If they steal the nomination, Trump will walk and so will we.

He’s such a cement head. It’s called setting the foundation for negotiation.

The GOP had better watch its step.

If he runs as an independent or third party candidate, he cannot compete in Texas, Ohio, or South Dakota.

And those who voted in the Republican primary couldn’t sign a third party petition for him.

Many states accomplish the same requirement by having simultaneous registration dates for the primary and the general election. Only the states of Connecticut, Iowa, New York, and Vermont have neither a sore-loser law nor simultaneous registration deadlines.

The Trump worship passeth all understanding. Here's a question for all Trump supporters. It's a serious question, not a snark. If Trump had an incapacitating medical event -- in the realm of possibility at his age -- who would you be prepared to accept as the new standard bearer of the movement? Or would you douse yourself in gasoline and set yourself alight, because it's all about Donald?

Most of us who have supported other candidates can readily name a second, third, and fourth choice. All candidates have strengths and weaknesses. None are perfect. Politics involves hard choices, tradeoffs, and compromises. But the Trumpkins don't seem to think in those terms.

He has been running out of the Robert J. Ringer playbook (Winning Through Intimidation) from day one--long before politics.

The GOP should never have let Trump on the ballot, because he’s a cowbird - a critter that flies in and lays its eggs in the nest of another bird.

That said, if he runs third party, it will be a wash because only the GOP Trump contingent (less than 30% overall, but probably even less when push comes to shove) and, based on the surveys, about the same number of leftist white Dems will vote for him. So both parties will lose about the same percentage of ther voters.

If every body thought alike, there would be no ramifications.
Many people consider the intimidation to be political blackmail.
So you don’t? So what. You aren’t everybody.
It is just like his convoluted answers concerning abortion.
Some here are still defending his first answer even though he recanted. He did get both pro-life groups and pro-abort groups in a tizzy. Perception: He wants to punish women.
Everybody cheered when he had a twitter war against Megyn Kelly. To many the perception is: He is a misogynist. Not me, but to them. In the general it will be: Why didn’t he attack Chris Matthews like he did Megyn?
Scott Walker didn’t endorse him, instead of saying, I sure wish I had his endorsement, and if I win the nomination I hope that he will give me his support, Nah, he attacked Walker.
His negatives keep rising and he needs to start doing something to reverse the trend.
I am voting against Hillary and or Bernie this time. It is an imperative that we do not have a Dem in office.
At the beginning, I thought that anybody would defeat the left. I have my doubts.

Trump may not be my number one go to guy, but this is ridiculous.

Trump made the pledge to support the Republicans in return for the Republicans stopping their jihad to destroy him in the presidential primaries.

I don't think the Republicans have not lived up to their end of the idea and will no be satisfied until their little civil war has destroyed the party.

Does anyone really believe that the Republican Party is going to put Ted Cruz, the most hated Republican in Washington, up for the presidency?

By the time the Party of Stupid is done being too clever for their own good they may end up with an Independent or Democratic ticket of Donald Trump and Gen James Webb.

He didn’t just verbally agree, I seem to remember him signing a document.

Guess contracts mean zilch to Trump. Wow...there is a surprise.

Republican leaders shouldn’t twist convention rules in Cleveland to block Trump’s nomination. Nor should they disrespect his voters. But they also should call out the veiled threats from Team Trump for what they are: a form of political blackmail. And no party seeking a mandate to govern should surrender to such lowball tactics

So, since Trump has made threats about what he will do if GOPe steals the nomination and gives it to one of Rove's "fresh faces" they should go ahead and do it because not to do it at this point would constitute surrendering to politicaL blackmail.

But it is not blackmail if Trump tries to obtain something to which he is actually entitled, i.e. the nomination by virtue of having a substantial plurality of the delegates when the so-called "fresh face" has few or maybe none since he didn't bother running.

As a blog which I used to read with regularity, I must say that Free Republic has become no better than any of the many other anti-Trump Cruzer-monopolized websites bashing Trump 24/7 in a mind-numbing lockstep march to political catastrophe by aiding and abetting the RINO-driven GOPe destruction of what’s left of the late lamented USofA through the back-stage chicanery and treachery of election stealing and vote-rigging for their Manchurian candidate Rafael Cruz, the Canadian, who is the object of the slobbery, wet butt kissing and anus-clenching fetishistic affection of the Cruzers who post on this website ongoingly and unendingly, day after day, with their depressing asininity on full display.
