No.

Not now.

And certainly not you, Coburn.

What an asshole. It is amazing how many “conservatives” I used to respect who have shown their true, dark colors this election season.

-- Wasn't Coburn the guy Trump erroneously quoted as slandering Cruz? --

False attribution of a quote, but Coburn did accuse Cruz of alienating his peers in the Senate.

I have been busily processing that possible future for a few weeks now. It always seems to lead to a civil war revolving around the second amendment. This is why I am all about the NRA remaining non-partisan.

Cool, Tom, and just so you know, I’m okay with voting against every Republican down ticket in this election and every election to come.

Local, state and federal.

Yeah, that would be stating the obvious.

I think that Trump is a mistake. At best, he is like most wealthy Northeastern liberal Republicans, falling somewhere in a narrow political spectrum between Bloomberg on the left and Giuliani on the right. He is also a talented salesman who knows how to tell his audience whatever they want to hear.

Regardless, if he gets the nomination, I will vote for him over Hillary and hope that he falls closer to Giuliani than Bloomberg.

A third party candidate cannot get elected and can only guarantee that Hillary does. I don’t care who the third party candidate is, it will be a repeat of Ross Perot in 1992.

This is getting more absurd, by the day.

Trump has completely exposed ALL of the LYING RINOs as agents/accomplices for the globalist, PAC/Special Interest owned vermin that they ALL are.

They made Trump sign a pledge...and now they’re pulling this crap?

They are at their wits end....that their sinister gravy train, and globalist plans, will be exposed and stopped.

slight difference = Trump is winning; other 3rd party suggestions are not. Trump would not be taking something earned from someone who earned it.
Nah, it’s not a slight difference; it is night and day.
Besides, Trump has said he would not even think 3rd party unless the Repubs treat him unfairly (such as snatching the nomination and giving it to someone who did not earn it).
Hope that helps.

Trump supporters when Trump threatens to go 3rd Party:

That's because the RNC will use dirty tricks to stop Trump from getting the nomination. When was the last time a party's own front-runner was targeted for defeat? If you're the front-runner and expected to win, and your own party is stopping you, wouldn't you go 3rd party?

Trump supporters when someone else threatens to go 3rd Party

No skin off my back if anyone else runs 3rd party. Trump supporters aren't going anywhere, that's the thing the GOPe just doesn't realize. And it'll actually eat into Hillary's support.

I kind of remember that, Coburn was emphatic. As always Trump supporters think everyone feels like they do. If Trump is the nominee I think it would be a great start to a new party, cause the GOP WILL HAVE LEFT ME.
Off topic, saw last night the Donald has tweeted over 100 times about Megyn Kelly and her awfulness. That is what happens if you don’t kiss his ring.

I have to wonder why if the GOPe has screwed over voters for years now as we all know, they are so opposed to Trump. Cruz supporter think Trump is another elite. If that were the case they would welcome him. Instead they will do literally anything to stop Trump. This whole election is stop Trump at any cost.

Cruz supporters seem to miss that the people that hate Trump the most and fear his stopping their activities are the same people who have lied and cheated and used voters for year.

Go Trump!

It’s so clear why the GOP loses. They constantly shot themselves in the foot with horrible strategies and decisions.

When D.C. establishment “conservatives” say they prefer Hillary to Trump, they expose themselves as brazen liars. That what they really value is to protect their Ivory Tower turf as opposed to defending the Constitution they claim to love... and show their dishonesty as having equal disdain for the “will of the people” as any liberal. For bottom line the ARE liberals... for NO conservative wants Hillary under any circumstances!

A new Trump killer is being floated. It must mean that the GOPe has given up on Cruz.
