I am braced for anything. This, I believe, must play out for a couple of weeks yet.

No one should quite assume the sale, just yet. It looks very good on its face, but no money has yet changed hands to prove the deal is sealed by any means.

Let’s observe how the TEXAS Republican Convention plays out.
Cruz will expose what is up and what is not, or will he show up at all. It is a crazy year.

Do people actually make money coming up with these absurd ideas? 90% or better repubs are going to rally around Trump, Many independents and Reagan Democrats are going to cross over. States like Ohio and Wisc. are going Trump and we will win in a relatively tight election. Trump will turn out to be a very competent President and we’ll all wonder why we didn’t support him sooner. The polls now consist of a bunch of libtards polling eachother and trying to frighten you. If a guy can manage a 10 billion dollar empire he can certainly do aq better job of managing America!

Bush, Romney — they are the ghosts of GOP past their attendance is neither required or desired — particularly for Romney since I still have a fondness for W.

Hand the reigns of this convention over to Donald Trump and I’m sure it will be a favorably memorable one as Trump will play for History.

8 years from Today. Millions of young adults will be hitting their 30’s and 40’s. What will they be like because Trump was president for 8 years? What would they have been like if it was Hillary?

We need to somehow get Burney to accept the Green Party nomination. That worked well for W. Bush with Ralph Nader in 2000, and may have tipped FL to Republican.

My theory is that by the time of the convention Trump will have made nice with both Romney and the Bushes and Mitt and at least one of the Georges will be there to help carry on the tradition of the Grand Old Party.....

A very small minority of people are going to vote for the progressive Republicans.

I'd like to see 'em try it though and GTF out of any party I am a part of.

This is just my opinion. I have no insider knowledge.

BIG YAWN.... zzzzz zzzzz zzzzzz

The convention is going to happen. Please tell the police to get their riot gear prepared. The Lefty Loonies are going to come out in force. They have months to prepare for their "demonstrations."

That is a very interesting theory. Perhaps that is paussible that it could end like that. For me it is the opposite, I sense all hell will break lose during the convention and Donald’s life is in danger. No matter which method the Establishment chose, no convention or a convention. It is their strong desire and greed to continue on the same path, and to HELL with anyone who blocks them.

Someone has lost their mind!

Do you think elected GOP officials would survive this?

I'm not quite understanding how this scenario would work, but, I do agree that the GOPe is desperate enough to try anything.

It is strange that so many people are not going to the convention.

And I luv your solution to the problem-Ted Cruz as his VP :)

He was the other outside the GOPe hates- Boehner referring to Cruz as "Lucifer in the flesh" as well as his (Cruz's) long history of run-ins with McConell and the rest of the GOPe tell the real story.

They (GOPe) never backed Cruz. Rubio and Kasich staying in the race prove this.

Cruz was trying to thread a needle, and win on his own , in spite of GOPe sabotage. He should be credited for getting as far as he did.

And from the beginning I have thought that Trump Cruz running 1st, 2nd protected them both by keeping the GOPe at bay.

Also from the start- everyone thought Trump/Cruz would be a dream ticket. Nothing has changed.

Cruz on board would convey that Trump is willing to be constrained by the Constitution (most important), would bring in 75-80% of the electorate, would provide Trump with Cruz's excellent ground game and fund raising ability, would give Trump someone who knows Senate procedures and rules backwards and forwards who would fight tooth and nail to get things done in the Senate.

With all this said - I realize it would require an epic meeting and letting bygones be bygones for this to occur- along with acknowleging that on some issues- they will have to agree to disagree.

It all comes down to how much they want to win- because I think it's lights out/game over for Hillary and the GOPe if Trump and Cruz start working together for the good of the nation.

Either way- Trump should be leery of having anyone be VP who has any kind of long history backing GOPe in their past.

Political conventions are huge, drunken orgies, and rich Republicans and Democrats love them. There will be a convention in Cleveland.

There are so many things happening in the election that remind me of the 2010 US senatorial election here in Alaska. Just replace Trump for Joe Miller and the AK Republican party for the the US Republican party and you will see the parallels. All we need now is a murkowski type put up for write in.

Meanwhile, I would expect the Republican Party to announce a new and different convention location, wherein delegates appointed by a process that they fully control would choose a nominee. That person would then go onto the ballot as the Republican depending on the outcome of any legal challenges brought by Donald Trump.

Really? That sort of thing was barely possible in the 19th century. Today, with all the electronic media it's impossible that such a ploy would work.
