Elements in both parties have engaged in it at key moments, to the glee of their supporters.
But Hillary vs. The Donald would be a frail old grandma with a jackknife vs. Ra's al Ghul.
I fear he would have her in tears in a debate.
Hell, he almost had "little Marco" in tears.
And he would leave that superannuated hippy radical, Bernie, sputtering and choking with speechless apoplexy.
If Hillary went after his support for Castro and the Sandinistas, support that he and his fans, sounding like prospective splitters, continue to defend to this day, imagine what Trump, who has already repeatedly called him a communist, would say.
Looks like Trump will take Florida by a whopping lead and maybe Ohio by a nose.
If he shows up in Cleveland with a majority of delegates does there remain any way to deny him the nomination?
They're thinking about it.
A Republican National Committee Standing Rules Committee member told the membership Friday that convention delegates are not bound to cast their votes at the convention according to primary vote results in the first round of voting.
Everyone seems already agreed no one is bound after the first ballot.
The argument is that the Supremes have ruled state laws are trumped by national party rules, and a national party rule binding delegates in 1976 was permanently rescinded in 1980.
Chris Christie went on TV today to reject this interpretation and denounce any talk of denying the nomination to Trump if he has won a majority.
And he reminded everyone of the pledges the GOP candidates took to support the party's eventual nominee, pretending that somehow was the same as pledging to give Trump the nomination if he won the primaries.
Outspent 8 to 1 in Florida and showered with anti-Trump ads, The Donald still went into today well ahead in the polls.
It appears dimwit voters who wanted to cross over in Florida were not aware it's a closed primary and they could not do that without re-registering their party affiliations some 29 days in advance.
So Democrats are complaining they don't see Trump on their ballots and a few Republicans that they are not seeing Sanders.
