Donald Trump won Michigan over both Ted Cruz and John Kasich who had a very tight battle for second place. Marco Rubio was of no consequence in Michigan, Mississippi, Idaho, or Hawaii. In a word, Bubble Boy is done and in reality has been ‘done’ since Chris Christie and Trump decided to put him away. I would assume Rubio will go through March 15th as a favorite son candidate in Florida and then suspend his candidacy unless he pulls off a miracle in the Sunshine State which had close to a million voters taking advantage of the early voting procedure.
Kasich finished with 25% of the GOP votes in Michigan, but has already stated if he doesn’t win in Ohio on March 15th he will be done as well. So much for being qualified, smart, well mannered, and inclusive. Maybe it would have been different for Kasich if he’d named one of the Kardashians as his running mate. Don’t laugh.
So in essence, this would leave Trump and Ted Cruz as the only remaining canidates still battling to reach the magic number of 1,237 delegates at the GOP Convention in Cleveland.
There has been some talk of the GOP establishment trying to broker the convention so as they don’t have a spoiled, petulant brat as their candidate, but from my thinking in doing this they would severely damage their own party even if it would be a noble gesture for the country and humanity.
I just don’t see this happening. But here’s the way it’s done if at some point Trump’s behavior between and now and the convention becomes irrational to the point the same people who created Sarah Palin decide it’s time to pull the plug on Donald Trump. But of course we know that won’t happen. But still.
