The problem I see with conservatives is if their particular candidate (Carson, Cruz, Bush...) isn’t nominated there is a good chance they won’t vote. Libs on the other hand will follow party lines and vote for whatever is nominated by the Dems, regardless if they like them or not.

If Trump wins the nomination I fully expect the GOPe to get behind Hillary. The gravy train keeps running as long as the winner is part of the uniparty.

I also expect Cruz to be part of the ticket and Carson to be in the cabinet. The three “outsiders” would have enough to carry the vote.

Absolutely. The Rats win by incrementalism when the challengers constantly take their marbles and go home to make a meaningless statement. The Rats win and move onto the next victory.

In before the TDS crowd spams another thread to turn a fine wine into whine and vinegar. Of course they will take their marbles and go home. They continue to vote Rat out of a moral consciousness and to prove their intellectual superiority.

They play checkers while the occupation is playing chess.

The bigger problem is Bush got more votes than any other Republican president ever has in 2004 and that amount still wouldn’t have been enough to defeat Obama’s number in 2008 or 2012.

If the conservatives needed to win are “staying home,” they’ve been staying home all their lives.

The Dems have no other card to play other than the identity politics of electing a black, a woman, a latino, etc. But it’s worked extremely well for them two elections in a row.

Hence it might be necessary to have Cruz on the ticket, as distasteful as I personally find him for his amnesty obfuscations.
