If Trump goes third party, then the Republicans will certainly lose the White House in 2016.

Posted on 07/27/2015 6:17:50 AM PDT by Enlightened1

In other words..., Trump is the Republicans ONLY HOPE for the White House.

If the Establishment Republicans along with their cohorts in the media destroy him, then Trump will be become more powerful. It will split the Republican vote that put in all the Republicans in 2014.

The end result will be either be Hillary or Trump victory in 2016.

I see the Establishment candidates Jeb and Walker as nothing more than McCain and Romney fall guys to Hillary.

Agree or Disagree?

Trump doesn't need to say a word about republicans. We know what and who they are.

Donald should keep up the death to democrats by a million scratches.

Agree, totally. There are few pubbies which would ever get this vote. The majority are nothing more than slimy, hoodlums (not to mention bullies) The majority might as well sit on the opposite side of the isle. Down with the GOPe party...they’ve filled themselves with the flesh on the bones of the bones of WTP far too long. Eating the remaining appetizers and drinking the booze till asleep under the table. The crooks have lined their pockets at our/WTP expense. These snakes are not our friends. Never again, never again!!

This was his plan from the beginning. He wants Hillary to win. Trump’s Chumps don’t see it yet, but they’re being used the same way Perot’s supporters were. That gave us Bill Clinton twice. Trump’s Chumps will give us Hillary.

And what good did the 2014 victories do us?

A few tweaks:

And I hope we keep them from escaping the country after CW-II because there will be extended water-boarding and death panels planned for all of them.

I like to twist the knife a bit when it goes in.

So, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the corrupt GOPe funded Obamacare, funded Amnesty, just blocked “Kate’s Law,” blocked defunding of Planned “Parenthood,” shoved the IM-EX Bank down the taxpayer’s throats, and today are focusing on destroying Ted Cruz.

And you’re worried that the GOPe might “lose” to Hillary because of Donald Trump?

Are you effing serious?

Bush/Clinton Clinton/Bush it makes no difference at all. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. I go with Trump, I go with Cruz. To the bitter end. No more “lesser of two evils.” The GOP can go straight to hell.

Disagree.

There’s not a chance that the GOP will get the White House in 2016. To the point where I’m starting to flirt with whether it would be better in my open primary to pick up the Dem ballot and vote for Bernie Sanders. Who may be a Socialist, but unlike the other Dem candidates is at least honest (and therefore predictable) about it.

There was an article over the weekend about all the Puerto Ricans, who are overwhelmingly Democrat, flooding into Florida. To the point where there’s no way a GOP candidate, even an ostensibly “pro-Hispanic” one like Bush or Rubio, can win it. Without Florida, the electoral college math simply isn’t there for any Republican.

Perot was no conservative, he just had the demeanor of one. (high gas tax, prop abort, etc.)

COMPARED TO BOB DOLE????

Hillary is fine with the gopE as long as they can continue to feed at the taxpayers trough.

And what did we know about Trump’s immigration views 4 months ago?

The recent grades by NumbersUSA make sense.

Hillery would be ecstatic if it was a 3 way election, its how Bill won. It would be History repeating itself. Another wacko Billionaire stirring up the pot for an easy Clinton win. Ya also gotta wonder, who will Trump appoint to his cabinet? Its really not important as to who the President is, its more important to see who they will bring in to help run the Government.

Yep, I’ve been noting the Arnold - Donald
comparison since Trump started chatting up the
campaign thing. I trust him as a conservative
about as much as I would trust Bill or
Hillary Clinton with my 18 year old daughter if I
had one.

If Trump goes third party then I think it puts the Democrats in.

Or a Jesse Ventura? Jesse’s apparently backing Bernie this time around.

Perhaps the gop candidate should withdraw for the cause. The two parties have no particular entitlement to an easy path

Well if you are incapable of thinking for yourself and want web site to do your thinking for you. Then go right ahead.

Even the GOPe candidates admit Trump is further to the right, than they are when it comes to immigration.

This web site is a joke and so is the grading system.

To imply that Mr. open borders Amnesty Walker is harder than Trump on immigration is laughable.

Here is a quote from the Wall Street Journal.

Here is quote from what Walker said is for open borders and Amnesty. This is from the Wall Street Journey March, 2015.

“Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told a private dinner of New Hampshire Republicans this month that he backed the idea of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and to eventually become eligible for citizenship, a position at odds with his previous public statements on this matter”
