++Hugh Hewitt ,whom you have seen as a moderator on the GOP debates, asked Ted Cruz about any rule changes in the convention he would favor. Cruz in his smarmy way said he would be disappointed is they did away with 40B, which says you can't be nominated unless you had won 6 or more primary or caucuses. This is the Romney rule used against Ron Paul in 2012 to deprive Paul of being nominated.
++What's interesting is that Cruz has been trying to poach Trump's delegates in Louisiana. The Donald has hired Paul Manafort,a GOP heavyweight to run his delegate operation. This signals real trench warfare.
++The latest attacks on Kasich are a counterattack to Kasich's effective ad on "Lying Ted",which says every time he opens his mouth he is lying.
++By now one would think that John Kasich is so far out of the game anyway he doesn't pose a threat to anyone. GOP establishment types and donors have urged Kasich to drop out.
++I think the reason Cruz is scared of Kasich is that there is trouble brewing with Cruz' secret life which should explode in public view before the convention.
++The disdain for Cruz among Republicans is palpable and they all have accused him of Nixonian dirty tricks in this campaign. We'll see in the next month what will transpire.
++At the last Townhall interviews with all three GOP contenders it was obvious that none of them felt bound to support the nominee.
++Kasich himself is on record saying Trump is ill-prepared for the presidency and his new attacks on Cruz indicates he feels the same about the Cruiser.
++Kasich has the support of the whole national security apparatus among the GOP and actually polls best against Hillary.
++Larry Sabato at Crystal Ball wrote today that Hillary would just crush Trump in a landslide. These are not the words of a partisan.
