Whoever Trump's VP pick is will be fairly unimpressive and bland since I don't think his ego is going to let him pick anyone who could take the spotlight away from him.

Trump names himself for VP.

im sorta convinced that trump wants the prestige of old money, but doesnt fundamentally get how they got that prestige

This is from quite a few pages ago but my understanding of how the "old money" East Coast elite system works is that to even get a foot in the door you have to be third generation rich and Trump is forever excluded because his father was the one who made the fortune.

The Mormons are natural elitists, wary of anti-immigration policies due to their missionary work and make good CIA agents. If anyone is gonna plot a coup d'etat at the convention like Trump was Mohammad Morsi it'll be them.

LOL at Ryan and lol at the media for not asking the obvious questions. If Ryan is already talking about policies that are racist and he would loving sue over with his party why should we support that guy? Like you may disagree with HIllary but she's not proposing things you're already admitting are loving illegal.

Kendal Unruh, a Republican delegate from Colorado, says that their plan is to stop Trump from becoming the nominee first and then hoping the delegates can then pick a consensus non-Trump candidate afterward.

“This literally is an ‘Anybody but Trump’ movement,” he told the Post. “Nobody has any idea who is going to step in and be the nominee, but we’re not worried about that. We’re just doing that job to make sure that he’s not the face of our party.”

He didn't notice that the poll he tweeted about was over a month old so there's no way he's going to pick up on the rest.

I think there's a solid chance the GOP nominee this year has never even been on a debate stage in a presidential election. If they unbind the delegates they can propose whoever they want. You could get Gen. Mattis storming the halls to Enter Sandman blasting. It could be anyone.

If they make him the face of the party, they're locked into their own lovely demographic situation for a generation+. If they oust him, the bleeding stops relatively quickly. They're holding off because they're terrified of change, but I wonder if they're eventually going to realize that they have to change no matter what happens, so they may as well pick the quickest healing wound

A couple of weeks ago I would have said, no way will they replace Trump at the convention, it'll enrage too many of his supporters. But now... I mean, they certainly must know by now that they can't win if they run Trump. So if it's a choice between Guaranteed Loser A and Guaranteed Loser B, they might decide it's worth it to dispose of Trump now, while they still have one more chance, before he whips his dick out on live TV or punches a woman square in the face or something.

I mean can you imagine being a GOP leader and facing the prospect of five more months of this?

Sure, you could just make up a spongy metric like enthusiasm or confidence per voter, or a really narrow category question like "who is most likely to immediately respond to an insult from a foreign diplomat?", and you have Trump winning.
