Donald Trump has brought out the largest crowds in the history of primaries. He has won the most victories, the most delegates, the most votes. He is poised to sweep three of the five largest states in the nation – New York, Pennsylvania and California.
If he does, and the nomination is taken from him, the Republican Party will be seen by the American people as a glorified Chinese tong.
Last week, Ted Cruz swept 34 delegates at the Colorado party convention. Attendees were not allowed to vote on whom they wanted as the party’s nominee.
This weekend, Cruz shut out Trump in Wyoming the same way.
What does this tell us? Cruz has a better “ground game.” His operatives work the system better. Ted Cruz is the king of small ball.

I'm well aware of Trump's flaws, and as I've said before, I'm far more enthusiastic about the political instincts of Trump supporters than I am about Trump himself. He's a flawed messenger of important messages on immigration, trade, and foreign policy.
Having said that, assuming you're a Cruz supporter, why does Trump's association with Roger Stone bother you so much more than Cruz's association with the sleaze Neil Bush? Nothing says GOP establishment more loudly than having a Bush manage your campaign.
Either way it does not look good. Even a Hail Mary of bringing on Cruz as VP does not look like it will stop the welfarian hordes from winning in November.
No wall.
No deportations.
Awash in head chopping hordes immediately eligible for welfare...(refugees).
The Supreme Court gone for decades.
Loss of the Senate.
10 seconds after we lose the election...the mantra of “next time will have to get a conservative to run” will flame out of the fingers of Donny the Democrat Donors’ supporters faster than the speed of light.
Some never learn.
But...but....but...we were gonna get A WALL! A WAAAALLLLL!
Jedi.
I’m with you there. A clear choice between liberal/socialist and conservative parties would be great.
What do you get if you vote Republican? Just more crony capitalism or liberalism creeping in, just at a slower rate? The Republicans just don’t seem to me, to be a true opposition party.
If the GOP steal the nomination from Trump and he’s one fairly, I will be a Kamikazi voter as well. I will vote against any Republican incumbent in primaries and then for anyone else in the general elections.
If the GOP does not listen to it’s voters then the GOP has killed representational democracy and it needs to die as a party.
In that case, they would have a choice to make, and we would see their true colors.
The GOP establishment would be quite happy with Hillary as President. They could go on playing the part of an impotent pseudo-opposition in Congress while continuing to milk conservative donors, just as they have been doing the past 7 years with Obama.
I can hardly wait for ElRumpster Show today when he passes his noxious gas about the massive win in NY and the Cruz humiliation.
Buchanan absolutely NAILS the essence of this fiasco, and destroys Cruzian gobbledygook about “the rules”.
But Cruz can’t win. He’s toxic in the general election. Trump has a shot, it’s a remote shot, sure, but at least it’s a shot.
So far from being “suicide,” this is the GOP establishment’s strategy for self-preservation: better to lose this election to another Democrat than risk having the party taken over by the grassroots.
.................................................................
And what does the party do for financial support in order to continue? Already, some of its biggest donors are backing away and millions of little people are declaring themselves independents because of the corruption within the party. The “little people” can and WILL destroy the Republican Party and start a new one. We ae tired of the king makers!
I disagree. Trump, if he adopts the following strategy, can take over the party, with thundering grass roots support, and revive its future. (That does not mean that he should retain all the present functionaries, of course.)

For years now, the GOPe refused to play the traditional role and joined the progressive opposition.
The were totally helpless or unwilling to oppose the socialist wave; they enabled the national mess. And they denied their role.
They just didn't "get" it. They doubled down.
Their choice, their political funeral.
I WILL help them.
I will vote for Sanders in the primaries, and write in Trump if necessary in the General.
I will do the job of my convictions.
Polls? Ignored.
Talking heads? ignored
MSM hysterical distortions? Ignored.
GOPe p****s? Ignored
I will just enjoy the next few months and won't even acknowledge the GOPe funeral.
The Tea Party lives as strong as ever. I just hope a new militant no-holds barred truly conservative party emerges from the mess.
The GOPee is controlled by the elites and the uniparty. It doesn’t matter who is in the rainbow house. It’s all just a show. The only thing that matters is who counts the votes and how they are manipulated, that’s why they want everything done electronically. they have to allow the pendulum to swing from the liberal to the conservative side and that’s what they are doing. I don’t waste my time voting or following the bs elections. The media have been trained and conditioned to be their lapdogs. There is very little if any independent thinking. They are all given the talking points for the day and they know that they have to follow the script.
If they are not worried it is because they think they can keep the house and therefore force Hillary and the senate to continue to do deals and dole out pork for their benefactors. But I predict they will be a shadow party with no power at all and find themselves totally cut off from the public feeding trough. The frat boys on the right deserve it.

Thats really all the Gop has ever been. The washington Generals playing the globetrotters. All a show.
Trump would do far better in the general election than Cruz. He's getting crossover votes from blue collar Democrats and independents that Cruz would be very unlikely to get. So yes, at least Trump has a shot at beating the Shrew. In contrast, Cruz would just be a designated sacrificial GOP version of Walter Mondale, creating the illusion of an election prior to the Shrew's coronation by Uniparty.
It has certainly been that way since at least the late 80’s.
The Republican party and their lackeys in the media will cease to exist as we’ve known it regardless of what happens from here on in.
They’ve been exposed. Actually, they exposed themselves by their incessant vitriol, lies, and shameless activism in general.
We the People have had a belly full.
If the GOP party is so politically compromised that the nomination for president of a man who is culturally American will kill it, then it deserves to die.
The GOP, under its current leadership, has been exposed as a fame front organization even worse than the Democrat Party.
