The GOP has two weeks to take down Donald Trump
MSN News ^ | March 2, 2016 | Dan Balz

The window for stopping Donald Trump closed almost completely Tuesday night, leaving the demoralized anti-Trump forces with two weeks and no agreed-upon strategy for denying the New York billionaire the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump pulled out victories in a majority of the 11 contests that made up the biggest single primary-caucus night of the nominating season. His remaining rivals — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — and their allies were left to cling to the flimsiest of hopes that a reversal of his fortunes still lies on the near horizon.

The GOP establishment is going to go all out to defeat Trump. The wanted Jeb to run and lose to Hillary Clinton. They gave Jeb over $150 million dollars. It didn't help.

Now they are stuck with Kasich and Rubio. Neither of them can win.

“They’re relying on Cruzatorum to be the spoiler.”

The MSM and the GOP establishment hate Cruz almost as much as Trump. They are hoping to see Cruz attack Trump and then they can take out Cruz.

No worries. According to Team Cruz this is all the fault of Democrats crossing over to vote in for Trump. Now that they have got 4 closed primaries on Saturday they are guaranteeing 4 wins for Cruz Saturday.

If Trump loses, it will be interesting to come back here in 2 years and study the comments about our borders, immigration, terrorist on American soil, our military, schools and taxes and unemployment.

Don't kid yourself. There are quite a number of underhanded moves the RNC and their partners in crime, the DNC can make. If you have never seen a national nominating convention go bananas stick around because the Republican one this year will provide plenty of entertainment. What will be going on in the 'smoke filled rooms' in the adjacent hotels will be 'X' rated at the least and 'XXX' more than likely. The Uniparty will not accept Trump with a smile.

Don’t be silly. After the convention they’ll have another few months to work with Hillary to take down Trump. No way they’ll quit if they don’t do it in 2 weeks.

I doubt that. Cruz is an insider and has been for a long time.

I believe they do hate Cruz, but at least for now he’s playing the role of a useful idiot in attempting to take down Trump.
