especially in light of the fact no winner has been declared???

But the "Can't Winners" have been fully qualified.

“...being derived of their vote...”

I thought the same thing! Of course no poster can deny us our vote. And I will proudly cast my vote for Cruz at my Washington state convention first, and then at our primary. From what I can gather the convention will probably mostly Cruz voters. The primary could very well go Trump if he comes and holds his big rallies, etc.

It will be interesting to see if the Trump delegates fare better at this later stage, or if folks that had preferred Cruz slide over to Trump at the convention.

See my post 279 and tell me what will YOU do when Trump becomes a GOP-e toadie?

Never happen you say? Then I say he has NO CHANCE.

Real winning attitude you've got. If I thought it was that hopeless I'd give up on politics.

Trump can and will force the GOPe to play his game by his rules. He's been doing it for months. He crushed their "champion" Jeb Bush with a few insults and some tweets. Every negative ad they run against Trump makes him stronger. He can't be defeated with the old tactics. He's schooling the GOPe hard. Just watch, listen and learn.

“pro-Hillary posts”

I dare you to find any post of mine supporting Hillary. No, me saying I don’t support Trump is not the same as saying I support Hillary.

What do you know about this website after only signing up yesterday?..... You know nothing about the people here and you sure as heck don’t get to sit on our front porch, masquerading as if one of us, and tell people they need to leave......there’s only one man that has that authority here and you’re not it.

The cited claim is dishonest by omission.

That statement makes no sense.

here’s what the owner of Free Republic compiled about Trump’s history and positions a couple of days ago.

Again, which of those positions is more Conservative than where Romney was in 2012?


If you disagree with it, I suggest you take it up with him directly:

Setting aside your endorsement of groupthink, your repost of JimRob's statement does not make a comparison with Romney's 2012 position.

Cabra means goat.

Chupa means sucker.

and Elmer Gantry knew all the right things to say as well.

Talking the talk is what we have gotten from the GOP for far too long. Time to let a patriot get a shot.

No, me saying I don’t support Trump is not the same as saying I support Hillary.

It's been explained so many times I'm getting bored just typing it out, but I'll give it one more try.

If there's a contested convention that denies the nomination to Trump, the frontrunner with the most votes, most delegates and most states won, the GOP will be split and Hillary will win.

So to oppose Trump at this late date is to help Hillary.

Think through the probable results of a floor fight where Cruz, by some miracle, wins the nomination. Do you really think he goes on to beat Hillary?

I have my doubts about Cruz's ability to beat her even if he'd won the majority of bound delegates prior to the convention, but it's too late for that. Now it's a bloody battle at the convention or nomination of the frontrunner.

Which would you prefer?

I would say that most of us Cruz supporters don’t think Trump can beat Hillary. Head to head polls show that Trump is by far the weakest of the three Republicans still in the race (he’s down 9.3 in the RCP average). I believe that a Trump nomination guarantees a Hillary victory.
