Right, lose the election, flood the country with new Dems and conservative principals won’t matter...as in California.

Not really that hard to understand, for most of us.

So we should sacrifice conservative principles in order to defend conservative principles? Got it. LOLOL

I will admit that sometimes I’m reminded of “Death of a Salesman”.

“Won’t matter, at least not this time...we need someone that will GET THINGS DONE, even if it gets a bit ugly at times.”

This is all true and the GOP voters are beginning to coalesce around Trump as the man to beat Hillary and make something happen in DC.

No we should WIN...and that doesn’t happen unless you have a candidate that can WIN the general election.

But I agree, lots of people will ‘feel good’ if we lose running a ‘principled conservative’ (assuming that we can find one).

Thanks, there are still a few Rubio/Bush holdouts here that are first trying to take down Trump, prior to going after Cruz.

Then I guess you would support a gay, PP loving, muslim “conservative” if they were a guaranteed winner too....

After Trump takes SC and NV there will be a total shutdown of the Cruzbots as they will begin to realize Ted Cruz has no path to the nomination. Things will get back to normal pretty quickly after that. IMO.

Good point. Once Trump has things under control, people claiming to be Cruz supporters and still attacking Trump will be, by accident or design, AIDING THE DEMOCRATS.

Even now I seriously question the credibility of those who ‘claim’ to be Cruz supporters, but spend most of their time attacking Trump. More likely they’re supporting one of the kiddie candidates (possibly even on their payroll), but know they can’t be open about it and not be zotted.

Can Bernie Sanders beat Hillary on Communist ones, even though she gets all the super delegates?

If you do that, they'll end up running against Hillary-Bush.

Ewwwwwwww.
