I wish people would listen to you. I remember in 2012, there were many people who warned GOP leadership that a Romney nomination would cause many people to vote third party. Of course, party leaders didn't listen. Then, during the last weeks of the campaign (in October) we heard the pitch that a third party vote was a vote for Obama. It didn't matter. A lot of folks voted 3rd party and a lot of folks just stayed home.
NOW WE ARE SEEING A REPEAT OF THE SAME PROCESS. Once again, party leaders are planning to "Push Bush" and sabotage every conservative candidate. They are becoming frightened because their plan to "Dump Trump" is taking longer than they expected and they know that even after they get rid of Trump, they will then have to sabotage Cruz. Bush may be worthless as a candidate by the time they get rid of first Trump and then Cruz. Fox, Rove, et al. are getting desperate.
If they succeed in nominating Bush, there will be a repeat of 2012. They will spend October warning that a 3rd party vote will be a vote for Hillary, etc. and that we have no choice but to vote for Bush. But, we will have a choice and Bush will go the way of Romney.
The leadership should get it through their heads NOW that BUSH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO TOO MANY PEOPLE.
To the GOPe leadership, the only thing that matters is that either their handpicked candidate or the Dem candidate wins because in either case the cartel wins.
It's like Colgate not caring if the consumer buys Fab or Ajax because in either case Colgate profits. The only thing that puts the fear of God in them is a viable third party. The GOPe has had a majority in the House and Senate but they assured the cartel that things will continue as usual by retaining McConell and Boehner as leaders..............
