“What did he get for this, I wonder? What if the GOPe pull dirty tricks to deny him the nomination? Will he stand for that? “
Like what? Bribe the GOP primary voters to not vote for him?
Despite your (and many others on Free Republic) paranoia about the GOP establishment it will be the primary VOTERS who will determine the GOP nominee.
Cruz or Carson or Carly are my first picks. If it is Bush I will hold my nose and vote for him.
If it is Trump I will get drunk first and then hold my nose and vote for him.
If it is the later I will cry for my beloved country on election night as I watch the Democrats celebrate a third presidential win to carry on The Fool In The White House’s policies along wth their retaking of the U.S. SENATE.
BUT the Trump worshipers will celebrate their win over the hated GOPe
I believe the delegates decide the nominee.
