Perhaps if the GOP hears enough discontent from the voters, they will understand they will lose the election unless the will of the PEOPLE drives the nomination process

Sour Grapes much? Sounds like DU.

You have to earn those delegates and most of them weren't raised on the back side of a turnip truck. These are more astute studies of politics that look up sources when accusations are thrown out. They will not be swayed with threats (sue sue sue) by bullies that hide behind keyboard twitter accounts typing crude remarks and ducking debates. Cheap accusations without proof are discredited and frowned upon. This ain't middle school (even if the grammar from one candidate never rises above it).

Earn your nomination as the rules set it up, then you will have room to play the victim card, until then, quit whining. The promises to hold your breath and not vote is your privilege (and it is a valid option in some cases). But just because the field narrowed and you're not dominating as perhaps you expected with Trump touting every poll imaginable early on without thinking a narrower field showing his support has a roof is not my fault. Donald's negatives are his own fault, and his supporters not absorbing the fact that having an even worse negative opinion from voters than Hillary has can be problematic to other conservatives.

Speaking of conservatives, take off your high hat, Cruz is the most proven conservative person we have had in 20 years. You don't have a 97% rating (second highest in the Senate) just playing pattyfoot with RINOs. Cruz earned his honorable title and he didn't have to compromise to do it (ex. Iowa ethonol). He doesn't switch positions 5 times on abortion in 3 days. He has what a lot of us loved with Reagan, character. So much that others fabricate stories to try and drag that character in the mud.

IOWs grow up and put the blame where it belongs, in Donald's lap. The election was Trump's to pick like a ripe grape off the vine. All he had to do was plop it in his mouth and keep it shut afterwards. This brings us back full circle, back to sour grapes. Or what you get when you run your mouth so long the grape turns on you.

Not that complicated when you think about it.

At our district level caucus in Washington State, about 95% of the 27 delegates we elected to the state convention are Cruz supporters. Two Trump supporters were elected as the 16th and 17th alternate.

I have no idea how that compares to other districts in our state. Our state convention selects delegates to the National convention prior to our primary results. So it could happen that a majority of Cruz supporters are elected as delegates to the National Convention, and then Trump could win the primary.

You’re comment does not begin to reflect what I said. I’m a realist. I do not believe Cruz can win a national campaign. Plain and simple.

I’m not threatening to not vote, I’m not holding my breath.

I’m not sure who you were responding to....maybe you think I’m Donald Trump.

You’re just not a very nice poster.
