“Political scientists think “the party” will stop Trump.”
Well, if they do, I’m done voting. I’ve voted in every election since 1970, but if that happens, I’m done. Not gonna vote for “the lesser of two evils” when both are evil, and am not going to vote for any Uniparty candidate, no matter which side of the political coin their picture is on.
“Political scientists think “the party” will stop Trump. They shouldn’t be so sure.”
Right, because every good Republican/conservative seems to love a Democrat liberal Clintonista (my spell checker thinks the word should be ‘Stalinist’ ... !) in sheep’s clothing. Trump only targets Republicans/conservatives for his whinny ire.
Before he’s done, Trump will make Hillary look good to most voters. Which is the point ...
It doesn't matter what these so called political scientist think they know, when it comes down to it, they don't know crap....
We are running this race, and like the article said, we are wild zoo animals running around Georgia....yep we are and don't get in our way....
I like Ted Cruz, and have respect for Ben Carson, nothing to do with Carly, I hope Babs Boxer comes out with some more dirt on her, but my whole support is behind Trump....
Faculty adviser to student: "Which science would that be?'"
"Well, political science."
Faculty advisor: "Son, political science is not science."
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Regarding GOPe, I think that partriots are slowly but surely wising up to major problems with the corrupt, post-17th Amendmnent ratification Senate that lets lawless presidents do anything that they want to do, Trump a threat to the Senate-controlled Washington cartel imo.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt Senators and the lawless presidents that they protect along with them.
If “the party” stops Trump, I will just write him in. The GOP is no longer even close to representing me.
“Political scientists think “the party” will stop Trump.”
I really don’t appreciate the escaped animals. Most Trump supporters I’ve spoke with were really well-informed, with deliberate reasoning behind their voting choices.
Some of my friends from school went into poli sci. They are pretty sure that the GOP would rather give the election to Sanders or Biden than to Trump.
They also tell me that no matter what the rules are for the convention, if Trump has won the primary they will not allow him to get the nomination.
Of course, that will drive many away from the party, but that is considered a good thing.
So, what was Baier expecting Trump to do .. throw up his hands .. and say, in that case, I guess I’ll just give up and go home ..??????????????????????????????
I’m getting so sick and tired of FOX pumping everything in for Jeb Bush. They were not so friendly to his brother .. but they are falling all over themselves because of Jeb ..?? I don’t get it.
Ah, okay. VOX is considered reliable??
So some liberal news sources are okay to cite, but others are not depending on which candidate you prefer?
The party won’t need to take him out. He’ll do himself in.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the angst he’s caused the GOP establishment and the George Wills of the world. And he’s done a great service by bonking the execrable Jeb. I’ve even held open the possibility that he might make a decent candidate and even president.
But no longer. He’s a buffoon. His act is stale. Almost none of the 60+ percent that don’t support him now will move their support to him when their favored candidates fall by the wayside. Once the candidates are down to 5 or 6 his abysmal grasp of policy and political philosophy will become even more apparent. Could you really imagine him going head-to-head with Ted Cruz on judicial appointments? Marco Rubio on foreign policy?
My guy is Cruz and I’m with him all the way. If I had to guess who’ll win, I’d say Rubio. Could be Fiorina but I sure hope not. But it will NOT be Trump. The sooner Trump supporters recognize that, the sooner they can back a serious candidate.

They have never before dealt with a candidate so rich that he can tell them to stuff it.
Thanks, a fun read! (From VOX?)
“...motivated outsiders, like George McGovern’s 1972 campaign team, can also master the rules and see possibilities the insiders miss. Plus, money can buy expertise — the chief operative behind Rick Santorum’s shocking 2012 Iowa caucus win, Chuck Laudner, is now working for Trump.”
It’s an intriguing comparison between the primary elections of Trump and McGovern- Vietnam = illegal immigration as an issue.
“The party” are the voters. Some in DC are not accustomed to that odd idea but they may find out shortly.
Maybe.
The party defenders of the Washington status quo have throw everything at Trump who has solely made the party more interesting to a whole cross segment of people who had tuned out politics altogether. While I still favor Cruz I admire Trump for all the reasons that others have disdain for him. I want GOP who will defeat and skewer their opponents. I want GOP who will not just cower and apologize but will shoot back denigrating their opponents and taking the opposition down with them if it comes to it.
The softer, gayer, big government loving, baby killing protecting side of the GOP has no appeal for me nor most GOP voters. We have no desire to Unite with Democrats in a shared pathway to the abyss. The self styled elites will find themselves very alone if they actually get their way with Jeb or some other squish like Kasich.
So I’m unreasonable and belong in a cage at the zoo.
Alrighty then.
