> There is a strong nihilistic edge to the Trumpist crowd. Some are actually more committed to demolishing the Republican party than to Trump winning. in fact, they want Trump to fail — so they can vote Democrat and see the GOP destroyed.
That’s rich coming from a Lyin’ Ted supporter who can’t stop Lyin’.
There's so much foolishness in the above projection that it's almost not worth responding to.
The GOP, as it exists right now in its entrenched, corrupt, Unipaty incarnation, indeed does need to be destroyed, because nothing will change for the better in Washington DC until the status quo of the Uniparty is shaken to its core.
What will truly destroy the GOP is if Donald Trump is robbed of the nomination by the GOPe. The GOPe has suicidally been trying to sabotage their own frontrunner for months at this point, and Ted Cruz has jumped in bed with them. He has become part of the problem, not part of the solution, and the more that GOP voters have realized this, the more Ted Cruz's popularity has waned.
Cruz's naked opportunism, in relying on the GOPe to help destroy Donald Trump, flies in the face of all of his supposed anti-Establishment leanings.
Ted Cruz chose the wrong year to "play it safe". He should have battled Donald Trump fairly, in Revolutionary territory, to be the anti-Establishment standard bearer, but instead he has joined the Establishment to curry favor with them and get the benefit of the delegate thefts which had originally been slated for the likes of an insider Jeb Bush.
But after Jeb Bush was squashed like an insect by Donald Trump, the GOPe had to find someone else to sabotage the nomination. And that's exactly what the effort has been for months now: sabotage. So they settled on Ted Cruz (whom they despise) as the new designated insider, since they had no other options. That is why Ted Cruz has no chance of getting the GOP nomination.
After winning Wisconsin, Ted Cruz has paradoxically tanked in both national and state polls. Why? Because he appears to be no different than the GOPe. Indeed, he has been the beneficiary of their crooked schemes, such as the overt theft of the 34 Colorado delegates. If the CO incident is not the cause of Cruz's slide in the polls, then what is, pray tell?
Ted Cruz, having lost almost the entire South, and about to lose almost the entire Northeast, is simply not a viable national candidate. He is behind Donald Trump by about 2 million votes in the popular vote count.
Any political analyst who is intellectually honest knows that bypassing Donald Trump for the GOP nomination would be absolutely suicidal for the GOP, and spell the splintering and ultimate destruction of the party.
So it appears to me that the nihilism you decry is actually coming from the GOPe itself. They have overplayed their hand extremely, adn it will be their undoing.
If the GOPe thinks they can somehow "thread the needle" and avoid splintering the party by stealing the nomination from Donald Trump, they are headed for a rude awakening.
As for Ted Cruz, who is now a distant third, trailing even John Kasich in many Northeastern states, any delusions of grandeur he might have of getting the nomination are exactly that: pure fantasy.
All of this will become apparent over the coming weeks, even to the most obtuse and naive Cruz fanboys.
