And bluff it is. He's definitely ineligible to switch to third party in Ohio now.

Yes, the GOP wants someone else, but what do they do for a Plan B? I don't think they saw this coming so they're not ready with a plan to stop Trump, a replacement, or anything else. They saw the Tea Party thing coming, and they had Ginnie Thomas hijack it with her Tea Party Express. If we see something like that pop up, we will know the fix is in. But it's getting late in the game. They usually have their nominee chosen by now.

If Marco finishes 2nd in SC and Jeb finishes 5th (which is where the polls stand right now) - I think the establishment will start to get on the Marco train again like they tried to do before his NH debate flop.
