If all of the Republicans are against us, who is there left to be for us? I mean, how can we find enough clean candidates to contend?

This would require some serious efforts to get candidates on the ballots of the various states for the general election. As far as I know nobody has actually done anything yet. Typical GOPe. They will just talk until it is too late to do anything about it. That is pretty much how the GOPe types handle everything.

Thanks for reminding us about this: Thought Coburn was to ill to stay a senator: now he can run for President. No thanks, Dr. Tom, your time has passed.

You act like you some how know that Trump is a liberal Republican. How do you know that? All his campaign policies are conservative.

If Trump doesn't get the nomination, it'll be because the GOPe pulled shenanigans at the convention to stop him. It won't be because he's losing the primary races.

If Trump goes into the convention with 1237 delegates, he should get the nomination. If he goes into it with less than that, then he will have to try to get delegates to switch over to him on subsequent ballots. If he can't and someone else can, that is not "shenanigans" - that is the convention process at work.

So tell me - if Trump goes into the convention with less than a majority of delegates, and assuming the RNC does not make any shady rule changes, if Trump cannot get a majority, will you support the eventual nominee, even if they came into the convention with fewer delegates?

Apparently, so are Trump supporters if he doesn't get the nomination.

Total BS and you know it.

So this is the non-conservative branch of the party. The sold out to lobbyists branch. Its not the anti-Trump branch, because Cruz is there. SO this is the group who is so upset that there is not a sell out running.

I think the GOPe needs to tread VERY carefully at that convention and they had better understand that the voters will not be cut out of any deals this time around.

Ross Perot turned out to be a flake and a quitter. That’s why they all thought the Donald would drop out. Donald isn’t dropping out.

Gee. I wonder what the #never plan will be next week

The way the GOPe is expending their opposition candidates against Trump, I suspect they will soon resort to the Manhattan phone book.

hahahaha, Look at them crying. The tears are delicious. I wonder who will head the RNC if Trump is the nominee. Win lose or Draw the GOP becomes his after he is the nominee and the GOP as we know it is DEAD. Whether or not the likes of Cruz, Perry, Coburn, Romney and Lindsey are able to kneecap him in the general. Yaay, the GOP is dying. From its ashes will arise a better party

Total BS and you know it.

There are plenty of Trump supporters on this forum that have said they will stay home or vote for Trump on a 3rd party ticket if the nomination is "stolen" from him - so don't tell me it is BS...

The third party candidate that Bill Kristol, the Establishment creep, has been talking about? Actually it would be more like 4th or 5th party but whatever. If the Establishment is behind this guy, it doesn’t matter, it won’t get off the ground.

Can we stop the globalist express? Even with a sympathetic president? It has gone so far, the purges, the violence, the unreasonable demands. I just don’t know if it can all go away.

“He’s a perfect choice in many ways”

indeed. perfect choice to hand Hillary the Presidency, whether she’s indicted or not; after all, she can simply pardon herself after she’s President or simply beg Obama to do it for her before she’s inaugurated.

Indeed, Coburn would be the perfect choice by Democrats and GOP Uniparty apparatchiks everywhere.

We can’t find enough clean candidates. The only way that can happen is if government becomes more local, and anyone who gets to DC has to prove themselves on the local and state level.

Hmmm, you went from all supporters to plenty of supporters on this forum...

Like I said, total BS.

That’s my plan as well. If the Cheap Labor Express gets their amnesty candidate from the RNC/GOP or they pull some phony 3rd party crap, I will become a kamakazi voter and vote for every Democrat on my ballot in November and forevermore.

“Apparently, so are Trump supporters if he doesn’t get the nomination. “

Trump supporters won’t have to do anything special to help Hillary win: she’s guaranteed a win if the GOPe picks their own candidate at the convention, you know, some latter day loser cast from the same mold as loser McCain or loser Romney.
