Trump isn’t a Republican and never has been one. His supporters will probably jump ship if he isn’t nominated but a lot of other Republicans will jump ship if he is nominated. The GOP will probably lose this election either way but the party itself will cease to exist as we know it if Trump is its leader. If Trump is turned away then those “new” voters will simply go back to where they came from.
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.
“Trump, Kasich and Ted Cruz backed out of pledges to support the GOP’s eventual nominee”
The terms Republican and Democrat have lost much of their meaning.
I will assume you're just ignorant. Trumps voting records came out during this campaign. He has voted Republican in every election he's been in. He's attended the Republican convention at least twice. He's contributed equally to Democrats and republicans but for the last 6 or 7 years he donated exclusively to Republicans.
I think you have it exactly backwards.
Many lifetime republicans are ready to jump ship for good. They are that disgusted with the Republican party.
Change your screen name. That word actually means something.
To go where, exactly?
“Trump isn’t a Republican and never has been one.” - This is just patently false. Starting out as a liar is never a good thing.
“His supporters will probably jump ship if he isn’t nominated but a lot of other Republicans will jump ship if he is nominated.” - We’ll surely see which way the wind blows on this.
“The GOP will probably lose this election either way but the party itself will cease to exist as we know it if Trump is its leader.” - If the GOPe screws Trump and the millions upon millions of voters he represents, then the Republicans will definitely lose the election and should rightly be terminated with extreme prejudice as a political party. This won’t happen, though, if Trump is the candidate. The better bet is that the Republican Party will expand its influence to a magnitude not seen since the end of the Civil War.
“If Trump is turned away then those “new” voters will simply go back to where they came from.” - Well, I’m not a “new” voter, having voted Republican all my long life, never casting a single vote for a Marxocrat, ever. But I can tell you that if Trump is screwed out of the nomination, then I will leave the Republican Party, bringing down all of the other Republican SOBs down-ticket that aided and abetted this anti-Trump travesty.
Hey, Brilliant! You’re an idiot! And probably a Cruzer. ...Same thing.
Did you choose the Freeper name “Brilliant” for the same reason a bald man calls himself “Curly?”
