"The fifth columnists of the GOP are the reason we are divided to begin with."

Baloney. Trump's immature behavior and despicable tactics of personal destruction are the primary dividers. To a much lesser degree, we are divided on priorities and policy issues.

By that, I mean, Trump and Cruz voters have different priorities as to what they value most in a candidate. And that Trump and Cruz have some small, but significant to many, policy differences.

Now in the past, Republicans have, for the most part, come together to rally around the nominee even when it wasn't an individual voters first choice. This time it won't happen, because when Trump was doling out his vicious insults, supporters of the insulted candidates took it personally. Others may not take it personally, but simply refuse to vote for a person with that glaring a character flaw.

It's like on the TV show Survivor... there you have to eliminate your opponents in such a way that you can still get their vote when they are on the jury. Here the only difference is that you have to get their supporters votes, which may be even harder. Trump has failed miserably in that department.

” This time it won’t happen, because when Trump was doling out his vicious insults, supporters of the insulted candidates took it personally. Others may not take it personally, but simply refuse to vote for a person with that glaring a character flaw. “

So it all boils down to hurt feelings? It’s about FEELINGS? The future of our country hangs in the balance and everyone is supposed to be worried about feelings?

Seriously cupcake? Do you need hand-holding? Spoon-feeding? Do you need to be treated like you’re ‘special’? Good. Effing. Grief!

How pathetic. “Trump hurt my feelings so I’m not going to vote for him EVER!” (does that come with a cute little foot stomp too?)

You disagree, but I repeat:

The fifth columnists of the GOP are the reason we are divided to begin with.

Conservatives have been divided ever since Reagan first exposed the Fifth Column.

The GOP-E CREATED Trump just like they created Ross Perot. They created Obama as well.

You don’t want to blame them for a divided party because they are Cruz’ last hope against Trump.
