Why would Rubio drop out? His whole strategy now is to place second or third everywhere, get a brokered convention, then be crowned king by the party.

No rule that says they have to pick one of the candidates that was running. Maybe they draft Paul Ryan again.

Trump gave a surprisingly decent speech.  Even said a couple nice things about Cruz.

Yep. And it was obviously improvised since he referenced things that are still happening. Dude is good I have to admit.

Still cannot forgive his destruction of the greatest Spring football league in American history though.

I spoke too soon.  In talking about the general election, he said, "We're gonna do great with the African-Americans..."  :pinch:

Just imagine Obama's face when he's standing next to Trump at the Capitol during inauguration next year.

"THIS man is my successor??? Jesus christ"  :lol:

Then he'll know how Dubya felt.

Yeah the way it boils down Trump is still going to get a bunch of delegates from Okieland and Texas.

Only a few thousand votes counted in Minnesota so far.  Don't get too excited yet.

Vermont, on the other hand, has 72% of precincts reporting.  Kasich is trailing Trump by less than 600 votes.  :o

I suspect he'll have time to compose himself in the two and a half months between election and inauguration.   :(

How do the delegates work in Minnesota? If it is close it may not matter much who actually wins. Everybody was freaking out that Cruz won Mobilehoma but he only ended up with two more delegates than Trump.

Clinton has won Mass.

Looks like Sanders is going to win Minnesota and Colorado though.

LOL after Trump said nice things about Cruz, Cruz basically called him Satan in his speech.

I'm sure the GOP voters would love that.
Might as well nominate Reagan's corpse and concede the election to Hillary.
