It looks like a foregone conclusion unless both Rubio and Kasich both pull off upsets.
If that happens, they might all be there at the convention.

At this point it's a forgone conclusion that Trump will be the nominee. Cruz is just there hoping for hope. In the end, thanks to Trump and the deep division in the GOP, Clinton will be President in 2017. Looking at the two parties so far, the DNC has held it together for the most part and played the game the same way Bellechik would on the gridiron. The RNC on the other hand looked like Dallas. Confused, mismanaged, big ego's, pretty trinkets, lots of bravado and no substance. This is leading to where the RNC is even bringing out the "big guns" against the....candidates in their own party. What is that telling the GOP faithful? I use memes a lot, but in this specific case, Ali IS the Dems and Romo is what's left of the GOP. It's accurate in the way people see what is going on.

I have a hunch that the GOP will not nominate Trump because the GOP can not control him, Cruz because he is not born in the USA, Rubio because he has poor presentation, therefore it falls to the last Great White Hope Kasich.

I have been saying since August, that the GOP ticket in Nov would be Trump/Cruz. I see no reason to change my mind now.
Whoever it is, I will vote for them, because this year I am voting my ABCs;
Anybody
But
Clinton
Sanders

PFC Alexander Oliveira Realistically, only Trump and Rubio have a chance to get the required delegate count to be the nominee without a brokered convention. If that occurs, I think that Cruz will get the Republican nod, as Trump will not have the required support of the Republican establishment. If that occurs, it may drive Trump to mount a third party campaign, which would probably guarantee Hillary Clinton the election (unless she is indicted).

Chuckles the clown.
Every straight-man in comedy needs a fall guy, and the three left after Trump are just TOO whiney to fill that position.

I suspect it will be Trump and Cruz. Trump has the more moderate GOP voters, independents, conservative Democrats, and those voters in the ugly underbelly of the party. Cruz has the hardline conservatives and the Libertarian-leaning voters. They both split the evangelicals. That doesn't leave very much else for an establishment Republicans. The country club set and the neocons just aren't enough votes to get anyone else to the top. The establishment will be shut out, and it will be interesting to see if/how they try to exert their preferences. Will they try to steal it from Trump or Cruz, or will they try to align with one of the two? It will be interesting to see unfold.
