I've always thought Kasich/Rubio would have been their best ticket, especially considering electoral votes (Ohio & Florida).
Not this time. This thing is completely off the rails and not getting back on, any time soon.

Kasich/Rubio
would have been the best ticket. The problem is that the Republican party has lost all sense of leadership. It's over crowded by too many ego maniacs who all have a desperate need for attention and to be "the boss," but who haven't the first clue how to lead. It's become such a free-for-all any old drumpf can waltz in and start trashing the join, and everyone just lets him because they'd rather spend their time trying to out-toddler each other in a teeming mass than to acquiesce to an adult reading them a bedtime story.
Once upon a time, the GOP would have been all too eager to throw it's support behind a candidate like Kasich. He's got all the experience in the world, is a proven leader, job creator, and fiscal hawk who has actually written a balanced federal budget from scratch. He is the ONLY person in the entire country who can say that. It's a slam goddamned dunk, but the GOP of the 21st too busy worrying about looking black if they play basketball.
In a flagrant assault on the very concept of meritocracy which the Republican Party is supposed to embrace, a field of 18 god-damned candidates all too stupid, stubborn, and/or evil to allow a petty thing like qualifications and competency stand in the way of their ego stroking fuckery. The GOP should be showcasing it's talent and selling the story to the American people about why Republican and conservative strategies are most beneficial to the American people. But instead of
taking responsibility to get their own shit together the party sat by and done nothing on the
excuse of letting voters decide, which is just their way of rationalizing the fact that everyone wants the privileges of being in charge, but nobody is willing to live up to the responsibilities of taking charge.
If the GOP had its shit together we would have had a small pool of candidates, Kasich would have easily been the front runner, Trump would have been laughed off stage months ago, and we'd be on our way to an easy cruising victory to 8 years of upcoming Republican occupancy of the White House. Instead, we get this....
