Please do. We’ll have NO leverage against the GOPe after they deny Trump the nomination so they need to know ahead of time, along with every Republican running for office that Trump supporters will retaliate against them if they play dirty.

Apparently, so are Trump supporters if he doesn't get the nomination.

Such ignorance.

So are Trump supporters if Trump is screwed out of the nomination.

That's because we would refuse to be disenfranchised.

I’ve met Sen. Coburn in his OKC office to discuss individual industry issues of national importance. He struck me as very smart and well informed on these specific issues.

I think it would be extremely stupid and short-sighted on his part should he decide to run as an independent.

Trump is 9999999999X better than Hitlery could ever hope to be and if he is the eventual Republican nominee, he needs to be supported by all Republicans. He will also gain the support of a number of Democrats and Independents.

Yep, that sentiment is everywhere on the ‘Net. Yours is more eloquent and profane-free than most. ;-)

I’m not sure if i could bring myself to vote dem, but i sure as heck wouldn’t vote for ANY Republican who sided with the GOPe.

You hear that, Republicans on the fence? If you’re a known RINO, you’re already on our blacklist. We’re talking to those of you who are sitting on the fence with one index finger in the wind and the other one up your ***, trying to decide which way to jump. We’re all watching and taking notes!

RINO/GOPe side of the fence or Trump side of the fence? Make your choice.

You act like you some how know that Trump is a liberal Republican. How do you know that? All his campaign policies are conservative.

You act like you some how know that Trump is not a liberal Republican. How do you know that? All his stated policies before he started campaigning for President were liberal. Most of his campaign policies except for immigration are still liberal. When he talks about 9-11 he sounds like a far left wing liberal.

Trump is a salesman who knows what to say to close a deal who believes that everything is negotiable.

If Trump gets the nomination I will vote for him because I have at least some hope that he will be better than the alternative. I held my nose and voted for McCain and Romney for the same reason.

However, since approximately 40% of Republicans polled are as adamant that they will never vote for Trump as you are that you will never vote for anyone else we have clearly already lost. Get ready for President Hillary.

Something else to ponder. Under the Constitution, the new President will not take office until January 20 but the new Congress will take office on January 3. That means that regardless of who the next President is, if the Democrats retake the Senate then Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer will have almost 3 weeks to easily confirm all of Obama’s nominees from the Supreme Court down to the district courts.

Then you’re once again doing nothing about the GOP forcing another candidate on us that we didn’t select.

Like him or not, Trump has gotten more votes than anyone else thus far and if he doesn’t reach the magic 1237 because of party obstructionism I don’t intend to take it lying down.

If those 40% that are claimed decide to stay home it won’t make any difference how many Republicans are left in congress anyway.

The people who remember America when it was a free country are getting old and dying every day. Every day we’re being replaced by Bernie bots.

If ever there was a time where we decided “we’ve gone as far as we can go this way”, it’s now.

Like I said, this is what I’ve decided and I’m doing what I can to let people know we can pressure the Establishment with the threat at this point. Once they’ve made their move we’ll have nothing left but to acquiesce or vote Democrat so we can get things to the next level, and you know what that is.

You are not paying attention. Read up on Trump’s policies. They are all conservative.

Trump is easily more conservative than Coburn.

So glad I wasn't sipping on a beverage when I read that.

I doubt a third party would hurt Trump.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the establishment is acting like a cheating husband who was caught in the act and is trying desperately to win back his wife who is going to divorce him and take everything he owns with her.

“I’ll give you this Tom Coburn if you take me back!”

“Remember all the good times we had after I gave you that Mitt Romney?”

“You’ll be sorry if you break up with me for that bastard Trump.”
