Democracy first.

Democracy doesn't really work with pluralities. And there's nothing wrong with strategy.

Rubio's spokesman said Rubio supporters in Ohio should back Kasich. Kasich's spokesman said Kasich is going to win Ohio without Rubio's help, and Rubio is going to lose Florida without Kasich's help.

If Kasich was actively trying to make Donald Trump the nominee of the Republican Party, I'm not sure he'd have done a single thing differently over the past few months.

Eh, you have two losers clearly rejected by their constituents who are basically just trying to stick it out until the convention in the hopes that the party leaders will nominate one of them over one of the two frontrunners.

Who cares who the people actually voted for.

I've been convinced since the middle of February that Kasich is going to be Trump's choice for VP.

He's got the political experience as an Executive, the DC experience as a Senator and Head of the Budget Committee, was a Fox News commentator IIRC, and understands how the political process in DC actually works.

I don't think Kasich commits career suicide by running on that ticket. He's got it good right now. He's one of the few Republican governors who's done a decent job in his state and he knows it.

he is also a hot head by all accounts though. impressive he has kept his cool through this whole thing.

He probably also realizes the chances for Trump being impeached is better than 50% so a backwards path into the Presidency is better than no path at all.

Good point.

"the people" are not a majority of primary voters (a group who when you reflect on it aren't really representative of "the people" so much as "the people who happen to care about identifying in any way with a particular political party"), which raises the issue of compromise among pluralities, which is what JUB is pointing out to you. It's democracy, just a more complex process than you or most of us 'merkins are used to thinking about

It's getting ugly out there. This is today's Republican party.

LMAO.

What it looked like was any home Philadelphia team sporting event for the past 30 years.

You have a malcontent getting ejected and giving everyone the finger and mouthing off and some guy gets up and takes a swing at him. I've literally seen that happen 20+ times at Eagles, Flyers or Phillies games.

You throw a punch or get violent you go to jail. Doesn't matter if it's at a political event or a sporting event.

Brantt, I generally give you the benefit of the doubt. Heck, I even think you get a raw deal sometimes in the PSU thread, but this is just complete and utter nonsense. Please tell me you aren't comparing a political event involving the likely GOP nominee to a drunken sporting event. The standard HAS TO be higher than that.

What would you think if this was happening in Russia or North Korea or China? Would you really think it wasn't a big deal that one of the two most likely people to rule the country is throwing out hate speech and inciting violence towards "outsiders" based on skin color, religion, and political affiliation. It's nuts. It's fascism. And I don't mean the overused way fascism is usually used. I mean genuine fascism. It's disgusting.

I respectfully disagree. You are going way overboard.

Brantt's total lack of self awareness is the best thing on this board right now.

Brantt has views that are not in compliance with the BSG vibe.

And you need those.

I think it's a legitimate question. What would you think if you saw that happening in another country?

This looks really bad when you're looking at it from outside and you're not a Trump supporter. The concerns are legitimate.

Oh Hillary...no no no girl.

"It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s. And because of both President and Mrs. Reagan -- in particular Mrs. Reagan -- we started a national conversation. When before nobody would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it, and that too is something that I really appreciate with her very effective, low key advocacy but it penetrated the public conscious and people began to say, 'Hey, we have to do something about this too.'"
