Well I guess then you have a problem with me.

If Trump does not go into the convention with greater than 50% of the delegates, he has not yet earned the nomination, pure and simple. In that scenario, the fact will be that most people did not want him.

I believe nine out of 10 Rubio supporters would go to Cruz before Trump. Not sure about Kasich delegates but that is what the second and subsequent ballots are for. Let Trump make his case that he is the best man for the Republican Party to the uncommitted delegates and let Cruz make his.

If Trump wins, I will support him. If Cruz wins I hope you will support him. If the the GOPe tries to pull a fast one and pick someone other than Trump or Cruz, I will support Trump’s (and I hope Cruz) third party bid. It would be the perfect way to get a third party started to bypass the Uniparty we have now.

Yes, I will support Cruz if he wins. No chance I won’t.

Like I said upthread, if they pick anyone other than the person with the most delegates at the time of the convention, then war.

If Cruz has the most delegates, then pick him.

If Cruz has the most delegates, and they pick Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush, war.

I don’t think that there is any possibility of Kasich or Rubio being that person with the most delegates, so I am not going to concern myself with that scenario atm.

My position is the GOP had best honor the wishes of its base, otherwise to Hell with them.
