Kasich and Rubio remaining is for the good of the party, so that they don't end up with Trump or Cruz as a candidate.

Isn't it almost guaranteed to be either Trump or Cruz that gets the nom?

This is going to be amazing guys. Amazing.
If neither gets a majority before the convention, anything can happen. There are a couple of rules to who exactly can be chosen, but it doesn't have to be Cruz or Trump.

If it comes to that, voters are going to be pissed off and the Republican is almost definitely going to lose the election.
It might be better than imploding through Trump.

Kasich and Rubio won't have enough primary wins to be eligible. It will only be Cruz and Trump in the pool unless they change the rules at the last minute.

Nah, he and Kasich are in this 'til the bitter end, since they'd rather hedge their bets on a brokered convention than let either Hitler or The Zodiac Killer win.
I'm also noticing Fox is opening up more and more to Cruz. They're all losing hope in Rubio.

Where are Rubio and Kasich getting the 8 wins to even be considered at a brokered convention?
Let's dispel the fiction that Trump can't keep getting away with it; he can definitely keep getting away with it.

Incredible OP as usual.

I honestly believe if they pulled that, Cruz would blow himself up and tell his delegates to vote for Trump.
He seems to not want any sort of convention back room deals going on, and wants to either win or lose the traditional way. He's said as much a few times.

I'm gonna pick up a fifth on the way home I think. Maybe a bottle of wine?
They would just need to get those after the first round fails to produce a winner, no? At that point, the delegates would be free to choose for themselves.

After the first round, assuming they don't change the rules, only those who have 8 or more wins are eligible. So it would only be Trump and Cruz, as Rubio and Kasich have no chance to get 8 wins by the convention. I think Rubio has 2 and will probably drop out next week, Kasich has 0, but might win a few eventually (but not 8).

Rubio will be desperate tonight, expect many many cheap shots at Trump, and everyone will ignore Kasich as usual

Kasich will remind everyone of that time he worked with that guy that one time to do that thing that won that award.
Then he'll mention something about how jolly gee willikers of a dang honest nice guy he is, be called out on it by the moderator for running hate ads against whoever, and then say "Yea, I'm not going to address that, sorry" and then awkwardly laugh.
Repeat 3-5 times and there's Kasich's entire debate.

I'm not so sure. Internal polling found that his support collapsed once he started in with that shit, and he has even said several times in recent days that he regrets going there. My prediction is that he will try to do what he can to salvage his political future. He knows he isn't going to be the nominee.

Kasich can't go up against Trump.
Kasich has ran his entire campaign as being the moderate, nice, non confrontational candidate.
Getting in a shouting match with Trump would destroy that, and every time you address Trump it's a shouting match.

Every single time.
Giant tropical centipedes share their territories with tarantulas. Despite it's impressive length, it's a nimble navigator, and some can be highly venomous. As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it's killing, the centipede has two curved hollow fangs which inject paralyzing venom.

If that happens Trump will certainly run as an independent regardless of what he said at the last debate. There is a difference between someone else winning the actual primaries, and the convention choosing somebody who doesn't have the majority of the votes.
If they actually choose someone that isn't Trump or Cruz, Trump will run as an independent and they will lose the entire election.

Ah... I think it would break the GOP if they don't go with Trump if he is close to winning
I don't like this.
