I’m afraid that ship has sailed. At most we can try to preserve one house of Congress as a bulwark against Hillary, but too many people on both sides will sit out or go 3rd party if the “wrong” candidate is nominated for a Republican nominee to win the White House this year. A lot of Trump supporters have said their goal was to tear down the GOP; well, I think they succeeded, at least for this year.

The ball is in the court of the gope and the Cruz campaign now.

They either unify behind trump or elect the beast.

Their choice. It’s also the choice of all Cruz supporters everywhere.

It’s a time for choosing.

Actually, due to Trump wanting to improve our trade deals, many Sanders supporters are saying they will go for Trump over the witch Hillary.

We might be in good shape.

It's not that we want to tear down the GOP party or the RNC, it's Reince Preibus that needs to go...they thought Michael Stelle was bad, at least he wasn't trying to get Hillary elected, and that is what the goal of the GOP and RNC party wants to do right now as it stands, and we have to have someone who is strong, that knows things about Hillary that can bring her down, and who better to do that than Trump....

Cruz can't do it, he's is beholden to Super packs, special interest groups and others, we need someone who isn't a ‘politician’ or ‘owned’...

The sake of our Nation is our goal, and if we had to rid people out of our government to save America, then I say do it...

You don't think that's needed?

Tearing down the GOP is fine.

What's not fine is destroying the GOP, which is what will happen at a contested convention where the obvious frontrunner is thwarted.

And don't forget that there wouildn't have even been the possibility of a contested convention were it not for the orchestrated, relentless character assassination campaign conducted by the GOPe against their own frontrunner.

GOP voters, and the American People in general, are not going to forget what the Establishment tried to do, and they know that's the only reason Donald Trump didn't wrap this up a long time ago.

That is why a contested convention would, literally, destroy the party.

Personally, I'd rather clean house and rebuild the party from within.

At this point, there's one man, and one man only, who can ensure the destruction of the GOP. And that man is Ted Cruz.

As I said, we're now going to see what Ted Cruz's character really is, and I'm not too hopeful, given us unprincipled, Machiavellian tactics thus far...

Vote Trump

“A lot of Trump supporters have said their goal was to tear down the GOP; well, I think they succeeded, at least for this year.”:

Trump losing wouldn’t tear down the party; after all, the GOP has lost two times in a row already. A Trump win on the other hand would reform the GOP into a party of the people instead of a party of the rich oligarch and plutocrat string-pullers. What WOULD tear down the party is for the convention to appoint someone as nominee who has fewer popular votes and fewer delegates going into the convention than the front runner.
