With the latest polling, they do this at their peril. The GOP will cease to exist. Or, Trump takes over the GOP and casts out the rest to the dustbin of history.

I’m trying to follow the money. Do Reince and Rove stand to have a huge financial gain if they can get Jeb nominated? Or would it be a power gain the two of them are hoping for?

This morning on the news, some liberal screaming heads were talking about Trump being a stalking horse for Hillary.

Even *they* are trying to burrow this meme-crap into the collective consciousness.

Rubio didn’t sell out.

He always was for amnesty and spoke at La Raza’s little race based rallies promising to deliver it.

If you didn’t bother to pay attention to all the threads here about that and watch the videos of that which were posted then you didn’t really oppose amnesty very hard until it was on the doorstep.

Why, because the GOP and DNC are really one and the same, just coming at socialism from different angles. That is why Mr Trump is so far ahead in the polls, because we the people are sick and tired of politicians who say one thing to get elected, then do a 180 when in office and poop on the voters that put them there. The sad thing is that the voters are so used to being pooped on that when the truth comes out, they think it is radical. Sad, sad, sad.

These jerkwads are forgetting who the real power brokers are in this nation (at least for a little while longer): US THE VOTERS!

They make me sick, too. They hate Trump, not because of political ideology, but because he won’t deliver the gravy train they are all expecting. Probably the same for Cruz, neither of them can be controlled to the extent they want.

Trump has more power because he has his own dollars to spend.

These sort of shenanigans are just a solid gold endorsement for Trump. I mean what better endorsement can there be than the enmity and hatred of the gop?

Most of these people have no idea that they are a product of brainwashing. They think it is their idea, they just can’t explain how it got into their collective heads.

Remember at the Fox News Debate. One of the very first questions was that

NO MATTER WHO THE NOMINEE BECOMES WOULD ALL THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WOULD SUPPORT HIM OR HER.

See this is when they thought it was going to be Jeb Bush. Now that Trump is looking to get it since crushing everyone in the polls.

The VERY SAME Republican Establishment that demanded loyalty from conservatives, who have been Allied to Obama and the DNC despite Republicans winning both the Senate and the House are going out of their way to go AGAINST the WILL of their voters and force us with an Establishment candidate.

An absolute despicable bunch. Remember Karl Rove saying only Establishment McCain can win. Ditto Mitt Romney who also lost.

DO NOT SEND money to the RNC that betrays conservatives. ONLY SEND IT DIRECTLY TO REAL TEA PARTY CONSTITUTIONALIST CONSERVATIVES.

The Establishment is only happy to see Conservatives lose the White House.

Trump is a winner and everyone knows that. This is why they are trying to plot against Trump and the Will of the people.

“...neither of them (Trump and Cruz) can be controlled to the extent they want.”

That’s EXACTLY what’s going on! Trump certainly isn’t going to be railroaded into the damn Uniparty socialist vision for America, and Cruz, once he’s had just a little more time to prove he’s cutting all ties with them, won’t be the Uniparty’s spineless mouthpiece either. The Uniparty is throwing a fit because they are rapidly loosing the control they’ve become so complacent in holding. They don’t care who wins or which illusionary party that person is supposed to be pulling for, so long as it IS one of their members, be it Rubio, Jeb, or Hillary. Trump and Cruz threaten their very existence and all the plans they have come so close to fulfilling. What I fear is that their backup plan is to instigate a national collapse through any one or more of means. Out of that collapse they think they have the resources to rebuild a new world order here. Lots of pain, hardship, and death for many many people if they choose that option.

They see the writing on the wall, and Hillary, Jeb, or Rubio’s name isn’t there. They see the names of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz!

IIRC, it’s been 30+ years since CA or NY voted for a Republican presidential candidate, so why would states that cannot deliver electoral votes in November have enough delegates to throw the party’s nomination?

Rinos (closet Democrats)have no problem burning down a party that isn’t theirs. They are CLOSET DEMOCRATS. Call them what they are. At least the Republican Party will be dead and it can morph into what it will become and shame on us if we let them infiltrate our new party.
