They'd better wear out their knees praying to St. Jude!
Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

Do you really think the Cruz Carson Huckabee Christians will vote for a man who has nude pictures of his wife out there, whose been married 3 times, multiple affairs he bragged about, strip clubs he opened and God knows what else. Why vote for Bill Clinton trump when he’s what we already had. These voters will go third party or stay home. I won’t vote for a man like this.
Florida will the final nail in the GOPe coffin.
I don’t let myself get influenced by negative ads, especially Jeb Bush’s anti Rubio ads
He opened Strip clubs? That is the first time I heard of it?
Florida is Trump country!
Unless Rubio quits and throws his support to Cruz neither candidate has a prayer in Florida. Even then it’s doubtful.
That’s exactly what I was thinking and I’m more of a Cruz supporter.
I have the feeling it’ll be over by 3/1, Super Tuesday. Would be surprised to see it go to 3/15 when Ohio votes.
How many of the candidates will have a dime left by then? SuperPACs notwithstanding. The billionaires who fund those are typically very smart people who know when to cut their losses.
I absolutely will sleep well. The republican brand (which has been tainted for decades) is directly tied to the RINOs after Reagan who have been elected in. Every year you hear the same old tired argument “you’d rather this or that democrat get in? Damn right I would if it means not compromising on my principles. Every 4 years we are asked to hold our noses then I hear the folks hem and haw over how non conservative he is over the next 4 years. It’s like a child killing his parents then crying because he’s an orphan.
It may take another century for the republican brand to be repaired. Voting a non conservative like Trump (because he is winning) is and has been EXACTLY what is wrong with the Republican Party.
I think it’ll take the winner-take-all primaries for the leading candidate to pull away.
A big winner in Ga, Tx and some other states would change that. But proportional primaries make it hard for someone to get a strong lead.
Oh, are they trying to stop him?
He’s one of them.
Thank you for your post. I absolutely agree with this statement: “Voting a non conservative like Trump (because he is winning) is and has been EXACTLY what is wrong with the Republican Party.” Give us Dole, McCain, Romney and NOW Trump because they’ve waited their turn or can win. How in the hell do I win with someone who has been a Democrat most of his life, donated money to the Clintons, supported the Kelo decision and will probably appoint liberal SC justices. Who the heck knows who he will appoint? Unlike Trump, Cruz has an established track record. Four years of Trump may be another four years of political hell because NO ONE knows what we’ll get, but I’m certain Trump would be a massive disappointment. From Obama to a serial adulterer and strip club owner. Great!
Vote for Mr Single Payor 2000? Not only no! Why do you think every lib in the universe is supporting him? To protect obamacare. He was Mr Single Payor during his 2000 run for prez! Whichever way the nomination blows, you will find trump, Reid, pelosi.
He supports health savings plans and individual insurance sold across state lines. The government insurance is for the poor. Or is having them show up at emergency rooms and hiding the costs in our hospital bills and government subsidies better,? Trump is just being honest about who is paying forthe poor..
>> Think about it
Which means to yield to another’s opinion.
Ummm... Not sure about that “logic” used by the author since there are debates before both the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.
If Trump wins Iowa and New Hampshire, his lead will more than hold up in South Carolina. He should win the Nevada caucus, do very well on Super Tuesday (with maybe Cruz winning his home state of Texas) and roll through through the rest of the primary schedule.
The GOP-e’s only real chance is to coalesce around a RINO candidate like Rubio. But that would mean Bush and the rest of the pack would have to pack up and go home.
I agree. Even Ted Cruz himself has said that if Trump wins both Iowa and NH that he will be virtually unstoppable.
