Given the rumors that are flying around about 'changing the rules' at the GOP convention so as to prevent Donald Trump from being the Republican nominee, I think some thought should be given to the potential collateral damage to the Republican Party's efforts in November.
First, I'll state the obvious - if Trump is denied his position on the ballot in 2016, I simply will not vote for president - and I suspect that holds for many, probably a majority of Trump supporters.
So Romney, Ryan, or whoever replaces him will simply have to find another pool of millions of voters to push them over the top, and I'll give them a hit - IT DOESN'T EXIST. The only pool of voters they'll find is the 10,000 or so GOP insiders that can't stand Trump crashing their little conclave. The millions of us that took the time and made the effort to go out and vote, we'll simply will NOT VOTE for this new candidate.
Now I assume the above is already obvious to the GOP Leaders, so it's time to add a bit more to the mix. Do not, for a minute, think that us Trump voters have some great love for the GOP. WE DO NOT. We've been asking for a candidate to secure our borders (and that includes terrorist immigration) for over a decade, and all we get are Open Borders types and back-room scheming to try to get Amnesty through - the same Amnesty that is even opposed by a (albeit slim) majority of Democrats. The only people 'extreme' on this issue are the ones (in both parties) that will not let go of this push.
So here's what happens if we do not see Trump on the ticket - you Republican SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN, and CANDIDATES are going down with him. We will not vote for a party that denies its own voters their choice of a candidate...THAT SIMPLE.
So you guys, if you want, can continue your scheming to try to figure out a way to keep Trump off the November ballot - but if you do, be prepared to LOSE YOUR SEATS too, and watch the GOP end up with as much power nationally as it now has in California...a fate deserving of them if they try this stunt.
And you cannot say you weren't warned, for this is YOUR WARNING.
Yup! You nailed it.
Romney fighting like a savage against his own party member, yet he handled Obama like a delicate butterfly.
Didn't Kasich along with 15 others already try that? I believe he won ONE state, his home state of OHIO...He is nothing but a liberal professional politician hiding under the guise of a Republican.His best friend in Congress was the Condit dude, a California Democrat, that destroyed a young girl life with his crazy sex games. hummmm wonder if Kasich helped in his games? just wondering mind ya...
As for Romney and Ryan they fuc*** up in 2008 when they lost to Hussein Obama. and personally, I hope Bill Kristol loses the WEEKLY STANDARD...HE DESERVE TO..ALL OF THEM ARE CRY BABIES..AND NEED TO STAY OUT OF CLEVELAND ...WE DON'T NEED THEIR KIND.. MAYBE THE BIKERS CAN RUN THEM OUT OF TOWN...
DONALD J. TRUMP earned his place on the 2016 Republican ticket..they all FEAR HIM and that tells me we got the right guy for a change...HE WILL CLEAN UP THIS MESS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AND OUR NATION CAN RETURN TO PRIDE, HONOR, DIGNITY, CLASS, AND RESPECT..THAT WE HAD AFTER THE 09/01/2001 ATTACK IN NY, PA, VA.
LET'S ROLL VOTERS..WAKE UP GOP/RNC OTHERWISE DIE AN INSTANT DEATH. AMERICA WILL NOT RECOVER AND NEITHER WILL YOUR ORGANIZATION...
DONALD J. TRUMP IN NOVEMBER..
(yes, I am po’ed..sorry)
Vote. Simply write in Trump and somebody for VP.
**** “It’s all about the gravy train” ****
I mentioned it a few weeks ago, forensic accountants will be in high demand if Trump is elected.
Follow the money
If the GOPe nullifies my vote, I’ll never vote for a Republican again either - - at any level for any reason.
This is one Freeper that will be a kamikazee voter if the GOPe steals the convention. Just cold, hard, vengeance voting.
Add Jeb and Ryan to that list
I wonder if they will open the camps? Who would stop them?
Damn right.
If Trump is screwed by the rino uniparty gopers, they will suffer greatly along with the rest of us. They will become once again the little people they despise.
if Trump is bumped from the ticket, and I seriously doubt he will be, we have the tool for retaliation: we write him in.
The Trump Train will pull into Pennsylvania station one way or the other - believe it!
The gop-e want to lose just like they so obviously did in 2008 and 2012
I have a solution. If the GOP cheats Trump out of the nomination, we will start a write-in campaign.
I’m not there yet, but I’m on the way.
Apparently he does not read his own FB page.
It’s getting really ugly.
I thought the whole lineup of candidates was a smorgasbord of dufus(except for Trump)
Like Al Gore and McCain, being such a loser has made Romney insane.
If Romney thinks he can tank Trump’s nomination we will burn his house of political cards to the ground.
Consultant class only see money spend om ads, not what they are. These consultant makes money on ads commission. Trump had destroyed GOPe consultants piggy bank.
I agree with you. Besides the Cheap Labor Express, it’s the various consultants that are the most alarmed and yes... Angry at Mr. Trump and his unorthodox campaign.
Hell, Hitlery was Romney’s candidate all along. DC Uni-Party, doncha know!
“What about SCOTUS? They will liberal for decades.”
It is strange that the biggest harebrained Liberal on the Supreme Court understands Trump, more so than Mark Levin and other supposed to be geniuses.
