I have some of the same reservations you’ve cogently stated. What’s your plan B then?
And what did you think about Palin? She has just said she’d be happy to be his selection for vice president. How do you feel about Ted Cruz? He’s not criticizing Trump - he’s collaborating with him.
Why is Trump plan A? We have 16 candidates already who aren't Democrats in and the primary hasn't started yet. Why do we have to let the media dictate this primary before it even started?

I love Palin. I actually posted here on FR that she should be the VP a week before McCain picked her. I don't know why she is playing footsie with Trump. She's had a lot of pressure on her from the media, and she obviously screwed up in her Alaska governor endorsement last year.
As for Cruz, he looked like a great conservative, but in the last few months he's had some incidents that worry me about him going RINO. And his toadying to Trump makes him look small. I hope he can turn it around. Plus, Trump will never endorse Cruz when he drops out. It would be totally in character for Trump to say something very negative about Cruz on his way out.
I like Jindal too, if he can gain momentum.
I don't see this is as a perfect primary, but the idea we should abandon conservatism and focus on Trump before it has started is stupid.
