Despite his overwhelming victories thus far, leaders of the party think Trump will lose in the general election and will hurt Republicans down-ticket.

Stunning! They really, really, really just do not understand, do they? Down-ticket? Down-ticket losses if he's nominated? Never once thinking about the hell they'd visit upon themselves if they cheat the voted nominee out of the run? Mitch, buddy......Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind. Get out of your damned DC palace and go out and see drive-by America sometime.

Oh, I will probably stir the Trump people early but here goes!

I don’t like McConnell any more than any of you, but he is likely right here. What has Trump’s “overwhelming victories” looked like? No more than 35% of the vote in any of the primaries! And this was with Dem and Ind crossovers! 65% of the votes was anti Trump. If we could coalesce around one candidate we would kick Trumps butt all the way back to New York. But Republicans are hopelessly divided and Trump might very well win with 35% of the vote. Goldwater did it in 1964 and McGovern did it in 1972 and both got their tails handed to them. Unless your man can truly broaden his support we are going to hand Hillary the election.

A revolution is always caused by the ruling elite ignoring the people. This is a great example. It’s obvious the gop and the demcrats are all in bed together.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Trump get elected, declare martial law and arrest all the crooks in congress and try them for treason. I’m that sick of them. They hate everyone of us so it’s time we turned on them for real. Vote Trump!

Or the possibility that Trump might actually have coat tails, never crossed their mind.
