I guess so, if you really think the GOP actually likes either Trump or Cruz. They haven't hidden their contempt for either of those two, and the idea that either of them would win the nomination in a brokered convention is sheer lunacy.
This is moot now, since Cruz and Kasich have suspended their campaigns. But seriously, how can you not think Kasich would be an easy win if, through some miracle for the GOP, they got a brokered convention? Who do you think would win?
It was over for Kasich a LONG time ago, but he stayed in.
> Kasich will be an easy win at the brokered convention if that happens, so he's staying in until Trump reaches 1237.

Both parties have survived worse nominees. The Democrats survived Mcgovern after all.
