The GOP has gotten itself in a pretty pickle with their primary leader and #2 (Trump and Cruz).
These two candidates are unelectable at the national level -- meaning swing voters and moderates (right of center / left of center) already find them both unacceptable and unthinkable (think Sarah Palin).
It's the rational middle that decides the outcome of the Presidential election. Well, actually it's the rational middle in a few select "swing" states. Because California, the Northwest and Northeast always fall in line the same way the bible belt and corn belt do, that leaves the Swings to break the tie one way or the other. Our National election comes down to which way Ohio, Florida, Penn, and Colorado go. Unfortunate but that's how the electoral college numbers game woks out. And with more hispanics and ethic populations growing in light red states, things are not looking good for the GOP in 2020 and beyond.
The problem the GOP has with two un-electable candidates is that these Swing States and few other small swing states are being pushed into going blue to save the country from what the majority perceives as an unacceptable outcome -- Trump or Cruz as POTUS.
A vote for Hilary feels like a punt, the safe play in the situation. And her campaign is trying to move people to feeling its more like 3rd and short and an easy pass/run option.
Here's the question the GOP is asking: are Cruz/Rubio voters likely to come around to Trump in enough numbers to make him viable? No. We already know that answer. Unfortunately for the GOP, Cruz is more unacceptable to swing/moderate voters. It's that sociopathic vibe people don't like. He would never be able to capture enough swings and ex-Trumpers to win anything.
The way I see it, the only option for the GOP going forward is to tear Trump down and hope Cruz implodes, then prop up Kasich.
Kasich with a conservative VP pick is their only chance at the WH.
