Yes, I Would Vote for Donald Trump For President [But he won't be the Republican nominee]

Erickson is talking out his rear.

If the GOP conspires to keep Trump out of the debates in violation of their own rules then I will vote for Trump whether or not he ends up as the GOP nominee.

The old farts from the GOPee are not entitled to my vote!

[annieokie]

the nominee? It will not be Donald Trump. That’s just the truth"""""".

I fail to see how that is not possible.........this is a very unique time and anything is possible.

[Din Maker]

The GOP Establishment will push Trump until he runs as an Independent Third Party Candidate. They are too stupid and proud to leave the guy alone and let this thing play out. Why? One might ask. It’s because they’d rather have Hillary in the White House than Trump.

[GeronL]

I won’t vote for Trump under any scenario

I’m only voting for a conservative this time

[erod]

Usually, not a fan of Erickson, but I really think he hits the nail on the head with this article.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

I’m sure many were equally pessimistic about Reagan in ‘79.

[BerryDingle]

I’ve reminded people that Trump has been a Democrat donor with Democrat positions

Eric Erickson fails to mention Trump is a buyer and he cannot be bought by special interests. As a wealthy business man you better pay off both sides of the aisle. This is what scares the GOPe, Trump can't be "influenced" by the GOPe's special interests they were bought with.

And now the establishment that hates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% is piling on him too for daring not to pile on.

And that is exactly how the left behaves to force compliance with their ideals.

These scumbags would go to the gestapo to express their concerns that Herr Cruz wasn't saluting der fuhrer with appropriate enthusiasm.

Trump is the Happy Gilmore of politics and that's not a put down. If you have seen that Adam Sandler movie a hockey player broke onto the PGA circuit (GOP primary) with the gift of the long drive. His uncouth ways let to many not interested in the PGA (politics) flocking to the PGA (politics) for the first time. In politics my wife has never taken an interest in the primary, but she loves here Donald. The PGA saw massive ratings increases and in the end Happy won the Green Jacket and the girl. Will Donald win the Green jacket? He deserves it more the 75 percent of the people running.

Anyone who supported Obama in 2008 will never be able to shed the RINO tag. Trump is a RINO. Trump is not to be trusted.

I’d love to see a Jeb-Hillary-Trump poll.

I think this kind of poll is coming.

[Mount Athos]

“The meltdown is delightful to watch and after years of putting up with pompous, preening members of the Establishment telling conservatives they have to suck it up”

I’d put the author in this category

Right, but Reagan and also served as Governor of the nation’s most populous state. There was at least an underlying knowledge of Reagan’s ability to govern.

Erickson is talking out his rear.

Erickson is not a deep thinker.

Hey Genius, say it was between Bush and Trump, you would vote for Bush? He would likely say yes. That's all you need to know about the "deep thinker" Erickson.

Trump is shaking up the evil GOPe. I want to see the GOPe politically destroyed.

[Shelayne]

I love Campaign 2016 so much I wonder if Anthony Kennedy would let me marry it. And I bet I can find 300 Republican operatives to sign an amicus brief supporting me!

LOL! Great line!

[italianquaker]

Trump will not get my or my families vote. I will write in a candidate. That being said the issues he brings up need to be out there

[annieokie]

I’m sure they were. Thanks.
