I saw this tweet from a reporter a few hours ago and immediately thought of the time where PoliGAF discussed the "endorsements=antiendorsements" phenomenon for this GOP cycle..

Question: Will an Establishment Republican 3rd party candidate emerge if Trump continues to dominate?

Not tonight. Neither of them were counting on Nevada. Nobody was.
Look at Super Tuesday.
MSNBC showing raw vote count. 2 votes for Jeb Bush.

Kasich has no reason to drop out because he hasn't campaigned at all in SC and NV. He's looking to stick until Super Tuesday or his home state Ohio primaries.
lolno.
Establishment cannot go third party. That will cut off RNC funding.

No way is Carson dropping out. He's got a debate to go to on Thursday.
I don't really see Kasich dropping out either. He has stronger states coming up.

Kasich hasnt spent any money in Nevada so probably not, I think.
Ben Carson is off in lala land.
Super Tuesday is when people start dropping.

Supreme Leader Trump looks to win by blowout as expected.
The fuhrer is rising.
No.
The establishment is invested in the party, many of them owe their livelihood to it.
They might focus on down ballot candidates and maybe try to lowkey distance themselves from Trump, but really, it all depends on polling, the real problem they have with Trump is that they think he's unelectable.

Carson is just in it just to get free publicity by being in the Debates. Once they stop inviting him he will drop.

It just set in for me. Trump is going to be the GOP nominee. Cruz might compete in Texas. Rubio might compete in Florida. But all the rest of the states are Trumps with him getting about 50%.

CNN said earlier that Trump is actually currently leading in polls in Texas. I mean, if he pulls that off, it has to be done, right?

It's over for Cruz since that's his home state. And if he can't win his home state, then he's fucked.

If Trump wins in Texas it's a Done deal.
It's going to be Trump v Clinton
If Cruz can't carry his home state he should drop.
I'm in Texas and I'm voting for whoever isn't Cruz out of spite. I friggin hate Cruz.

Maybe if Rubio drops. I guess. I don't know. It would probably take a two man race for Cruz to get 51%.
Also, Fox News hasn't been back on air in the last 7 minutes. They are freaking out. They went to break at 10:57 central time.
It's ridiculous that a xenophobic zealot who has bankrupted numerous times is somehow an actual nominee for President in this country. Land of opportunity (for rich white people), I guess.
I bet the first presidential debates will be at 35 million viewers.

If he's bankrupted multiple times and yet manages to stay and become richer, that speaks for his ability to make money atleast.

Told you guys don't follow this idiot. Remember how he was saying all the big crowds mean good news for Bernie!!11 Hopefully we don't have to hear from him for the next 4 years.

I know right. He ran with a racist campaign and it resonated with the GOP as they have a Canadate that is openly racist.

Im watching their internet stream and it hasn't come back on.
It's pretty much done now. The concrete might still be wet but Trump v Clinton '16 is what's written on the slab.
It stopped being funny months ago.
His wealth is, IIRC, around 40% lower than if he had simply invested in the S&P and done fuck all.
He doesn't get brownie points for making investment decisions with returns below the market rate.

They having heart attacks over Trump winning.
Well, Fox has no clue what to do with Trump and his popularity. They spent a good almost two decades cultivating a voter base who would actually support the insane shit he spews and now that they support him and not their talking head candidates, they're terrified. They don't want what they actually support to be so out in the open and they can't control Trump. Part of me would be quite tinkled pink if this puts the final nail in this party that has been ruining our country for decades now.
They can't control what has happened and the party itself has already become insanely fractured because of their own propaganda campaigns. They also aren't gaining any momentum from new voters as they are all largely democrat and support the leftist views on numerous social and economic issues. Their party is dying and they are absolutely horrified at the prospect of that happening. It's happened before, the Federalist party went from being huge to never having a presence again very very quickly.
It has less to do with his ability to make money and more to do with sheer dumb luck and bullying people til he gets his way. Sometimes pretty much breaking the law while doing so.
Well, it's not surprising it resonated with the GOP exactly. Fox has cultivated racism for almost two decades now. Fox is just pissed they have no control over Trump and that he's actually speaking out loud what they actually believe.
