There, fixed it.
It’s very obvious you did not read the entire essay. You missed the point completely. And because of that, it will be people like you that will cause Trump to concede.
Actually, it was a very well written essay and he gave you advice as to how Trump can win. This was a pro Trump essay.
Masterpiece of a cartoon.
LOL! Do you know it’s 2015? Did you wake up and think it was 2008? I hate to tell you this, but no one cares.
Worth reposting as an example of what to do the polar opposite of. For anyone, Trump or Cruz Fan alike
““What you need to be doing is finding out who your county GOP chair is, who the establishment activists are, and you need to cordially and politely be warming up to them. Then, you need to be in the meetings, the social events and gatherings helping them all understand why Trump could work for America.””
It is little wonder this writer/political activist worked for a losing campaign because he suggests nothing less than asking your torturer for more voltage and a baseball bat to the knee.
A guy like trump does not have to play by GOP rules. He has more F-You money than the entirety of the GOP combined. The GOP at the local level is as corrupt as the GOP at the national level. How does any thinking individual suppose there can BE a corrupt national GOP without a corrupt structure underneath supporting it?
What is Eric going to do? Go hat in hand to tell a bunch of people whose job it is to keep people not “of the body” (see Landru/Star Trek) out, that they need to simply look at the situation and put themselves out of job for the good of the opposition?
Sometimes I think people are really that stupid. Other times I think they are paid plants. Either way you do not ‘rationalize’ or ‘work with’ your enemy like Barry and the Mitch/Jonbon idiocy. You subvert and destroy it. Utterly.
Trump has 10 Billion reasons he can do that if he chooses to. Whether that ends in a good thing for America is an entirely different argument.
Cause Trump to concede? I don’t know where you get that from.
I did read it and I stand by what I wrote. I simply do not agree with the author’s conclusion, nor do I see the need for caution.
We aim to win more than an election, if you get my meaning. The Republicans and are dinosaurs. Get used to a new way of doing things.
The big hole in his logic.
I don't for a minute believe Trump is going to have to brown nose local party bosses to accomplish this. And ultimately, that's really all a candidate needs.
Their only remaining power will be to deny him the soapbox to campaign from. Then deny him coverage of his events. Just cover the campaign as if Trump were not in it.

It is rigged.

Romney actually did that to Newt Gingrich down here in Florida. He bought out the airwaves and Newt’s people found it difficult to get airtime. Newt did not have a lot of money for lawyers, but Trump does. I don’t believe TV stations like spending their money on lawsuits so I don’t think they will give him any trouble.
But I do agree with you that a blackout on all things Trump will be exactly what the establishment will be left with in order to attempt to handle him.
What happens when Trump gets the Chris McDaniel treatment from the Republican establishment? We hated what McConnell and company did to support GOPe Cochran in Mississippi; will we accept it when it is directed at Trump?Mississippi was a microcosm of the new GOP. McDaniel was as much of a threat to the establishment then as Trump is now. In 2012, many saw taking back the Senate as paramount, but some of us thought that McConnell saw having a Senate of controllable cronies as more important. The GOP changed after the defeat of Eric Cantor in the House. Democrat scorched earth tactics were now on the table for good (actually, we saw a preview of it in 2012 against Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary after Gingrich did so well in South Carolina). Republicans were willing to do anything to their own, but it still remains to be seen if they are willing to turn that fire towards Democrats. So far, I've seen no evidence of their willingness to do so.
I believe that a desperate GOPe is willing to do anything to stop Trump, and the debate antics doesn't come close to what they are now capable of accepting to preserve their power.
So what will we do when the ugliness of Mississippi returns?
Trump is self-funded and can drain the resources of the GOP unless the GOPe goes nuclear and drops the bomb on Trump in one unimaginable strike that demoralizes Trump and his supporters, and avoids future losses for themselves in a long protracted state-hopping fight (notice the WWII Pacific theater analogy?).
So what do we do when the GOP does the unthinkable and goes there?

There’s this new thing out called an internet or something like that. Maybe somehow people could use it to subvert the blacklist on TV/print.
Radical idea I know but since America lives on the net and print/TV is in record decline, it just might work...
IMHO: Trump has been planning to be 3rd party all along.
