He will have significant resistance, but I do not see any candidate people will agree on (there is no Abe Lincoln to rise from the party and get support). I like Ted Cruz, but I have not seen that skill set shown so far. Trump is good at whipping up support, how much that will play in the general remains to be seen. Evi L.

But as Evi notes, probably too little and too late. On the too late, it is being done early. VP selections usually don't occur this early, and it is a smart tactic. The problem is, Trump has done a great job convincing his supporters that anything Cruz does is a "tactic". It's like how Democrats convinced their people that a simple mark on a map was a snipers recticle signaling the place to attack. If you point out the absurdity of the smear job, then Trump supporters will claim the genius of Trump to spin the media.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587842796867542781.post-66169747392913296972016-04-27T11:48:17.712-05:002016-04-27T11:48:17.712-05:00I suspect it is too little, too late for Cruz.

It is Trump's nomination to lose and I doubt the GOPe really want to take it from him (they figure this election is a lost cause and just want unity to avoid a down ticket massacre) Evi L.

Drudge had a piece by Freddie Barnes that Kasich might lose at least a third of his supporters in such a switch (let me know if you want URLs).<br /><br />If so, it would put Trump's IN lead in double digits and thus make the state out of Cruz' reach. As for Pence, the NeverVoters have started a threatening campaign on Twitter against him, so an endorsement is unlikely.<br /><br />YMMVedutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.com
