Rubio is already making that case but this would make it explicit enough for most democrat voters to get it. Bernie voters are already going to pick Trump over Hillary.

BDNYC said...3/2/16, 6:54 AM<br /><br /><i> If you want to stop Trump, then Rubio and Kasich need to stay in the race at least for the sake of Florida and Ohio. </i><br /><br />Yes. I wonder what kind of idiots want Kasich to drop out. Rubio and kasich should cross endorse each other in their respective home states.<br /><br /><i> Also, the Donald has won about 37% across the board. DO NOT LET HIM WIN A MAJORITY. </i><br /><br />He's won about 37% of the vote, but 45% of the delegates so far. The winner take all states are really important. And Donald Trump really needs to be kept below 43% of the delegates.<br /><br />In 1976 and 1992 the Democrats did not run a stop-Carter and stop-Clinton campaign and they were able to gte the nomination with around 37% of the delegates. It won't be like that this timer. In 1972, the stop=McGovern movement was too weak. That was the forst time calls for "party unity" were heard.<br /><br />I think the Republican Party may be doomed to split no matter how things go. The key therefore, is to split the Democratic party, too.<br /><br />Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-82933484943974731762016-03-02T11:03:27.792-06:002016-03-02T11:03:27.792-06:00Brando said...3/2/16, 6:08 AM
