What makes him think he's second in line to the throne anyways

I don't think there's any indication that he does.

if saner heads prevail and the convention manages to dump Trump, they absolutely need to go with Ted Cruz.  He is second in delegates.  He is a true conservative and he has not put a foot wrong.

If it gets to the point of dumping Trump, the number of delegates pretty much ceases to matter (after all, they'd have dumped the guy with the most delegates).

The problem with Cruz is that he's not a winning candidate -- ideological purity ("strict consitutionalist," if you will) aside, he comes across as oily and opportunistic, and that won't play well with the broader electorate.  Nor can I see Cruz being a compromise candidate (which any non-Trump candidate would have to be). 

Kasich has all along been positioning himself for the role of "compromise candidate," which is pretty much the only reason he stayed in the race, and it's not unreasonable that he could emerge as such.

But all of this depends on whether or not the delegates of the Republican Convention are lemmings.  I'm afraid that there will be more than enough lemmings available to nominate Trump.

PPP poll just came out showing Trump and Hillary tied in PA. I know it might be the "Bernie effect" but the judge thing doesn't seem to be hurting Trump, amazing. Maybe orange has some sort of anti-gaffe powers that we aren't aware of yet!

Trump has had anti-gaffe powers all along, but it is too early for the fallout to be reflected in polls.

I could support Scott Walker if he ran, but I'm doubtful that he could win.

Let's imagine the delegates vote their conscience. . . .. . who should the candidate be?  Not a RINO.  And, while I am a Cruz guy, not Cruz, either.  Damaged goods at the moment. 

Who?  Who is liked and respected by all sides?  Quirky?  Constitutionally conservative?  An outsider?

Rand Paul.

That's who they should go for.

No its there and like all the other attacks on him the People are smarter then the media, Democrats and #neverTrump. See its liberals who use the race card. And the anti PC-crowd is sick of the liberal's Race card. Besides the Judge is not a victim, hes the racist and is in the wrong.

Look, I like Cruz. I voted for Rubio but like Cruz. Cruz was praising Donald up until December though. That makes me think he has judgement issues.

Very faint praise at the most.

I could vote for Rand.  The issue I have with the guy is that his face always looks pinched and a bit sour.  At the debates, he frequently came off as angry.  He'd have to work on that to appeal to the general electorate.

I would vote for a random person out of any given phone book before Trump.

Unreasonable post. What if the random guy you pick is named Khaled Mashaal? I'm sure he would welcome your support. Anyone who thinks that Trump is the worst thing that could ever possibly happen to America, has no idea of all the things that are out there which are far worse.

I would support Walker or Cruz, but I still think Trump has the best chance to beat Hillary. He is old, but he is rich, media, and new-media, savvy and he is seen as a cool-cat-daddy'o about town. Hillary is seen, even by most Democrats, as a frail, out of touch, Grandma, figure.

I would also like to compliment the posters on this thread for their restraint and thoughtful posts. Most people are throwing poop at each other by now, on page three. lol

And Trump is seen by most people as a loon.  Given the choice between the two.... well, there's no good choice.

No matter who wins, the result is a disaster for America, and in turn, the world.

Trump has turned me from an optimist into a pessimist.  I don't think the Republic survives either his or Hillary's election.

If any Substitutions happen it will not be for anybody you guys want, It will be PURE Establishment like Bush. No Cruz, no Walker, no anybody you want. There are not enough Cruz delegates to do anything now. Most are GOPe

Looks like we got Mech thinking about this........  hehehe

I read Walker's book.

He has been such a hard public worker; I think on some issues, he's a bit inexperienced especially per foreign affairs. He wasn't ready this last time. I think this story is mainly puff; I can't see the convention deciding for him.

But I'd vote for him.

Actually Walker is pretty well-liked by the establishment. He has the record of reform without {fixed} the record of alienating everyone in his own party. As a consensus candidate he could make a strong case if the situation arises.

Anyway, Walker's willingness to be a convention pick has been known for quite some time, about as long as he's been out of the actual primary race, actually.

That was my preferred ticket, too (Cruz/Walker).
