Not to be too ‘brilliant’ for you, but a 3rd party candidate who actually wins electoral votes might be the only way the republican nominee can win.

Unless a miracle happens, with the baggage Trump has managed to build up for himself, he can’t win on a 3rd party ticket... and if we end up with a democrat, we are toast!

Thanks to levin, GOP, media, and out-to-lunch masses, this is not going to end well. I had hopes that Trump could manage to get hold of this runaway wheel and fix America. He has the guts and stamina to do it.. but he shoots himself in the foot with his mouth.. and evidently he won’t listen to Melania nor his strategists, for surely they have been advising him to shut up or grow up.

That ain’t gonna happen.

And it makes more sense for the candidate with far fewer delegates to drop out.

I’ll wager that much of the GOP-E wants Trump to go third party, and they want him to commit to it before the convention.

They want him to be strong enough to win electoral votes that would put the presidential selection into the House of Representatives. The GOP controls around 35 of the state Congressional delegations that would each get one vote.

Meanwhile he has the GOPe and Cruz stealing delegates and the GOP blocking candidates instead of just letting there be s contest with a result by the voters.
I think the GOP is burning itself down.

The other two GOPe clowns have done the same, so non-story.

But what’s the point? We could put Bernie Sanders on our ticket and beat Hillary.

Dear God I loathe this narcissist with a fervor that is bordering on un-Christian. This forum is becoming spiritually unhealthy for me.

He is leading throughout the northeast and the pacific coast.

The ‘down in the mouth’ reporting is designed to dishearten Trump supporters.

Personally, I don’t give a rip that he retweeted an ugly Heidi Cruz pic, that he said abortion is breaking the law if it’s declared illegal (duh), and that he wants to pay off the debt in 8 years.

So what. The first one was simply part of the same game that Cruz was playing, the second is actually logical, and the third is something that I do want.

So, what’s there to be depressed about?

I’ve said this before and you won’t answer , and instead you go off on another thread repeating your crap.

Tell me why should the winner, the one in front with over two million votes, nearly 3 times more states and more delegates stand down to let a runner up in?

Why can’t you answer it?

Any sport, any race where the leader then steps down and states I will let the guy behind make in.

Name any place where that has happened.
It was over or cruz after FL and his dismal display in the south and in the 3 swing states where he came 3rd in all and can’t even win a single county in VA, FL which we need to beat Clinton/

I don’t think that would work.

Don’t you remember Obama, how the media treated him?

Once this is settled, Hillary will be the Goddess of Wisdom and Light according to the media. Just watch it unfold.

I thought Donald met with the RNC Establishment last week and everybody left the meeting a happy camper?

What happened?

Actually, that was cover. It was obvious in the follow on reports that there were some heavy words between Trump and RNC.

“Wisconsin — whose pivotal primary on Tuesday will put for up grabs another 96 delegates”

Or 42 as reported everywhere else?
