That might be a mistake.

I think they do so at their clear and present danger, myself. Even though I’m not a Trump as President supporter.

If they want to insure the party loss in future elections they will do just that.

Maybe, but they sign their own party death warrant if they do that or try to set him or Cruz up IMO.

If that happens he will pull the nuclear option 3rd party and no Republican will win. They won’t do it.

Not without committing political suicide.

Love him or hate him, Trump is a master showman. He’ll completely overshadow any debate they attempt to bar him from, count on it.

Sometimes I do wonder if that’s not their intended goal. I mean, look what they’ve (NOT) done with the majorities we’ve handed to them, over the last 5 years.

Even the talk of banning Trump, flies in the face of NOT banning John McCain.

Whatever Trump is, he’s not the type of man John McCain is.

How come the video lists “Ben Swann” as the author yet you credit yourself for creating the material?

Why have you lied like that?

Please explain.

If the gOpE wants Trump to go third party, this is the way to go about it.

If these fools think Trump is a fool, then beat him, don't ban him. But they can't so they go totalitarian. They won't like the blowback.

if they ban trump from the debates it will split the party permanently. I don’t support trump but the party leadership belter be carful because if they do anything like this the republican party is as dead as the Whig party..

If they did that, he would be more likely to decide to run third party now.

Before the primaries.

Which means that sore loser laws could not be used to keep him off the ballot in states that have those laws.

If they try to pull that they will likely wait until the primaries are actually underway.

Every way I can check it indicates that you are not the author.
Why have you listed yourself as such?
Are you a liar? What else do you lie about?

Beware of n00bs posting a thread about a video, without a good link, and without attribution.

Oh yes ..... kick that hornet’s nest good and hard, GOP. Pour gasoline on the already blazing fire of American anger towards the GOP. Wave the red flag in front of the Trump bull .... and get the horns in the form of a 3rd party run. Just.DO.It Quit pussy-footing around and proudly proclaim your true colors .... all shades of yellow. Don’t be surprised at the resulting backlash ... it’s gonna’ hurt.
