Hillary would love it and so would SNL and The Daily Show and The Nightly Show and Last Week and Bill Maher. Your party is fucked dude. Neither Trump or Ted are going to come anywhere close to either Romney or McCain but adding Palin to the ticket, HA, that would be like trying to keep the Titanic afloat with barbells.
Kasich is your only hope and he wont get the nomination.
Kasich is the dumbest politician in America, and that's saying a lot. The Repub bigwigs are in love with the Cuban Canadian commie. They are stealing the nomination for him.
They certainly aren't in love with Cruz. Near as I can tell, they don't even like the son-of-a-bitch. But dim as his general election prospects are, they are betting that he would prove more electable than Trump -- a low bar, to be sure.
Trump or Cruz. This is what forty years of pandering to Southern conservative bigots (the former Dixiecrats), conservative Christian assholes, Ayn Rand fanboys, modern-day Know Nothings, and corporate America will get you in the end: a freak show about a once proud and substantive party splintering before our eyes. It's beautiful. The GOP richly deserves every bit of it.
