US 2016 Presidential Election Discussion Thread

Someone has to emerge as the sole alternative to Trump. And with probably a larger portion of the vote, and I'd much rather that be Kasich. Rubio has become almost as annoying as Cruz, so even looking at it that way, we're back to Kasich.

Should we move all this to a Presidential election thread as to not bog down this one?

Moving stuff in here from "what are you thinking..." from RBP's suggestion

I can see why you'd want Kasich. The guy seems like the only adult who doesn't want to sling insults and play 'he-said-she-said' at the debates, and would rather talk about policy. With only 6% of delegates to Trump's 27% and Cruz's 19% does the guy have a shot at coming from behind? Or does any Rebulican have a chance of stopping Trump's momentum at this point?

Haven't been following the Republican primary closely but it is sounding like Trump has run away with it already no?

Assuming the Cruz and Rubio votes are from Repubs that do not want to vote Trump, I think the only shot Kasich has is if those two drop out. Or if Trump does something so outrageous he is forced out.

But you have some states coming up. Ohio and Florida are winner take all.

He's currently leading but it's still an open contest.

Cruz has taken Kansas.

False. It's a bogus meme. He never said that.
