(12,655 posts)yes, i lurk on that other website...,cruz supprters hate the gopE as much as trump supporters do. and most are either trump/cruz or cruz/trump.
and many carson supporters are anti E too. so the boy wonder can forget about a windfall if anyone drops out, except for kasichs handful of supporters.

Marco would have a cooler filled with Poland Springs next to his chair and paper towels to mop up the sweat. Cruz would continue the Bible waving and breast beating. It would be the best circus ever.

The risk of a brokered convention is greater between Hillary and Bernie.

(2,016 posts)If one of two candidates wins by less than, say, 2/3rds, it's as good as brokered in the sense that the 'minority' candidate can demand influence over the final Party platform.
