Field (any other candidate) Now Favored Over Trump to Get Nomination

[SheenaR]

Upon checking out some Betting Markets this morning, The Field is now favored to win the Republican Nomination.

Why is this important? I think it is because of the complete dismissal of Independents by supporters of Hillary Clinton. When they get to Cleveland and on the second ballot nominate a Paul Ryan for instance, what now?

Team Clinton has relied on a few "certainties": 1) Bernie will be done quickly. That was obviously false. 2) Trump will be the nominee and he will be easy to beat because everyone hates him.

Now what? When we are up against someone like Ryan or Kasich in the General, won't we need Independents to win?

Isn't winning the GE what is of dire importance?

Forget Bernie or Bust. The "Democrats Only" method is a surefire loser as well.

1. My brain hurts after reading inanities like this one.

Trump and Cruz are both busy destroying the Republican Party and making rank and file Repubs seek a different candidate but somehow Clinton's supporters are compelling Independents to align with Republicans in favor of a generic candidate that is not Trump or Cruz.

Critical thinking and rational analysis have truly been forsaken here on DU nowadays.

2. Is this an insult

Because I am on your side in this battle. And I presented a factual account of what is currently going on. So I am not sure if the condescension was for me or not.
