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?
I will write in Donald Trump.
Trump, 3rd party.
I always rolled my eyes at the Uniparty comments, but I'm beginning to see the point.
There is no concept as conservative as listening to the voice of the voters. I can't see myself supporting an appointee.
It would appear that the media has done a really good job of fragmenting the non-democratic vote for Hillary. A few months ago I thought there was no way for a Dem to win, but now I would say it is theirs to lose. They have made Trump out to be a women hating version of Hitler and Cruz a dangerous religious fanatic. Now people are talking 3rd party run by Trump which means only the democraps win. The country is screwed and the media has done the screwing.
It’s my understanding that the RNC/GOPe either have or are about to change the rules from last convention eliminating the 8 state requirement, so as to make literally anyone eligible for the nomination.
At least for the second time around, of which you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll see to it a second or third time will happen.
Therefore anyone anybody names is a possibility.
No one.
The guy who installed my garage door...He seemed to be pretty sharp...
If they don’t nominate someone who is actually running, I’m staying home. The likes of Paul Ryan can go pound sand.

(D) - Detached
(R) - (un)Realistic
(I) - Imaginative
when what we really need is
(A) - American
well since trumpies will either sit out or write in trump if they don’t get their way, let’s just coronate Hillary now
No.
I suppose some would say that I’ve voted GOPe from Reagan to the present. No reason to stop now.
Good idea, but only if he pickes Caitlin Bruce Jenner as VP to balance the ticket...Commie/Conservative, Male/Queer
Any DC outsider. The I scratch your back and you scratch mine Cabal has got to end. To represent the people does not mean an insider’s job to personal monetary enrichment. No one leaves DC with less money than they went in with. They end up with about 500% more I’m sure. Nice job if you can get it, and even better if you hold on to it for 20+ years. Congress gives one a new meaning for “selfies”.
If I do vote, I wouldn't write in a name or leave it blank. I'd vote for the third party candidate so my ballot couldn't be altered and it would be counted. I will vote against any Republican who endorsed someone other than Trump in the primary or does so at the convention.
Simple.. I’ll stay home.
Maybe.
I am pretty confident Trump will be rejected. I suspect it will be Cruz.
But creepy Kasich is probably the choice of the RINO elite and he will get sacrificed at the alter of the DNC -— to Biden, not Clinton.
YES SIR. Ton Tancredo, and they think Teddy is a great American and conservative? Take a look at Tancredo.
The man was literly drummed out of the GOP because of his stance on Illegal Immigration.
I will never vote for another GD shsyter like Ted the Eff’r Cruz.
