Doesn’t matter.
They know they will have to honor the primary election or all of Trump’s supporters will vote Democrat down on all offices - local, state, judges, Congress, President, etc.

Scorched earth policy really isn’t just for elites. Voters can also hand the lighter off.

I think Trump’s about ready to change up. I think he’s exposed a lot of people in the GOPe and shown them for what they are, and he’s going to change up his game.

Our Principles PAC is not new but it’s the one they are now going to put more money in to oppose Trump:

https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/indexpend.php?strID=C00603621&cycle=2016

It is 100% opposition, hasn’t spent a dime promoting anything positive or any candidate.

Jeb!s former communications direction has been hired to run it. Yeah, that’ll do it.

The GOP wrote the rules so the later, winner take all primaries will matter greatly. Everything’s been proportional (or hybrid) until now. So this rate can only last until March 15.

For example: NJ, PA, IN and CA combine for 351 delegates, almost all winner take all.

“A number of major Republican business leaders, all of whom have backed candidates running against Donald J. Trump, held a conference call on Tuesday afternoon to solicit funds for a “super PAC” that’s been singularly focused on stopping the rise of the real-estate developer as the Republican nominee.

Meg Whitman, Todd Ricketts and Paul Singer, among others, all took part in the call with about 50 people, urging them to fund Our Principles PAC, which was funded largely by a member of the Ricketts family, and which started airing ads in Iowa before the caucuses to try to stop Mr. Trump. The state is the only one that Mr. Trump has not won of the first four nominating contests. There are other entities looking to thwart Mr. Trump, but the call was primarily about Our Principles PAC, according to two participants, who asked not to be identified in order to talk about a private discussion.”

Next week the winner take all States are up for grabs.

Trump will finish Rubio and Cruz next week.

Sorry to disappoint you but Rubio and Cruz aren't going to be the nominee.

I’m not going to vote Dem if Trump loses. If Trump is cheated, I will go 3rd party. If Trump loses but is treated fairly, I will vote for the nominee provided it is not Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney or Lindsey Graham — and if Rubio keeps this up, I won’t vote for him either.

Now Cruz is being cozy with the open border establishment and Rubio, WTH.

And Rubio with his warts is to the right of Bush Senior by quite a bit.

Would you have jettisoned the 8 years of Reagan becsause he took on Bush?

Seriously?

Yes, he made mega bucks at a law firm before his run for senate in TX. His work at FTC lead to him converting liberals to his side, success. He can be convincing although he waged a lonely war against the Uniparty. He fought and won some extremely important supreme court cases including against World Court/UN and Bush administration, hey rest of the world - you aren’t telling Texas how to run is courts and other exceedingly important for American’s basic freedoms. I am grateful for his government work.

Cruz has never held a job outside of gov't. Never. He's part of the problem.

Huh. You Trump guys hate lies spewed about Trump. How about the whopper you just told?

Cruz damned sure as hell HAS held jobs outside of government. Stop lying. If you can....which I sincerely doubt.

So...what? Now being an attorney is a government job???

Cruz worked in private practice before that.

I would not be there if I were him. It is just going to be another cage match like the last one was.

It’s insane. They’re treating Cruz like HE is the liberal running as a Republican. Blaming him for all ills, like Trump just blamed conservatives. I’ve never seen anything like this BS before.
