Good. I will not vote for anyone who endorses someone other than Trump, and that includes our soon-to-be-former Senator Portman.

If your guy winning the nomination isn't enough for you, and you plan on extracting vengeance against any Republican who supported someone else in the primary, then I'd say you're part of the problem.

I'm not sure what it is with some of you Trump supporters, but he's not being elected dictator for life, or even dictator for six months. He will be able to accomplish almost nothing of substance as President unless he can get Congress to go along with him, and putting Democrats in control just to spite Republicans you don't like is basically political suicide.

Honestly, it is a worry that attitudes like yours that make me less than 100% sure I'll support Trump as the nominee. If he wins the nomination, and then goes to war against the rest of the party, I won't vote for him. Rather lose the Presidency then put someone in office whose mission it will be to turn Congress over to the Democrats.

As bad as Boehner and Ryan have been, having Pelosi in charge again would be a disaster of epic proportions.

At least with Boehner we got Sequestration. With Pelosi we got Porkulus and ObamaCare

Don’t you think those other politicians have an obligation to the voters to denounce the dirty trick politics? They have to AT LEAST say that they condemn maneuvers that are aimed at thwarting the will of voters. If they don’t, they’re condoning it, and they’re part of what has to be removed from DC

And that is why you can't make a cogent response on these threads. You don't understand.

Did you notice that when Harry Reed lost the Majority that he still controlled the agenda? Did that make you angry?

It's called a Cult of Personality. Many Trump supporters fit into that category. They are way too personally invested in a "leader", in this case Donald Trump, than anyone should be.

I know there is a large #NeverTrump movement which I find to be silly, but at least here on FR I see far more Trump supporters that say they'll refuse to vote for Cruz than the other way around. I pretty much detest Trump for a myriad of reasons, but if he is the nominee I would vote for him over Hillary or Sanders. My dislike of Trump doesn't blind me to the greater evil, which is either of the Democrats who could be at the top of their ticket (which will almost certainly end up being Hillary).
