And that would be the end of the Republican Party. If Trump wins, or comes close, and they install Kasich they’ll lose everything in a landslide. Not just the White House but the senate and house too. And record numbers of state and local elections.
There won’t be enough elected republicans left anywhere for the lobbyists and consultants to care anymore. And Hillary will finalize the death of this country...
The only reason Trump ran was to split the party and help Hillary. If Trump is denied the nomination many of his democrat and independent voters will vote for Hillary or simply not vote. It is inevitable. Better to amputate the cancer now and start fresh without the angry moderates like Trump, Perot and Buchanan.
As for Cruz if we have to sacrifice his political career for the Conservative cause so be it. We’ll find another TRUE Conservative to run.
