All of this goes back to the concept that we were supposed to vote for Jeb Bush in the primary period, and Jeb would have the sufficent votes by this point to avoid an open convention. We (the pretenders, the Republicans-in-name-only, the fakes, the lobbyists, the insiders, the outsiders, and the Reaganites) didn’t follow the script. It’s our own fault.

Interesting equation is, if 1/3 of Trump voters will not vote for another republican, and trump averages 45 percent of the vote, then 15 percent of republicans will not vote for anyone else.

However, how many of those are NEW republicans because of Trump? this number would have to be deducted from the 15 percent.

Still, even if it were 10 percent, that could affect many elections nationwide and hand the GOPe a beating. Good.

A 10 percent stay at home rate among republicans if Trump is not the candidate would, depending on what affiliation charts you look at, result in a 2.6 to 4 percent loss of votes for the republican candidate, if it were not Trump.

Feel free to rip apart or dissect.

So you liter FR with Cruz this and Cruz that which makes me curious. Just what is your candidates strategy? He has no chance to win the needed 1237 so he must be gonna try and steal he nomination. Do you HONESTLY believe he will be the nominee or are you just trying to prevent Trump from becoming the nominee? What say you?
