I wonder how great the state rights will be haha, that's the rub, isn't it? States Rights folk usually have little to no idea just how integral federal funds are to a lean state budget. It's an ideological nightmare!  | ||

The way it works is that at if no-one gets 1237 delegates, which Trump might not get if he loses Ohio, all delegates are unbound and can vote for anyone (granted the candidates have done the leg-work). That's how the establishment aims to reassert themselves. | ||

The establishment would burn every bridge and theoretical GOP supporter who main vote was against established corruption, only to say hey you were right now vote for us. | ||

Kasich winning Ohio is terrible for Trump as he's now much closes to as contested convention. Whether Kasich or Cruz get in each other's way in the future remains to be seen. | ||

Kasich winning Ohio isn't good for Trump provided Rubio is out of the way. Kasich can plausibly grab some proportional delegates, maybe go all in on a few states, and make the path to a majority brutal for Trump. And where before Kasich/Rubio were squeaking under thresholds in some states, the overlap between Kasich/Cruz voters is virtually nil. | ||

I can't even imagine what a Trump-Clinton debate will look like. yeah this really is shaping up to be the most horrible day ever for Bernie. He probably needs around 280 delegates to be on par with his recent good performances but losing all 5 would be horrible. No idea how the math works but I doubt it gets even close to that lol | ||

As for the brokered convention, the Republican Party is fucked either way. Either they send Trump up as the nominee or they send somebody else up, splintering the party. Either way, you deal catastrophic damage to the party. | ||
