The Other Shoe Will Drop -- My Theory is no GOP convention, Three Party Election

This sudden and orchestrated list of events -- Cruz drops out,

Sudden? Cruz stayed in long after he was viable and even long after he was mathematically eliminated. Nothing sudden about it.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Wrong—the GOP will rally behind Trump. No third Party stab in the back for the Republican Party. The GOP must not break apart.

That’s it!!!
Trump’s evil plan all along.

First Trump makes everyone else drop out, and then Trump drops out!!!

NO CONVENTION!!!

[HombreSecreto]

Healthy paranoia is fine, but no, that scenario isn’t going to happen.

Could a retard like Romney launch a 3rd party bid? Sure.

Trump will be the Republican nominee.

[reagandemocrat]

Bad idea. That would start the revolution.

[Reno89519]

What are you smoking? This is ludicrous. Wasted my time reading to the end where I see you write solution is make Cruz VP. Seriously?! Cruz lost, was utterly rejected. It's over.

Do you accept that Cruz lost? Do you support the presumptive nominee Trump?

[Raycpa]

The fact that you and I believe something does not make it true or even feasibleSo we Armstrong didn't walk on the moon and Area 57 does contain dead aliens?

[Raycpa]

So it would not surprise me

Based on the prior three paragraphs, nothing is surprising to you.

The GOP will do whatever it needs to do for self preservation. Doing anything drastic is too risky for them. They will support Trump in public but they will probably be helping Hillary in the background...feed her information or tips etc.

[JennysCool]

Meanwhile, I would expect the Republican Party to announce a new and different convention location

Uh ... Canadian dude ... These convention things are decided a long time in advance. Cities vie for them for their economic benefits, especially in times like these.

Somehow, I don't think the Republican party wants to anger the entire city of Cleveland for this nutty little scenario of yours.

Don't quit your day job.

[Jim Noble]

I posted THIS today.

Great minds think alike.

[jimbo807]

No offense, but this is quite silly.

[ThomasThomas]

Nobody has dropped out yet. As far as I know the have all suspended their bids to run. This because of some legal rules about donations. So they all can restart the runs for president.

[Snickering Hound]

Jeb would like you to know that if you can come up with another $150 million, he'll take another whack at it if he can clear his schedule.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Trump needs Ohio. Any Republcan needs Ohio. You pull the convention out of there, a Republican will never again win Ohio.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Hillary will have no choice but to select Sanders as her running mate, in order to capture his voters. Tough times for Trump at that point.

[hoagy62]

That’s ‘Area 51’, not 57.
