    I wouldn't say that, exactly. But I am sure he has at least entertained the thought of keeping his options open, should a contested convention happens. Though I agree, it does look a little suspect supporting Cruz so quickly after helping Kasich.

      It seems that Rmoney is endorsing "anyone but drumpf". Didn't he also campaign for Little Rubio in Florida?

        I understand that logic for Arizona which is WTA where splitting the vote give Donald Trump all the delegates, but in Utah, it doesn't look like Trump will pick up more than a handful of delegates. Sure if Cruz gets > 50%, Trump with be completely shut out, but 4 delegates aren't going to make any difference. If Trump comes up 4 delegates short on the first ballot, he will end up being the nominee anyway.

          Now, since you are much smarter than I and read all this crap, I admit they may have confused me too. So the FBI and Secret service never did investigate this and it was just Trump wanting them too?
          Don't forget to watch the video! That's like 4:30 of more wasted time you can complain about. (Also, I would avoid the Baseball 2016 thread moving forward.)

            I'm confused. So Romney still hasn't officially endorsed anyone, but he's making robocalls asking people to NOT vote for Kasich. And I would assume he doesn't want anyone to vote for Trump. So....what's the hold up to making that official endorsement?

            Friday I had a chat with a neighbor who does online marketing. He and some others are working on a short info-expose of Hillary. They paid someone to do some research into her financial dealings and the Clinton Foundation. Then they got someone to write a script. Now they're getting the animation and slides done to turn it into a YouTube film. He's kind of hoping one of the super PACs picks it up and runs with it. Not a fan of Hillary.

              It seems pretty clear to me... The Texan has the best chance of taking the most delegates away from Drumpf by getting 50% of the vote in Utah.

              The sooner RMoney and the Republicans blow up their party the sooner the Libertarians can take over.

                What I'm saying is...

                If Romney is convinced that Cruz is the answer to stopping Trump. Then why not just endorse Trump?

                Or is Romney officially for either Cruz or Kasich - whichever of the 2 has the best chance at winning the most delegates in the particular state in question?

                Talk about a non-endorsement endorsement...

                  Anonymous is awesome. They're the ones that deleted ISIS on twitter. And they just made Trump look like an ass. Not that he needs the help.

                        Exactly. Romney is working toward whatever outcome results in Trump getting the fewest number of delegates. If that means supporting Kasich in one primary and Cruz in another, that's what he'll do.
