Hard to get elected president when your platform would require ruling by Fiat, which doesn’t happen in this country. Even that guy with the combover is willing to admit that he’ll need to work with congress.
OMG Politics, I'm over it already.

I, for one, welcome our alien overlords and hope that their reign is both long and just. May they start wars that never end and build monuments untouched by the jabby finger of entropy.

As the article points out, we were in this very place in 2008 and ultimately Obama beat out Clinton. It would be quite the hat trick for it to happen again, but you never know.

Rubio's endorsement is a big deal to whoever gets it because, presumably, they'll get his 168 delegates. If they go to Kasich, it gives him a bit over 300, which keeps him viable, if not likely.
If they go to Cruz, it puts him within spitting distance of Trump.
I bet dollars to donuts that Cruz is courting Rubio as VP at this very moment.

I agree. I still think it may come down to a contested convention with a GOP backed 3rd candidate, which will be a disaster for them. They can't back Trump, and they can't win with a divided GOP.
Political theater at it's both finest and lowest.

Problem is, Cruz and Rubio personally dislike each other...a lot. They have not been bros in the Senate. They had a very real personal animosity on the campaign trail. And being VP is a shitty job. I wouldn't rule out pure spite preventing any kind of mutually beneficial bromance.

Do you think Bernie is really going to win California? Do you think the party-loyal super delegates are going to turn on the Clinton machine? These are VERY UNLIKELY OUTCOMES.

Yeah no way. Bernie's best chance was the rust belt, and NE.
Where he honestly did really good, but not good enough to stop machina.

I appreciated Bernie's stances, although they're kinda wishy washy half measures vs my plans for tribunals, guillotines, and ye olde drugs, guns, and fucking in the streets. I voted for him. I knew he wasn't a viable candidate in a national contest. It felt good to support him. But he was a protest candidate, and I was suspicious of him given his popularity amongst the brunchy millennial crowd. His "revolution" made as much sense as Occupy.
I fear somewhere where my soul should be that President Trump makes too much cosmic sense. We must pay for our sins. And Lord Saturn the Most Cruel has a bitter sense of humor. I hope it's a classy gulag. See you there if he doesn't just nuke Detroit outright.
It isn't like Rubio likes Trump any better, and Trump has the luxury of naming whateverr VP he wants - he doesn't need any of the dropouts' support. Besides, if Rubio doesn't get the VP spot, his career is over - he didn't even carry his home state. Cruz is young enough, and relatively popular enough that being VP now would mean a good shot at the presidency in 2024.

Trump warns of riots if denied the GOP nomination. 
God help every human being if this jackass were to actually become president. His supporters already feel they are untouchable.

Cruz is going to be done politically too; he's tremendously unpopular with everyone he works with... when GWB doesn't even like you you've got to be a real shit head. He built his campaign (both in Congress and his Presidential one) on being an obstructionist that wants to block government powers and that doesn't play well with a lot of his non-Tea Party compatriots.
