics indeed make for strange bedfellows, the by-name listing of the establishment Republicans meeting with a sole Democrat and a slew of politically liberal techie powerhouses is as follows:
Tim Cook, billionaire Apple CEO
Larry Page, billionaire Google co-founder
Sean Parker, billionaire Napster creator and Facebook investor
Elon Musk, billionaire Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder
Arthur Sulzberger, billionaire publisher of The New York Times
Philip Anschutz, billionaire businessman and GOP donor
Karl Rove
Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.)
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.)
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio)
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.)
Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.)
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.)
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.)
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.)
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas)
Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.)
Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.)"

That's why the vatican uses smoke.
They can blame the choice on God for sending down the wrong color smoke.
Cagey fucks, those Catholics.

That may be but how many people will stay home on Election Day because both candidates suck so badly?
