Trump supporters WILL stay home.
At that point it’s a disaster.
Probably talking Dem control of WH, SCOTUS, and Congress for decades.
We can forget about politics on FR and just discuss guns, prepping, and sports.
“If the 2nd place guy walks away with the Republican nomination, we deserve Hillary.
Trump supporters WILL stay home. “
Dems are counting on that.
That’s why Trump must be the nominee.
Why do you expect us to toe the line and vote for Trump, if you wouldn’t vote for Cruz? People have to realize that this has nothing to do with your own ego. If Trump goes into the convention with 1237 delegates then the majority of Republicans want him to be the nominee. If he can’t win the first vote, then people have a right to cast a majority vote for another nominee. Everyone’s vote should count and the nominee should be chosen by the majority. I’m ready to vote for my country and not my ego and you should man up and do the same.
Trump supporters WILL stay home."
So let's say Trump goes into the convention without 1237 delegates, but has more than the 2nd place guy. If Trump can't make deals to get over the top, then he's not the great all-powerful dealmaker that he claims to be, is he?
He doesn't deserve the nomination if he can't get a majority of delegates. And let's not forget that most of his wins so far have come in states which allow Democrats and Independents to vote in the Republican primaries. In closed contests, Cruz has actually won more than Trump. If Trump proves he can win first place among REPUBLICANS, fine. Then he'll likely get the nomination. The jury's still out.
As for Trump voters staying home. Who needs 'em? I'm not convinced they're essential. Head-to-head polls still consistently show Cruz beating Hillary. On the other hand, polls consistently show Hillary beating Trump, in large part because Republicans who DON'T support Trump will stay home. And in case you hadn't noticed, in 27 of 28 contests so far, more people voted AGAINST Trump than FOR Trump.
