LOL even Obama knows Trump is going to roll come November.

Reports he's considering EXTREMELY Pro-Second Amendment and EXTREMELY Pro-Tenth Amendment REPUBLICAN Brian Sandoval as his nominee.

Literally the only bone thrown to his own party/base would be Sandoval's pro-choice stance. On a court that was already majority GOP for 45 years and never once banned abortion. They have upheld some restrictions, the types of restrictions Sandoval supports. Mayeb gay marriage. Sandoval was anti-gay marriage but pro "civil union" but now considers the issue "settled law" since SCOTUS has weighed in.

DO IT Obama. Nominate this guy. We'll take him. We'll find a Scalia type later to replace Ginsburg. Because in the end, you simply . . . .

I heard someone say that Trump's V.P. as Mark Cuban was an outside bet.
Edit: Also, Trump is doing just fine as a one-man show; what if he just chooses someone boring as like an admission that having a V.P. is just a technical accessory that goes along with the whole Trump package.

Kasich has previously said that he is not interested in the VP.

But it's also true that, very briefly, the Kasich campaign was supposed to be the vehicle to take down Trump and die on its own sword under Trump's withering, relentless retaliation.

So who even knows? He's malleable and his campaign has featured at least some level of establishment loyalty.

It's funny watching foxnews be completely bewildered by Rubes gameplan. 'So.... you're going to ignore Donald and continue with the strategy that has got you nowhere'.

They sound stupid, it is getting him somewhere, look at the endorsement chart they just showed. I bet you he as a bunch more to slowly trickle out over the next week too. He can't very well just come out and say "Look I'm in this now to be the last not-Trump standing and I'm not attacking Trump until I'm sure I have the full backing of the mainstream GOP when I do it."

He's a bad candidate but at this point I think he as the best and most feasible strategy of anyone other that Trump.

No, he's deliberately sandbagging his own campaign because he soils himself in terror every night at the prospect of standing up to God Emperor Trump or Hillary in a general election. He never wanted this, but his party will never forgive him if he withdraws.

Vote Trump to free Marco Rubio from a nightmare he never wished for.

How are a bunch of establishment endorsements going to help Rubio win the voters who are siding with Trump and Cruz specifically because they're tired of said establishment?

I wonder what's going on. Health/family issues? I'd think, despite this being non-ideal conditions, Rubio would take this opportunity to at least try to win now that he has essentially the full support of the establishment backing him up (as useless as it has been).

Or maybe he's giving up because he knows he's in rough shape to win the nom and is instead trying to grab Trump's VP slot.
