There are three states that I know of that have sore-loser laws that would keep him off their ballots, Texas being one of them.
That would be a major hurdle.
May Meyers what works at the propane place?
She's nice.
Even if he doesn’t run third party there will be a lot of enthusiastic voters who will write in Trump if he is not the nominee.
Do you have a link to Texas party rule?
The GOP has already done more than enough to guarantee I will not be voting for anyone but Trump.
“Donald Trump is refusing to rule out a third-party bid for The White House.”
Hillary’s stalking horse opens his yap yet again. Hillary in a landslide is DJT’s ultimate goal.
South Dakota and Texas have sore loser laws that apply to presidential elections. I was wrong about there being three.
Let me google that for you:

I will be happy to vote for Ted Cruz or Paul Ryan if they win the Primary fair and square!
“There are three states that I know of that have sore-loser laws that would keep him off their ballots”
More establishment crap.
Same here. If they derail his nomination I'll probably just not vote in November. Perhaps what this country needs is to just hit bottom, then we can (in a couple of generations) wake up and have a revolution or something. Electing establishment people of either party over and over again is just death by a thousand cuts.
If Trump runs on a party’s ballot that already has 50 state access, there is no law to stop him. There are several such parties.
Exactly, Reform Party is one, and the American Independent Party is another if I’m not mistaken.
I read here this week that some states have registration deadlines before the convention. Hard for someone to bolt after the convention and run in all 50 states.
... same with Cruz supporters.
That was awesome
That’s what I’m thinking too.
It’s Trump, or I write in Trump, or I vote against the GOPe nominee in the General election.
And the Republicans need to get their act straight, because this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth for future elections.
I could see Cruz as he has campaigned and won delegates but Ryan who gave Obama the farm with that budget has done nothing to work and earn the nomination.
