I have been having this discussion with some friends of mine who are in the Trump or Cruz camps, and people have come up with interesting ideas. Here is the question:
If the GOP race goes to a contested convention, and Trump and Cruz cannot be the nominee, who WOULD you support to be the nominee? In other words, who is your second best choice if Trump or Cruz cannot be the nominee?
none of the above, the establishment can go rot.
You didn’t hear that the clintoons were so broke when they left they had to steal the China and furniture. /s
It is really trump or nothing.
Cruz has crossed the rubicon into the GOPe kookaide.
That pick ought to cause more than a few to crap their pants.
Oliver North
or
John Bolton
Newt.
Why not Sessions, Lee or DeMint? Why hero worship?
It’s a pointless question because the party would be in tatters but, if I was seeking a compromise candidate that might keep both the Trump and Cruz supporters from revolting, I’d look at Jeff Sessions or Col. Allen West.
“Writing in trump.”
Hopefully you will have to stand in line for an hour to cast your throw-away vote.
Wouldn’t be voting.
Why is this even up for discussion? Is this a trial balloon?
Trump gets the 1237, unless he self-implodes. And if he doesn’t implode and gets the 1237 but the RNC changes the rules to omit him, then we’ll have a summer of ‘68 all over again. The difference will be that with the Internet, I fear that every unstable person on the planet will know where to find the Elitist Ruling Class should CW2 break out. My worst scenario would be that people and their families (on both sides) would just start disappearing.
Then when Hillary won and came for the 2nd Amendment lovers, multiple the above x 100. They really just don’t understand how many people have reached their “line in the sand” moment.
It would be worth it.
That is awesome. Your mom is lucky to have a child like you.
..maybe convince Jim DeMint to jump back in with Duncan D. Hunter as Veep...
Would Jeff Sessions unite the Trump/Cruz factions? Strong on the border, solid conservative.
I just think that if Trump does not have the majority of delegates at the convention, the nominee is not going to be Trump or Cruz. It is going to be someone else. And people better be prepared to fight for a conservative to be that someone else and not Jeb or any other GOPe shill.
If Trump is nominated, Hillary Clinton gets at least 350 electoral votes, winning with ease.
Yep, if she is indicted, Biden will be the Dem candidate.
I thought I could support Ben Sass. He seemed awesome! But then he had a drunken night and went full anti-Trump and now I could never support him ever again.
Netanyahu.
