I too worry about the damaged goods impact on either Trump or Cruz.

But in the end we will either stop Hillary or we won’t. If hurt feelings trump (absolutely no pun intended, trust me) voting to keep Hillary out of the Oval Office then we are really totally lost as a nation.

I will vote for Trump if he goes 3rd party. I renounce the GOPe and GOP . They are a politburo with the democrats.

Please realize the GOPe could hardly give a crap what you or anyone else thinks. Go ahead and vote 3rd pary - fat chance you're going to win. It seems most people cannot figure out that the GOP doesn't really care about winning elections.

First & foremost, the GOPe cares about maintaining the party apparatus. Without a functioning organization, party leaders wouldn't have an effective way to siphon off $billions in contributions (bribes) and $trillions from budgetary allocations.

The reason the GOP hates Trump is two-fold:
- He either doesn't get how the game if played, hence the hints that he's not really very successful; or

- He's a narcissistic buffoon, spilling the beans to the rubes and promising reform to enthusiasts who don't have a clue how the US actually operates.

Why the GOPe hates him is very telling - they cannot imagine anyone willingly exposing the secrets of the mob. As anyone can clearly see, he's the only one out there taking the positions he's taking.

Hundreds, no thousands of others in his position toe the party line. Not one of them breaks the code of omerta; anyone who has a clue stays mum.

It is of critical importance that the GOP is wrested back from the mob. The organization itself, not elected political positions, is their lifeblood. That's why they don't care about Trump running 3rd party and/or losing to Hillary.

They couldn't possibly give a sh!t about minor policy differences as long as the uni-party is in agreement with respect to open borders, endless war, demographic/cultural change, and international banking.

True and that’s why also they the uni-party support Canadian Cruz and the uni-party are against Trump

REAL Cruz supporters don’t do that,

I couldn't agree more...I prefer Trump but I'll vote for Cruz in a second if he gets the nomination and will not bad mouth him now.

I agree.

Trump used to be a member of the “mob” establishment. Why do you think Trump turned on them ? I think Trump saw it was wrong and actually does want to save America and us because we happen to live here and are Americans unlike Canadian of Cuban domionist father Rafael “ted” Cruz.

Well, at least now it's the "establishment's" turn to hold its nose for awhile.

It’s good to see a Cruz supporter who understands who the real enemy is.

I think your prediction from an earlier post is about 100 delegates short for Trump. And I think a Trump nomination would be delicious on so many levels.

I honestly don’t think Cruz can win in Nov no matter what the early polls say. I look at the electoral map from 2012 and I can’t see him turning any of the 0bama states.

But I don’t want 0bama on the supreme court, hundreds of thousands of muslim refugees, amnesty, etc, so I will go down with Cruz if it comes to that.

The only way I vote Trump 3rd party is if he’s ahead in a 3 way contest.

I think that if Trump hits 1237 and then spends weeks or months in the media as “the presumptive nominee” it’s going to be beyond the pale, even for the GOPe to take the nomination from him at the convention. I don’t think they’ll try.

Yeah, like Sessions and Hunter and the Congressman from Utah who put his head on a platter yesterday.

And instead the Cruzers called Sessions a Judas because he endorsed Trump.

HMMMMM.

Desperation...

Must be a rude awakening to see the undisciplined constituency acting out.

I wouldn’t call him that and neither did Ted - ‘disappointed’ I think was his word.
