The Republican Party as we knew it failed in the 2008 election. By nominating someone so weak that he would campaign with a limp wrist and lose against Obama, the GOP put itself in Hospice care. By nominating someone even weaker to run against a known failure in 2012, they lost the last vestige of trust that their voters had in the leadership.
Today, by running a series of favorites, all of whom are pro-Amnesty, pro-Obamacare, big government liberals, with no regard to the values of American conservatives, the GOP leadership has completely lost the already skeptical base of the party. Who they choose as the nominee no longer affects whether they will be trusted. I pray that a new party will rise, one that loves America as a free country and ignores the Chamber of Commerce push for cheap illegal labor.
Goldberg. Another establishment wonk trying desperately yo protect his rice bowl.
I don't think that's quite the concern.
If it is a fair fight and Trump loses, that's one thing.
But if the candidates spent hundreds of millions of dollars expecting one set of rules, and then the Party changes those rules later to put their thumb on the scale, that's another thing entirely.
If Trump comes up short, he should be expected to deal with free delegates, or make alignments with other candidates fou their delegates.
But if the Party tries to disqualify the delegates that people voted in good faith for, or if they try to substitute ringers in place of delegates that people voted in good faith for, then there will be trouble.
That is what would incite the doomsday scenarios.

Thanks for posting this Jonah “GOPee Safe Space” Goldberg article from Clownhall. :)
Ahem. . .
Both Trump, for the GOP, and Sanders, for the Dems, are basically ***the same core message***:
Destroy Establishment Politics, utterly. . ..
Just reading the headline... but great! We can’t stand the GOP as it is.
Sometimes it pains me to remember how good National Review was back before Jonah Goldberg and the girlyboys.
The establishment played their electorate for 7 years under Valerie and her man child.
They rolled over for these clowns.
Now people are walking out on them, and going to someone else.
They have NO.ONE to blame but themselves
There was a time this neocon and his mommy were big wampum round these parts
Today it’s not hard to see how we all parted company is it?
I’m a Cruz voter myself, but Trump, when he’s 5 days cold in the ground, will be a better man than “O” on HIS best day!
Both spot on: Dennis Prager: 2 irreconcilable Americas
Jonah Goldberg: 2 irreconcilable GOPs
"...you cannot have a party that's both Reaganite and Trumpish. . .Get over it and pick a side."
Buzz off, chubby boy. You mean nothing anymore.
...and I feel fine.
