Please read the whole thing. Pat thinks that Ted Cruz inherits the estate if Trump pulls out and has some other choice thoughts.

If you haven’t seen it- Carville said the same thing—

I’ve always liked Pat Buchanan, and agree with him most of the time. I do think he’s underestimating the electability of Cruz and Carson, though.

Fascinating to watch the ‘pundits’ on TV and read them on the interwebs. They are all GOPe with very few exceptions and cannot grasp how angry ‘their’ voters are with the establishment. There is deep seated anger (almost hatred) of the Boehner/McConnell leadership and their continual betrayal of Conservatives. How often must the GOPe lying be exposed before they realize that the jig is up.

Cruz might get some support if Trump pulls out but he's got a ways to go in getting his message out to pull in the types that trump is pulling in right now.

If Trump DOES pull out he's got it easy...he can just say the Republican party is corrupt and rigged the game to get him out.

Speak the truth...

When was the last time Pat was right about anything?..He’s way past his use-by date..

[tophat9000]

So GOP-e sit on their hands if it Trump...and the base does the same if they run another Bush... so you number wise you think would a push number wise...and who going to get the most Dem crossovers?...

Face it... Bush and the rest of the GOP-E ....IS HATED ON THE LEFT WITH A PASSION ....AND NOW HATED ON THE RIGHT WITH EQUAL PASSION.... Bottom like the idoits it charge of the gop play this mushy middle to the there own death and are just seen as spineless and duplicitous now despised by all sides....pice a side of the road..in the middle of the road and your roadkill hit by traffic coming both ways

“Pat thinks that Ted Cruz inherits the estate if Trump pulls out”

Trump is leading in the polls; if he stays on topic he will remain in the lead. Why is the idea he will drop out always being postulated? His response to Kelly’s question showed he is nimble on his feet. No one else will be ever be sneaky enough to get one harder to answer. Kelly’s accusation was designed to make him backtrack, knuckle under. He didn’t.

Buchanan may have a point

The faction in the GOP that walked on Goldwater still exists

They are not comfortable with the conservative base of the GOP

They will gladly accept their votes if for a RINO

Look what happened to Ollie North in VA in 94

RINOs won't vote for a conservative and conservatives are tired of having RINOs shoved down their throats

GOP may be done as a presidential entity

I’d be happy to go to their forums and prattle on about not supporting Trump the nominee is the same as voting for Hilary!!!!

Except. They wouldn’t care.

They only expect those kinds of guilt trips to work on us.

[taildragger]

“a significant slice of the Republican Party would take a walk”

You know Trump answered the Pledge Question wrong.

He should have asked if I run will Republican party walk on me, they certainly have walked on their core constituency....

But I have to disagree with Pat on this one, if it is Jepito press 2 for English we walk, Trump, Cruz, Walker maybe Carlie, we stay anything else we walk, the establishment is screwed without us.

George Will doesn't have a clue he has it bass ackwards. It will Clinton in 94' after Nafta and the Assault Ban and blue collar union guys stayed home all over again if we get a RINO @ the top of the ticket...

Pat shouldn’t be giving any advise after his terrible campaigns!
