Trump outdid most expectations on Tuesday night, dampening any strides made by the anti-Trump movement. The difficulty now is for the non-Trump candidates to arrive at the convention with legitimacy, despite trailing significantly in the popular vote and delegate numbers. The New Republic makes the argument that the only way for Kasich and Cruz to stop Trump and retain legitimacy in the Republican party would be to create a unity ticket, with Cruz at the top and Kasich as his running mate.
I understand the conservative angst, but most of what I read against Trump comes from the Democratic side: If Trump is so obviously awful, why are they not deliriously happy at such a slam-dunk opponent for Clinton?
