So...
Cruz people are saying they will stay home if their guy is not the nominee.
Trump people are saying they will stay home if their guy is not the nominee.
Since they both cannot be the nominee, we are almost assured a second President Clinton or, God forbid, a President Sanders.
Great. Just great.

Don’t worry too much. Emotions are running high right now. By election time, folks will have calmed down and will act rationally - except for the craziest ones. There seems to be quite a concentration of those here on FR lately...
It’s also possible (though I think unlikely) that they will end up running mates, which would help a lot.
I think once the nominee is selected and the campaigning shifts into gear against the democrats the mood and the impulse to stay home will change.
I can’t speak for all Cruz supporters. I’ll give trump an opportunity to convince me he’ll be better than whichever idiot the left puts in front of us. I’ll also need to determine if the party needs to be sent a strong message for not supporting a true conservative. My proclivity at the moment is to write in Cruz. Nothing I’ve seen from trump so far has changed my mind.
Good point.
Nobody should stay home!
Look, I’m a Trump supporter and although Cruz says conservative things that I totally agree with, I don’t trust him and for some reason he repulses me. I think it’s a huge mistake to nominate him - heck, if I can’t stand him and I’m a conservative, how does he have a chance at all in the general?
Yet, I promise I will vote for him against the democrat if he is the nominee.
I assume Cruz supporters can’t stand Trump and don’t believe a word he says. I’m sure they think he’ll be a big flop in November just like I think Cruz will flop.
But I can assure you, there’s no way your aversion to Trump is stronger than my aversion to Cruz, and I’m making the pledge right now that I’ll support the nominee even if it isn’t my pick.
I hope you all do the same!!! Otherwise, the democrats win again.
