    I had to watch Bing Bang Theory on DVR with my wife. She said she would divorce me if I watched 1 more minute of CNN.

    Cruz has a pretty big lead in Idaho, it's just 3% of votes though.

    I believe that Trump will get more delegates but won't get the nomination in a "brokered" convention. So for all you Trump supporters: would you vote Hillary, Brokered republican or abstain?

    Btw I have no idea who would get the nod. Cruz seems pretty unliked in the party and Rubio polls better in the national but is a far distant 3rd in the primaries. Paul Ryan maybe?

    I'd be curious to see the numbers from the same respondents had they flipped the switch to have the questions read "it's ok to enter Mexico illegally, etc."

    Probably would be interpreted as somehow being racist...

    So many millions of people choosing the outsiders of Trump and Cruz would be ignored and they will be okay with that?

    This convention talk is just fantasy among the GOP elite.

    I don't know if they will be ok with that, hence my question.

    If Trump doesn't get half of delegates from the primaries it will be a brokered convention, that's just how it works. You'd hope they candidate with the most delegates gets the nomination but he will need to do some by getting a commitment form delegates pledges to someone else.

    That will be the death of the party. Who is going to bother to vote next time if people see an unsupported Rubio, Romney, or Ryan picked as the nominee. Might as well just do away with the entire nomination process.

    Hillary would win in a historic landslide and she's terrible

    Here in Miami too...more importantly, she didn't go to Robot...Robot must have tried hard for her endorsement (useless as it may be) just for the media coverage and to stop the campaign death march.

    The Robot is done. Now all these #NeverTrump people will start jumping on the Cruz train.

    But... do they really want Cruz to win or are they just using him to stop Trump and get to a brokered convention where they would screw Cruz over as well?

    Probably kind too late for that...They should have sucked it up a few weeks ago and gone all in with Cruz but he too is an outsider candidate. Probably had a better chance to control him if he become President than Trump...

    New polls for both OH/FL show that Trump is doing well and both are winner take all.

    she seemed like a Trump person to me. I thought she'd even be his potential running mate.
