Much MORE than 30% would leave the GOP forever, should Trump lose...which he is NOT going to do.

You know. I’ve beeen thinking about all the down ticket talk. Honestly, do they matter? Seems like the SC and president are what matters. The house and senate seem to just hold hearings that go nowhere. It’s like a huge banana republic :(

My next guess is people like Cruz and Levin will try muddle and confuse the voters with their own 3rd party bid.


Cruz and Levin are careerist house broken GOP plantation conservatives. They are not going anywhere.

“despite holding a grudge against the billionaire for insulting his wife’s appearance “

The day after Cruz released the Melania ad. They always forget that part.

Levin saying Trump will lose is intended to depress snake handler voter turn out.

The same with Cruz’s tweet.

Retweeting an article is not stating a position or even agreement with the article, much less total agreement. It could have been a misclick on the links while someone with access to manage his Twitter was reading the article. Might have accidentally clicked retweet instead of like or send to a friend. I’d believe that before I believed the hacking suggestion.

Title of the article is ‘if/when’ Hillary wins. ‘If’ is still in the title, so it’s not a total concession of the election. And it sounds like Cruz would’ve been focusing on the ideas in the article relating to forming a new party, not related to predicting the election.

Nope. I’d say 30% is about right. You have 3 groups in the GOP: Patriots, Ted Cruz type GOP plantation porch conservatives and Bush country clubbers. Only the Patriots would consider leaving the party, IMO. In the end it’s better for us to stay and be the GOPe’s worst nightmare until they agree to govern in a conservative manner.

No, they’re not. They’re committed ideological conservatives who subscribe to a very consistent set of policy positions and principles, and put those above any party label.

Believe but have a backup plan. That’s my motto. No battle plan is complete without a retreat plan.

Mark Levin makes some good points,.....but if Hillary wins she will stack the Supreme Court......the Constitution which he expounds upon incessantly will be eternally redefined.....(that means NO MORE AMERICA DUMBO)

Levin & Cruz have done so much damage already that their political motivations & funding sources are highly suspect....

Total B.S. Cruz released no Melania ad at all. That was released by a SuperPAC run by Liz Mair, who had expressed for months on Twitter her preference for Rubio or Kasich over Trump. She is a RINO type who dislikes strong conservatives.

Levin has fully endorsed Trump over Hillary and argued with his callers that they should vote for Trump. He talks for 3 hours a day. You can’t expect him to withhold discussing all of the points where he either agrees or disagrees with every candidate.

‘The house and senate seem to just hold hearings that go nowhere.’

That’s only when the GOP is in charge. When the Dems have a majority, things get done. For example: Obamacare

So all it takes is a bogus hacked tweet to get us to form the old circular firing squads? Really folks? Are we so easily distracted from focusing our fire on our REAL ENEMIES — HILLARY & her progressive co-conspirators.

Well, when you take into consideration that the ‘down ticket’ is the same congress and same Senator that didn’t fight Obama on anything. I suppose you’re right.

They did not do their job. They are not representing conservatives. Other than a few, why should I care about them. Ryan is kaput. He’s going to get a hard challenge over the speakership.
