I feel the same way. I still haven't had anyone give me an acceptable answer to the question of, "What has the GOP done for me (us) lately." I have no motivation to vote for the GOP appointed nominee.In the other thread, someone proposed that Kasich may be the Party Elite's choice for candidate. That may be why he's still in.
I'll find a third party candidate I can support to vote for if the GOP elite jimmy the convention to make someone the candidate that didn't win but a single state (or none). I'm tired of getting the elite's crap for candidates and having to vote against someone rather than for someone I really like.
Two weeks too late. Ah, hubris.Rubio suspends campaign.
Kasich wins Ohio. On to a contested convention!
Where Jeb Bush will be shoved down our throats!
The problem with a national popular vote is that 3-4 of the most populous states will determine who is president. We're talking California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Three of those tend to lean liberal, so you see how that would play out.

I agree with you. Since the electoral college is based upon the number of congressional districts there are, then the candidate with the most votes received in a district should receive that electoral college vote.Agreed, but the way it is now, a third party candidate has no chance. Having the college representatives done proportionally would give them more of a chance, but make it more likely that no candidate would make it to the 270 vote minimum, meaning the House gets to chose who they want.
What a mess.
