I don't think Trump's winning the nomination is even remotely a foregone conclusion. The party machine will pull out all the stops to prevent that, including a brokered convention if it comes down to crunch time. They know a Trump nomination is a loser in the general election. The real question for me is whether Trump reneges on his promise not to run as a third-ticket independent if he doesn't get the nomination. Regardless, he's fucked the GOP but good!
I'm still picking that empty suit Rubio to win the nomination through whatever chicanery the party bosses deem necessary. If that proves to be the case, his smart pick for running mate, in my opinion, is Kasich, who would bring executive experience to the ticket. Besides, the GOP would then sport a ticket representing two crucial swing states: Florida and Ohio.
Clinton will definitely get the nomination, and that presents an interesting spectacle. Will she move left with her choice for running mate to appease the Sanders supporters (I'm thinking Warren here), or does she go with someone closer to her ideologically, at the risk of alienating the most passionate wing of the party?
