On the second vote, hundreds of Trump delegates switch to Cruz or Kasich? Doesn’t make any sense at all.

Nah, it makes total sense. Hundreds of 'Trump delegates' are not really Trump delegates. They will be folks who are required to vote for Trump on the first ballot but otherwise have no loyalty to Trump and will gladly ditch him on the 2nd ballot. Have you somehow missed all the squawking over 'stolen delegates' over the past few weeks?

The GOP’s shameful treatment of the Tea Party was the last straw for me. Note that the Tea Party and Trump both brought lots of voters to the polls but the GOP stabbed both in the back. The GOP is corrupt and hopeless. I would like to see Trump go third party. A lot of people are fed up with the status quo and would like a real alternative.

I am “optimistic” that loser mitch and his criminal ilk will be run out of town on a rail. They are traitors to their electorate and to their oath of office.

I would not be bothered at all if there was a third party today, but we all know the GOP would infiltrate like they did to the tea party.

‘Ryan and McConnell financed 100% of everything Obama wanted in the last budget.’

It wasn’t even a budget, since we haven’t had one of those in 7+ years. It was one of those cromnibus monstrosities they’ve been using to gratify Obama and further ruin the country.

If it ain’t Trump or Cruz this November the GOP will go on without me. I will vote for Hillary and do my part to bring on the hell this country has coming to it.

feel the same way pal.

I have nothing , but disgust towards the party, the hacks on here who repeat those talking points, and the man himself who seems to think he is God’s chosen one.

“Do you see that happening on the Democrat side?”

Yes. It is rare for exact match to happen in history or opposing political parties, but I can’t think of any non-incumbent primary where politicians opposing other politicians hasn’t happened.

I think there is a good chance of massive demonstrations. I actually may go and if I go then that means 100s of thousands to a million people will probably be there.
