"Yes, the GOPe would rather lose to Hillary and retain their place at the trough"

The GOPe would rather serve in Hell than rule in Heaven.

[stocksthatgoup]

GOPe carpet bombing to commence

[Theophilus]

Congrats on the plurality.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So the movement is not so much pro-Trump as it is anti-Cruz?

[Happy Rain]

Trump troll sophistry.
Hillary wants her some Donald!
The only one with higher negatives than her.

[DoughtyOne]

And now FReepers seem to want to join the GOPe in that effort.

Trump is going to be our nominee, and they’re trying to destroy him anyway.

“Here Hillary, GOPe, we’re here to help.”

Some Conservatives we have here.

Last night folks were saying they wanted Rubio to win.

WTH is wrong with these people?

They would rather have a third GWB term or Hillary Clinton?

[ASA Vet]

For your enjoyment.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Donald! The only one with higher negatives than her.

What, is there a trail of dead bodies in Trump's wake, like Hitlary?

I don't think so, and he will absolutely throw that in her face.

The unexamined question is whether Trump is not himself a globalist, despite his very recent comments to the contrary. And for all of those evangelicals who support Trump, here is Paul on the question of leadership.

Timothy, Chapter 3, regarding the qualifications for a leader: He must "be of even temper, self-controlled, modest, and hospitable . . . he ought not to be contentious . . . HE SHOULD NOT BE A NEW CONVERT, lest he become conceited . . . he must also be well thought-of by those outside the church, to ensure that he does not fall into disgrace . . . " And so forth.

[Happy Rain]

It is difficult to decide what Trump and his benighted myrmidons do most...
Hate on or lie about Cruz.
Regardless, the Hillary/Donald DEAL is proceeding as planned.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Anything that happened during the Clinton regime can be fairly laid at her feet.

(co-presidency, two for the price of one)

[w1andsodidwe]

Well I must say that this is a sad but true analysis of the Cruz voters. Basically if they can't win why then let Hillary win:

One of the historic truisms in the past several election cycles is the Cruz Coalition, as currently assembled, is the first to stay home when their candidate doesn t win. The socially-minded voter will never vote for a populist fiscal conservative/socially moderate candidate. Cruz voters, and their advocates, are emotionally driven by social issues. Hence they yell a lot (See Mark Levin) and only respond well to others who are inside their echo-chamber.

Consequently neither Rubio nor Trump will try to gain/court Cruz voters. Why should they; the narrow-minded group will never vote for them, if they vote at all.

This non-voting truism is why the GOPe ignore the Cruz-like factions completely; because rarely will the GOPe be influenced by them. When Cruz-Clan get angry and don t get their way they don t vote.

[ronnie raygun]

Just look how easy they find it working with the imposter and his team od anti Americans. Loosing could be a win as well as winning with thier candidate

[frnewsjunkie]

I wish they had gotten even half this upset with the prospect of obama becoming the President. We wouldn’t be in the fix we are after 8 years. For them to think obama was no danger, tells me their opinions are absolutely worthless today.

Some of us knew who obama was... but blind leading the blind gave us the worst disaster president of all times. NOTHING/NO ONE could be that bad... except hillary or bernie

[Pan_Yan]

2016: The year America voted for the louder of two evils.

[ronnie raygun]

dont go to the Cibolo Creek Ranch

[COBOL2Java]

We can now expect those same DC influences, including the entire camp that supported Jeb Bush, the old guard, to work diligently (albeit under darkened cover) to assist Hillary Clinton, and destroy anything that would interrupt their grip on power.

I grind my teeth when a writer over-uses the term "old guard". My Son-in-Law was a member of that revered branch of the Army.

Sorry, just my personal irritation.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[RitaOK]

You may as well shoot off the balcony.

I take it you read the sentence in the article where you must have discovered to your chagrin, that neither the GOP, nor TRUMP, nor Rubio, will even bother with Cruz voters?

Translation: Cults don’t vote anyway, if not for their cult leader.
