If you really want to hold a genuine dialog and hold any credibility, you need to remove the Trump rose colored glasses. Not advocating jumping from Trump, just “consider” reality.
Whenever Trump stops the agitation and the masses see how boring a Convention really is, it will be surprising (to some) how FEW voters give two hoots about how the GOP makes their sausage and will be happy to not have to hear again this “political crap” until late September.
Either hitlery or Bernie are the worst possible candidates the dems could run. Even Yeb would not have had trouble beating them like a rented mule.
You lack objectivity because you don’t understand who many Trump supporters are, how angry they are, nor do you know how many of them are perfectly willing to burn the GOP down and piss on its ashes, if it comes to that. You are a traditional conservative Republican voter. Nothing wrong with that at all. I used to be one, too, until I looked behind the curtain.
Trump voters, large numbers of them, are not like you. They don’t think like you and they will not behave as you so shortsightedly and arrogantly predict. They are finished being sheep on the R plantation, sheered periodically for money and votes, and then conveniently ignored until the next time they’re needed.
Many others are first time voters, disaffected white males who are both economically distressed and sick of being blamed for all of society’s ills. They see Trump as a means to redress their grievances. They are hopeful, many for the first time in a long time. Remove that hope, and their anger will find an outlet, one way or another.
If you want to actually open your mind and become informed about what this movement is, look into Bikers for Trump, check out the Trump guys on Reddit, investigate the alt right. These are not people who will quietly go away. They are certainly not people who will obligingly pull a lever for Cruz because the Republican party needs their vote to defeat Hillary. They will kamikaze vote up and down the ticket in revenge. Plans are already being made to do just that, and more, if Trump wins a plurality of delegates and is denied the nomination. I’m not advocating their actions; I’m telling you what they are going to do.
After a contested convention, Cruz will not be president. These guys will make sure of it, and all your wishful thinking and confident assertions that this time is really like all the other times, isn’t going to change that. Because this time is different.
The next president will be named Trump or Clinton. Bet on it.
And with that, I’m done. It’s obvious to me your mind is closed. So, investigate if you dare. You might learn something. Or not. Either way, good day to you.
