Windy, your #79 is another great post.
I am hoping at this stage that Trump and Cruz can form a ticket, and winning next year would propel them to positions where they both do the most good.
Even if they have to run a third (actually, second) party to do so—I think the momentum is building for such a scenario.
The GOP-E wants Jeb, and if Jeb is the GOP nominee, Hillary WILL win.
Trump and Cruz represent our best bet to overturn the power of the DC Uniparty Cartel.
It may be our last chance to so as well.

As you said at the end of your post, this may be our last chance to pull off such a thing. If the establishment gets one of their hand picked puppets into the White House, it's all over for this country.
A lot of people are horrified at the prospect of Trump going third party, but I'm not. The dynamics and tensions existing in America are greatly different to what they were when Perot ran. Today, we're on a knife's edge of something akin to civil war, social meltdown, widespread rebellion, or.....something.
People are desperate for a solution to the intentional destruction emanating from Washington. This desperation is what underlies Trump's enormous popularity. People see him as the one person standing who really 'gets' it. The fear that the powers-that-be will once again install one of their phoney baloney puppets, is real and palpable.
If Trump is forced out of the Republican primary, I can almost guarantee that he'll go third party, and you know what? Millions and millions of Americans will rush to follow him.
It is the last chance
