No they don’t care about winning. McCain practically endorsed Obama in 2008 and Romney gave up after the first debate in 2012.

Their goal is to prevent us from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.

They have been paid billions to accomplish that by The Cheap Labor Express.

The plan this time was to flood the field with as many candidates as needed to slip ¡Yeb! through with small percentages. He’s a Democrat in an R jersey and is recognized as such by a majority of GOP voters, it was going to hard enough without adding in the Trump factor.
The PTB in the GOP/RNC know how unpopular ¡Yeb! is and his positions on issues are liberal/progresive and not conservative. Getting Pataki,Christy, Perry, Kasich, Rubio, Graham, Huckabee, Walker, and Paul into the race was essential to drown out Ted Cruz.
The RNC’s playbook is very effective, McCain and Romney being nominated is proof of that.
¡Yeb! was supposed to be the beneficiary of that this time.

Then Trump happened.

Would it not be ironic if they banned him and he bought three hours commercial free air time opposite their debate.
And he debated himself with himself asking the questions.
On MSNBC.

The way I look at this is that this is Trump’s problem. He wants to be president and he wants to be the leader then he has to show us how it’s done. So far I am very impressed.

In order to show us he needs to use his executive skills to get there. We are in a phase where this is Trump’s show. I am not saying it very well. Trump is showing his skill set as a mover and a shaker. No one else can do if for him except him.

During this process if he tames the GOP and ends up on top then Trump deserves the nomination.

This is a battle of titans and you have to steer clear and watch the show. There is not much we can do except those who support Trump show they are for him.

As I said if Trump prevails over the GOP and the media than he deserves the nomination. This is a herculean task that no other candidate is doing. He will have shown a skill set that is second to none and having seen that skillset we will have observed firsthand how it’s done.

You can be sure that same skillset will be used when he is prez.

Until then let’s see how he moves the chess pieces across the board. It sure looks like he is enjoying himself and it looks like he has a very very strong sense of purpose. I think this is why he is prevailing.

The other candidates give me the impression that they do not know who they are. They have been so focused grouped that they have no idea how to think on their own.

And love him or hate him Trump has something that no other candidate has. He does not hide from anyone or from the media. He keeps getting in the ring and slugging it out. How many interviews has Hillary done? 2? How about El Yebe?

He is amazing.

"…try to set him or Cruz up…"

Too late. That was the plan at the first debate.

First things first ... We have to assign a name / person to “they” then pull out the alinsky bag of tricks and bring that “they” to task and then the next one and the next one (rinse lather and repeat)

GOPe is not immune

Or have separate Debates GOP v GOPe and candidates that cross the line will be eliminated quickly, the GOPe will be left holding their crotch and Faux or whoever sponsors the GOPe debates will lose Market Share.

We are not so far down the Rabbit Hole that Capitalism has been destroyed.

yes the Whig party died before the civil war. it was fractured over the issue of slavery in the same way the republican party is fractured over the immigration issue.

as we have so clearly witnessed, the Republican party in DC is just a ruse because there are no political parties in DC, just the establishment and it has no preference other than putting an establishment puke in the WH. Excluding Trump from participating will hurt the Republican party?? LOL. You can’t kill something twice.

If they did that to him, he would create such a monster media juggernaut that not even Hillary could hold it back. He would suck everyone in and grind them to a pulp. Trump is second to none with this.

If you were paying attention you would let them think you are supporting Trump. As is you are just about as useful as the teats on a boar hog.

Exactly right, but are they astute enough to realize that? I wonder.

In spirit, I agree with you. The soul of the GOP is dead. It is just 1/2 of the club up in Washington, and we’re not in it. But the Republican party still exists as an apparatus, a vehicle, in which a candidate can find form. Now, if they shut Trump out, then the apparatus will die too.

I’m one of the original tea partiers, I was in the District of Corruption on September 12, 2009 with 2 million fellow patriots, an event unrivaled and unreported at the same time.

Those of us who were there know that was the most people ever in DC, the cops told us they had never seen a bigger crowd. And yet most Americans don’t even know it happened.

The Ministry of Propaganda has a stranglehold on information, when we passed the Newseum the crowd started chanting “read the wall”, on the wall was an inscription of the 1st Amendment. One of the purposes of the 1st was to ensure a free press, we have anything but now.

I stopped donating to the GOP/RNC, NRCC, NRSC after the amnesty fight in 2006. That was when I figured out that they were already paid for and were not on the side of the citizens.

If you read those GOP poll/fund raising letter carefully, they always tip their hand as to their true intentions on keeping The Cheap Labor Express running.

Long way of saying, yeah, I’d vote for Trump, if only to get the flood of fraudulently documented foreigners stopped.
