“The speaker is grateful for the support, but he is not interested”, she said in an emailed statement.

Though Clinton clearly established herself as the front-runner on Tuesday, Bernie Sanders’ campaign will continue, NBC said. “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him”.
Lauren Victoria Burke agreed with Munisteri’s breakdown of the delegate math, saying, “There is some math that is going to be very interesting” leading up to the Republican Convention.
On Tuesday, Ryan did not rule out the idea of being drafted by the party at the convention, but on Wednesday his spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, appeared to close that door. “He will not accept a nomination and believes our nominee should be someone who ran this year”.
“It is mathematically impossible for John Kasich to become the nominee. We have people who are elitists, who are part of the ruling class of this country, or pretenders to that throne, who are openly and willingly going out here and telling the American people who have voted for Donald Trump that they’re stupid and they don’t know any better”.
Weaver adds: “If he changes his mind, we will be there”. Trump’s exit created a domino effect – Ohio Gov. John Kasich also pulled out of the event.
If they both skip, that would leave Texas Sen.
No word yet from Cruz or Fox News, the host of the debate.
Scott made the announcement Wednesday on his official Facebook page. What does a Donald Trump nomination mean for races for the down-the-ballot? He was elected governor in 2010. Mr. Trump said his speech at the powerful lobbying group’s conference in Washington, D.C., “was scheduled a while ago”. Ted Cruz on the first ballot, he’d be “for none of the above”. So I’m for none of the above.
Liberal New York financier George Soros, whose effort to unseat President George W. Bush in 2004 shattered political spending records, is returning to big-ticket giving after an 11-year hiatus, Bloomberg reported.
If that were to happen, the outcome would be what is known as a brokered convention in which the delegates – who normally play a purely symbolic role, effectively rubber-stamping the results of the primaries – acquire a critical influence over the nomination.
Donald Trump says he will not participate in the next GOP presidential debate on Monday in Utah because “we’ve had enough debates”.
Still, Graham said he believes that the third remaining Republican candidate for president, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, would be “the most viable general election candidate”, but that he does not see how Kasich can win the primary. Ted Cruz. It would be a clash of potential alternatives as each man maneuvers to claim the mantle of credible alternative to the brash billionaire who has controlled the race for months. In fact, he seemed on track to win up until his disappointing Super Tuesday on March 1, and even in the days after that I thought he was in fairly good shape – that is, right up until his support collapsed the weekend after Super Tuesday. Trump added that they “are calling me to work out a deal” to “become involved”. That’s certainly possible given there are several winner-take-all states to come, and Trump may do well in big East Coast states such as NY and New Jersey.
When asked by CNN about the possibility of a brokered convention, Trump said, “I think we’ll win before getting to the convention, but if we didn’t [implied…and a contested convention occurred in which Trump was not the automatic winner] I think you’d have riots”, Trump predicted.
“I wouldn’t lead it, but I think bad things would happen”.
Trump cited a hypothetical scenario where he’d go to the Cleveland convention in July with roughly 1,000 delegates and a rival would show up there with 500.

On the Democratic side, prospects of a contested convention are far less likely as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is continuing to pull away from Vermont Sen.
