But who would Cruz support if he drops out, Trump or Rubio? And same for Rubio - Cruz or Trump? -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 13:16 15
- That is what I said below. The goal is NO TRUMP. The rest will fall in line behind whatever non-Trump is still standing. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:19 2
  - actually, the party's goal is no Cruz. Trump gives them a much better shot electorally than Ted -- nm - mr. plow Feb 2, 13:27 1
    - It's this 100%. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 13:51
- If the other 2 are the only options still in at that point, I think they probably just stay silent unless there is a VP offer. -- nm - pmb Feb 2, 13:19 10
  - Actually I think there's a chance Cruz would throw in behind Trump. I think Cruz's followers are more apt to be leaning that way to begin with and it - pmb Feb 2, 13:21 9
    - Thus burying his future in the party? Doubtful. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:21 8
      - It's already buried. -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 13:22 7

        Nah, he still could be their last hope. And backing the anti-Trump would go a long way towards that. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 2, 13:23 5
        
        This is after he drops out. He's not anybody's last hope at that point. And he's setting himself up for the next run. He clearly does not believe - pmb Feb 2, 13:28 4
        
        That is what I mean. And taking the Sanders path is still far better than the Trump path. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 13:59 3
        
        But it's after he dropped out. The Trump path and the Sanders path are the same. They are looking for disaffected voters within their party that are - pmb Feb 2, 14:02 2
        
        I have never taken Sanders as insulting his party, though... but I guess he does. -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 2, 14:07 1
        
        Just start from the fact that he isn't really a democrat. Until running for president he has always been an independent. He needed to align himself - pmb Feb 2, 14:12
- I think both would remain quiet. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 13:18
