If the Republican establishment really went down this road it would END the Republican party for good as far as voters are concerned.

Such a move would be akin to flying a plane into a building while you remained in it.

Sound familiar?

They do this they loose. Of course they don’t care. The GOP establishment is comprised of gutless, privileged bloodsuckers growing wealthy through campaign contributions by crony capitalists, They should all be guillotined.

Assuming things continue in that vein, the GoP will be faced with something that looks like the 1968 Dem convention should they attempt a smokey backroom deal, and they know it. It would wreck the party for a decade.

You misspelled forever.

Hope that helps.

>Do they really think they can do that and that ANYONE will then rally to support their chosen one? I wont.

Neither will I.
It would be the only circumstance in which I would vote for a socialist dem rat, which would be a first for me. If they think they can win with only the RINO vote, bring it. If Trump or Cruz earn it fairly, and GOPe manages to install their puppet and deny the voters choice, then it’s more socialism and open borders either way.

FUGOPE!
Go Trump/Cruz

They better not even try that unless they want the biggest uprising they’ve ever seen. The mood toward the GOPe out on the street is not very good.

“Should this happen, this nation is OVER, for good and all and so is the stupid GOP!”

The GOP is like the story of King Solomon and the two mothers. They are the false mother who would rather see the baby murdered because they are petty, vindictive and have no ones interest at heart but their own.

If Jeb keeps losing as miserably as he is yet DOESN’T drop out, to me, that will be a good sign that the GOP plans to try and pull a fast one if at all possible. So keep your eye on that.

Some of the Primary losers’ supporters will not support Trump if he is the winner. Their argument will be that he isn’t a conservative. That will give the Dem, either Sanders or Hillary, the presidency.

The country will not survive 8 more years of a Dem president.

IMHO

People must be educated to understand that Cruz’s church is NOT Southern Baptist but a cult named Dominionism. Papa said that God had anointed his son to be KING over ALL THE EARTH! His faith is NOT Chistian, but DOmininionism. Google it. IT is not scriptural Cruz is a FRAUD! Christians WAKE UP. HE is NOT WHO U think he is! If his deceptions in Iowa is not enough at least read! The illegal violation mailers are going out in SC now. They are illegal. Rubio is sending them as well! ILLEGAL. What Christian would use lies and intimidations to win the nomination??? No one I know would fall for it. TRUMP is the only hope of saving the USA!

The eGOP is finished. Dirty anti-American politics has killed it off. They push out any candidate using dirty tricks like this and millions of Republican voters will not vote.

Go ahead. Do it. He wins all of this, and then they pull a wormy trick like this? That might be fun because it will finally be the official end of the GOP.

So if Trump and Cruz go into the convention with neither having 50% and Cruz ends up the nominee, it will end the GOP? Don't think so.

Interesting possibilities you raise.

One thing has become clear to me in this primary season. Many voters seem ready to takes risks, real risks. I’m talking mostly about voters over 40.

Trump whipped all ideologies on the right in New Hampshire.

I’m astounded at the way Sanders trounced Hillary. Not that she lost, but to whom. This is an old, white, jewish leftist.

People are fed UP. Enough to jump into the real unknown.
