Stupid. You can’t ask for, on the surface anyway, a more conservative offering than Cruz.. Rhetorical wise he’s the most conservative voice in a while... In practice he’s a party guy beholden to the same folks as every other party guy, but as far as voice you aren’t going to get more conservative and by and large the voters have rejected him as their standard barer.

Any 3rd party run is just a play to put Hillary in the White House which will confirm to the plurality if not the flat out majority of voters that there really isn’t a damn bit of difference between the two parties at any functional level. And pretty much ensure the GOP is done as a national party.

The Republican leadership have to be some of the stupidest people on the planet.

Don’t bet on Cotton being on the side of the citizens just yet. He attended that soire in SC with The Cheap Labor Express to plot how to take out Trump.

They’ve made it clear what they are. They keep talking, no one is listening. I bet the last two years their constituent call and email volume has dropped. The game is up. Trump is the first chance we’ve had to upset the table. New game. New Deal.

“At this point the only Senator who could run which I would not mock (their partisans too) is Tom Cotton. “

THIS Tom Cotton?

Trump has completely exposed ALL of the LYING RINOs as agents/accomplices for the globalist, PAC/Special Interest owned vermin that they ALL are.

We need a list of these vermin so we'll know who NOT to vote for in the future. I have a list of some of them who attended the Sea Island, GA meeting but I want an itemized list of all these globalists broken down by GOPe politicians, GOPe media websites, & other categories. I need to know who to blacklist. Have you seen one?

Hmmm, you went from all supporters to plenty of supporters on this forum...

Where did I ever say "all" Trump supporters?

Thats pretty weak analysis by you. Trump signed the pledge. He’s about to win this fair and square. And all these boastful conservatives are talking about 3rd party essentially burning down the house so badly there will be nothing left to rebuild. If you are, as many of these people say they are, Constitutionalists, then you don’t really mean it when your methods aim to empower Hillary to crush the 1st and 2d Amendments.

More than half of Trump’s voters are conservative so..... good luck with that.

If Trump goes into the convention just a handful of votes shy of an absolute majority, but has FAR more delegates than any other candidate and the GOPe picks someone not even on the ballot, why yes, that would indeed be the “convention process” at work.

And the “convention process” would guarantee Hillary the Presidency. Great process, hey? Especially for the GOPe party apparatchiks who’ll get to keep their cushy six figures jobs even though the rest of us lose our country forever.

Trump supporters won’t have to do anything special to help Hillary win:

And Trump opponents wouldn't have to do anything special for Hillary to win - he would lose to Hillary in a landslide. Even without a 3rd party candidate from the GOP, up to 40% of the primary voters would rather stay home or vote 3rd party over voting for Trump. If even half of them were to follow through, Trump loses big.

I think Trump has already guaranteed that outcome.

Trump very likely has enough support to win as a third party candidate. He is the only possible candidate who can defeat the democrats with their vote fraud. In any case, if the party steals this from Trump and gives it to someone such as Romney or Bush, tthen Trump would be doing right by this country, running as third party (and winning) by offering people a viable alternative to the Washington cartel/uniparty/globalist cabal. Mr. Trump does not need the Republican party; the Republican party needs him.

When was the last time a party’s own front-runner was targeted for defeat?

Ronald Reagan.

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

Trouble with you own writing?

Trump supporters is an implication of all, or you would have modified it with the word "some"

This is just throwing a fishing line in the water and seeing if anything bites. Or nibbles.
