Assuming you meant “#NeverTrump wouldn’t have been formed”

Yep, that is what I meant.

Trump the conman is still plausible.

Still licking your wounds I see.

Flawed logic. That is exactly what they would do. Look what happened to Cruz when the RINO’s climbed on his train. If they were pulling that sofisticated a con then: “immediate support for Trump from the likes of the Bushes, and Ryan.” would be the last thing they would do

Flawed logic according to you. I think the whole premise of this thread is ridiculous. Just as your contention that the RINO support was spontaneous, and that Cruz didn't welcome them in with open arms. I suppose that Neil Bush bullied his way on to the Cruz campaign, or did he welcome them in with open arms? Of course the only reason either of them agreed to the relationship was to try and stop Trump. If you actually believe that the Republicans are actually sophisticated to that level, and that they knew it would succeed, then I would say it would be a first that I have ever seen them show that much creativity. But let's suppose that they did indeed target Ted to get him knocked out of the race, then throwing the nomination to Trump. Why play any games now? Why not just say we now support our nominee? Having Hillary become elected by continued division within our party, would ruin their well laid plans to have Trump take the hit.

“Why play any games now? Why not just say we now support our nominee? Having Hillary become elected by continued division within our party, would ruin their well laid plans to have Trump take the hit.”

Sorry to have to point out the obvious but that would make it
possible for a third party candidate to move in or even Cruz
to get back in.
Besides it’s all just speculation anyway, Trump could very well be serious about all this. Like I said, “immediate support for Trump from the likes of the Bushes, and Ryan.” would be the last thing they would do.
Trump the conman is still plausible. Was Obama the Conman implausible?

“Still licking your wounds I see.”
Still an ass I see.

May I point out another fact that in your pursuit to be the
ultimate ass, you seem to have totally overlooked, though I
doubt you would have ever thought of it on your own anyway,
Ronald Reagan was a great conservative president even though
he had the ultimate RINO ridding in on his coat tails as VP.

Here’s something you can use to make yourself look as smart as
you think you are.

What did Reagan and Trump have in common?
They were both actors.
