MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Ted Cruz says there is a risk that Donald Trump supporters would bolt from the Republican Party if he loses the nomination at the GOP convention this summer.

That’s why Cruz said in an interview on WTMJ radio in Milwaukee on Thursday that the best course is for the Texas senator to win a majority of the delegates before then.

It’s not just a risk - it’s fact.

“Hell will find the likes of Ted Cruz in due time, I am sure.”

Rationality is clearly your strength.

Hillary’s plan is working perfectly! Just like her husband (who never got a majority of the vote), she knew she needed a Ross Perot-like spoiler to make her election inevitable. So someone (who I’m sure was connected to the Clintons) talks to Trump and tells him that he would be great as a protest candidate (and the run would be good for his brand). He’s been a moderate all his life (and a friend of the Clintons), so he seems like a good Ross Perot surrogate.

Of course, neither she nor the GOPe could have foreseen the anti-establishment sentiment that made Trump a front-runner! And he has too much ego to just fold. So, in the end, Hillary is going to get what she wanted in the first place, a third-party candidate (or a large part of the electorate sitting home). And so many “smart” people have fallen for it, hook, line, and sinker...

Legal path? I should hope so.

The last 8 years have shown us the USA is on a lawless path if anything. How else can that putrid skank Hillary be running around free.

The rule of Law is in critical condition, on life support. Trying to prevent Trump from running 3rd party would be a titanic legal battle the GOP would be reduced to a smoking hole in any instance.

“Which one weighs more than a duck.”

I know it’s irrelevant. Being conservative means noting to
some Trump supporters. You know, the ones that will vote
Hillary if they don’t get their way. I’m all for Trump winning
but it would have been nice to elect another Reagan than another Bush.

Every state in the general election allows for a Write in Candidate.

They will be up late counting all the Donald J Trump write ins for early voting and election night if they try to steal the Rep nomination from Trump.

Every state allows for a write in candidate. We will write in Donald J Trump

It is very VERY easy.

I vote for Trump whether he is the nominee or not. Could never vote for Cruz after the way he has conducted himself, nor would I vote for a GOPe hack placed on the ballot. The down ticket Republicans I’ll think about. Right now it’s not looking good for them.

“By allying with Ryan/Preibus/the rest of the GOP-e”

He didn’t ally with them, they allied with him. They endorsed
him. Whats he supposed to do? Tell them to go spoon a goose?
Your point holds no water. It is moot at best.
Cruz is a conservative on the record. There is NO question about
it.

Notice, tolerant, not getting nasty here.

You must be the less than sane one to continue to hang around here and continue to reply when you stated you the vitriol is too much for you. How Rational is that?

I am just pointing out posts like yours complaining about the heated discussion, scolding the posters from your high seat and then staying reduces your credibility.

Never have I chided the other posters on a thread like you have. IF I DONT LIKE A THREAD I JUST LEAVE.

Now, you are just a joke on the thread. Hang tough Mr. Rational.

Cruz IS the new Bush

Bush got one vote from me, he was a GOPe NWO disater and Ted Zeppelin would be Hindenburg II.

Whole Lotta Lying!

"Whats he supposed to do?"
He could start by not doing things like hiring Neil Bush onto his campaign staff.

I agree. Millions of ‘Donald Trump ink stamps’ should go out to his supporters. A novel reminder to vote (Stamp in/write in Trump) and an easy way to get the word out that the GOPE and the marxist muslim uniparty must be defeated.
