and Trump is a mediocre businessman who received an ethical bypass at birth. What's your point?

Not sure how updated it is but realclearpolitics takes the average of all polls and trump is losing to both Hillary and Bernie.

Because "LOUD NOISES!!!!" isn't the #1 thing I look for in a candidate?

I think there's too many unions in Ohio working on their employees over Kasich. Seems every time I turn around I hear somebody saying "union-buster SOB" or some such. That's all they care about. They don't want to know what he's done that benefits Ohio, they just fear and despise him.

If it comes to that, and if the GOP establishment is against Trump that much, anyone agreeing to run with him as VP would likely be committing political suicide. I only see Cruz or someone that's not a current candidate willing to take that gamble

Kasich leading clinton by 17% in Ohio; even with Trump in primary.

People keep saying Kasich needs to get out but it seems to me the only way to stop Trump at this point might be for Kasich to win Ohio, a winner take all state, and hope it prevents Trump from getting enough delegates and shoot for a brokered convention where the GOP brass could craft the winning ticket against the will of the voters - Kasich/Rubio.

I'd rather the will of the voters prevail...even if/when it's in direct opposition to my beliefs.

No doubt; if only he had started a money-laundering operation years ago; I mean a foundation.

That's certainly something Mr. Sanders and I can agree on... although I don't know if he'd adhere to this premise if the voters were completely against his positions. I do. That's really the only time that proof is available on such a statement.

I really don't think Kasich has a chance in Ohio.

He will lose to Clinton, quite possibly with more votes in the primaries. Party of the people my ass.

Well, before we crown Sanders let's see how he does in the mainstream states after we get out of the wackjob primaries of Iowa, NH and NV.

The establishment hates Trump and Cruz. If in a brokered convention those two finish 1 & 2 in the delegate count and the GOP brass finds a way to nominate another candidate there will be mass desertions of any popular support. The democrat candidate would be a lock.

If Rubio loses in his home state of Florida he is toast. As a viable presidential candidate and a vice presidential prospect.
