It still sounds like a really bad strategy for "the establishment" to force a brokered convention if they cared about the health of the republican party, no matter who the candidate is.
But then again "the establishment" isn't really an organized entity with singular goal right now. It's just a bunch of individual actors doing what's in their individual interest. So it's easy to see Romney, Kasich, and Rubio aiming for a brokered convention with no one to stop them.
Oh my god.

Kasich is doing pretty well in northern KY, I wonder if pushes Rubio to 4th.

You know people keep assuming Trump is going to clean up among white voters but like, think of the average moderate, middle-class suburban white voter. Somewhat religious, would like a good tax cut but are nowhere near the 1% and with an aversion towards excessively negative politicking. Imagine they talk with a Minnesotan accent.
Think of how Romney, at least on paper is tailor made for this constituency.
Now think of Trump.
Hillary will win college-educated whites.

also, wonder what this means for 10 days from now
Probably that Kasich and Rubio cannibalize themselves.

Lawrence O'Donnell is really the worst. He's absolutely the worst.
Mass was all that mattered until Bernie lost it...now Kansas is what matters because he won it.

I'm not sure what implications it would have, Rubio obviously isn't winning Ohio.

Also claiming a win in Nebraska on twitter. Not sure if reported.
But basically as expected.
More interesting is what happens in net delegates.

Is he the opposite of Chris Mathews this cycle? Mathews has been slamming Bernie for months.
It's still not great for Kasich that Rubio is in double digits in those counties.
Well that's unsurprising. We all know that the map hugely favorable to Bernie. Hillary can literally only win in the south and literally every southern state has already voted.
Also, it's hard to campaign from jail, which is where I assume she currently lives.

Between Trump's overall weakness and Kasich over-performing in the border areas I think it points to Big Johnny taking OH.

Imagine how big they would be if dixiecrats could vote. Rand Paul really screwed Trump over today.

red states dont matter tho
Louisiana is going to wipe it out so I say no change.

Trump's global warming denial is even stronger than Cruz's.
He definitely would have won Oklahoma if that were the case.
Kasich got 25% of the vote in Campbell county (Cincinnati metro area). Ohio might be close.
might be? its going to be.

I would expect Kasich to outperform Trump in suburban areas like Campbell county, though Trump is beating him there.
It'll definitely be close.

As much as I dislike Cruz, I find it a little disheartening that we're harping on something so embarrassingly involuntary during a major national event on TV.
It feels a little low, guys/gals, and honestly it isn't necessary for attacking Cruz.

He won't win Louisiana.
It'll be interesting to see how close it is. The "winner" doesn't matter as much as the margin (except to Lawrence O'Donnell).

Trump is up 12 on Cruz and Kasich has caught up to Rubio in Kentucky.
Will Rubio drop out after Florida?

I mean, Louisiana isn't a caucus.
Data from Steve Kornacki:
-Good news but a bit of a reality check
-Kansas: 37 delegates
-Nebraska: 25
-Louisiana: 51
-Let's say Bernie gets net margins of 10 in Kansas, 8 in Nebraska....so 180 net delegate gap. But Queen, if she continues to perform at current levels in LA, will wipe out Bernie's delegates gain
I guess he said nothing actually.

He did spend a lot of energy to piss on bernie's parade

If Rubio was really serious about #NeverTrump he would drop out #tomorrow and support #Cruz.

It took a closed system where people couldn't vote for Trump!
