Donald Trump and the crap he is peddling is so disgusting. At some point even the most ardent Trump followers will recognize making absolute enemies out of your primary opponents will only ensure a complete loss.
I actually have more abject disgust for Trump than any other candidate ever.
“making absolute enemies out of your primary opponents will only ensure a complete loss.

Oh. The. Irony.
“I actually have more abject disgust for Trump than any other candidate ever.”
Good, because I am of the opposite opinion so my abject disgust cancels yours!
I'm with you, but I do disagree that Trump supporters will recognize how Trump's campaigning is self destructive. I think they are so invested in him (similar to the obama phenomenon) that no matter what Trump does they will defend it.

Again I agree with you, especially because of all the damage he is doing to conservatism. We were poised to win with a conservative and to have both houses of the legislature with a strong mandate. Now we will end up being lucky to keep the House and the Senate. I think the Executive has already been lost. Any nominee coming out of the convention is going to be smeared with Trump's behavior and words.
That is where I am at as well. I find Trump, his candidacy and many of the lemmings that follow him and echo everything he says to be about the lowest point in right of center politics I can ever remember in my lifetime (in this nation at least). Trump is a vile cult of personality that knows nothing other than insulting, belittling, trashing, etc, just about anyone he doesn't agree with. His supporters have destroyed conservative forums and filled them with hatred, venom, invective, etc, beyond anything I can recall.
And make no mistake, if Trump is the nominee (which is still likely at this point) he will get crushed by Clinton. He has alienated so many people, including so many on the right, that he basically stands no chance of building a winning coalition. He polls so badly with women at this point that that alone would probably make it impossible for him to win.
Trump should have been told to go 3rd party from the outset. The RNC should have called his bluff. He would not win a 3rd party bid for the White House and he knows it. Trump doesn't like to lose and wouldn't have stuck with something that gave him no chance to win. Trump is a cancer in the party and the sooner it is wiped out the better.
There is actually evidence on twitter that the Rubio campaign was pushing this story earlier. Do you have evidence otherwise? I would like to see it.
Funny how that works. I feel the same way about Cruz.
