I agree. If Trump wins, Hillary wins.
Even if Trump should beat Hillary, we would have Trump.
That’s a scary prospect and four years later we would still get Cruz.
I think we should get him now before the Donald nominates his sister to the Supreme Court. (oh you think that was a joke)
Why should I care what Sarah Digby Parton thinks?
She outed herself as a fierce partisan ages ago.

You got it backwards here. The Salon article touts Trump's strengths; the anti-Trump people are sneering at the source.
Yeah, he's alienating beltway and statist Republicans. He's not alienating the base or Reagan Democrats.
Oh, I just watched that (Cruz on CNN). He was all the things you say... brilliant,impressive and presidential.
But he had a plus factor too. He related so well to the audience members with questions. He is so personable.
I think CNN dude was in awe.
He won’t nominate his sister, but he may nominate someone like her or worse.
General Election Poll: Trump vs. Clinton
Clinton beats Trump
“It is called a prediction.”
Oh, I thought it was a wish list.
Dream on!
Yes!
Something wrong with the brain under the comb over. He cannot stand to be criticized. He MUST lash back.
I think he maybe be a little bi-polar. Yes, I have a degree on my wall... right now it says 72.
But his manic outbursts followed by retiring to his New York bed to put those short fingers to work tweeting.
He is not stable. He would be dangerous. I hope he doesn’t win the nomination.
Sure. Except Trump is at what 30 percent?
That leaves a lot to be desired.
And that’s before the MSM has really gone to work on Trump. It’s going to be interesting to see how Trump copes or doesn’t.
Yeah, kinda kidding about the sister but where Trump is concerned it is not an impossibility.
Gave you the link.
While Trump has alienated many Republicans and has high unfavorably.

Yeah, he’s alienating beltway and statist Republicans. He’s not alienating the base
*****************************************************************************
Well, he’s alienated me...and I’m a part of the base. I started out the campaign dreaming of a Cruz/Trump or, much more likely, a Trump/Cruz ticket. That dream is in cinders destroyed by Trump and his campaign. At this point I think it likely that Trump gets the nomination and I will vote for him (while holding my nose and suppressing my fear that he is just another opportunist like Rubio in his Florida US Senate campaign “promise them anything”). There may be some in the base who will not vote for Trump at all in the general — hopefully not many.
How can so many be taken in by this bloviating fool? You all remind me of my “feel the Bern” lib friends.
Rubio is not perceived by the electorate as completely GOPe - nor totally anti-establishment. He is more likely to pick up disaffected voters that aren't already committed to Trump.
Trump has the radical anti-establishment and the crossovers locked up (actually, in NH he had all demographics locked up). Cruz has pigeonholed himself as overtly religious while being completely unethical. Pray tell how can Cruz expand his appeal. There isn't a 4% - 6% gap between Cruz and Trump as the states unfold. It may well be three times that... or much more.
I gave you a link to that says the opposite.
Trump will seek to sign a pledge that the DNC and their media machine must treat him fairly.
