Dont expect to see Donald Trump give a humble concession speech if he loses the Republican presidential nomination. During a Sunday rally in Maryland, the Republican presidential frontrunner mocked candidates who praise their opponents during concession speeches, saying that if he loses the contest, Americans will probably not hear much from him again. They fight like hell for six months, and theyre saying horrible things, the worst things you can imagine, Trump said. And then one of them loses, one of them wins. And the one who loses says, I just want to congratulate my opponent. He is a brilliant man, hell be a great governor or president or whatever. He continued: Im not sure youre ever going to see me there. I dont think Im going to lose, but if I do, I dont think youre ever going to see me again, folks. I think Ill go to Turnberry and play golf or something. Trumps mockery wasnt relegated just to the electoral losers. He also said Sunday that the winners were too modest. Half the times [the winners] put them in the administration thats how they get rid of them, Trump said of the losing candidates. This line of thought has not stopped Trump from graciously accepting endorsements from other candidates who have dropped out of the presidential race. Trump frequently touts his support from Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. During a news conference in February announcing Christies endorsement, Trump lauded Christies tenure as a governor and his barbs during the Republican presidential debates. Generally speaking, Im not big on endorsements, Trump said, adding, This was an endorsement that really meant a lot.

ROFLMAO.
With Rafael Cruz, and John Kasich joining forces to defeat Trump or meet him at a contested convention, this shows more than ever before, that these two contestants, are not interested in a Republican, first and foremost becoming President, and for the democrat to lose. They are not interested in the successful advancements of a congress and senate with Republican advantage doing something positive for America, picking a conservative 9th Supreme Court Judge, abolishing the commandments made by Obama, dismantling Obamacare, and building our military.
These men are INSTEAD hell bent on destroying the ONLY chance a republican has in this election to beat Hildabeast.
Meanwhile, Trump has said, that if he loses, you will not hear from him again. And I believe him. Why would he? He does not need the money, he has the expertise that nobody else has to uniquely change our country from being run by politicians to be pragmatically changed to a business like administration. If you dont want him, dont look for him to offer again.
Wake up America, the opponents of Trump are showing their true colors. They need to be admonished by the people in any way possible.
You have to keep your eye on the prize.
Oh that’s it. I’m not voting for him now. This is series.
If you look at the broad picture, this is not a bit funny.
...On the campaign trail again.
Other than that he’ll be everywhere and highly in demand.
Yeah the GOP wants to destroy the only real chance of winning the presidency that we’ve had in years. If we lose this one the GOP is lost forever.
If Trump loses, it will be a generation before someone like him is willing to run again.
Whatever happens, Trump will forever be in our hearts.
If Trump loses, it will be a generation before someone like him is willing to run again.
The uniparty will have secured their victory for decades.
Yep I’ll go Indy and screw the Gope and the elephant they rode in on!
Sounds good to me!
But if he is nominated, I’ll have to close my eyes, hold my nose and vote for him. Hillary (and Bernie) scare me more than Trump.
For the first time in my adult life time, I’m proud of my country. Michelle Obama
For the first time in my adult life time, I’m proud of my party. Donald Trump
I don’t blame Mr. Trump for feeling the way he does. The way he has been treated by the media, the establishment Republicans, the pundits, etc., is just terrible. However, I hope he remembers it is not the people who feel this way. We are grateful to him for his efforts, for exposing the lies and the deceit, for forcing the “establishment” to talk about important issues and take a stand — something they would far rather not do.
We are ruled over the very worst of people on both sides of the aisle, and perhaps it is just not possible to remove them. We are living under a dictatorship, we just have the illusion that we have choices. Mr. Trump has exposed this fact, and for that we ought to be grateful. It is better to know the truth. Now what do we do about it?
Amen.
The Cruz/Kasich alliance is a desperate move...aimed at one thing only...and all out effort to somehow stop Trump from getting the number he needs to win the nomination.
...sadly, it is coming precisely at the time when we need Cruz to do what is right for the country...and that is burying the war hatchet and ultimately supporting Trump.
Look, I proudly campaigned for, donated to, and voted for Cruz in Idaho.
But the facts on the ground now are what they are, and there is no denying them.
Trump is headed to the nomination and will arrive at the convention with either more delegates than he needs to win, or he will be very, very close. At this stage, I believe he is going to have more than the 1,237.
At this stage there is only one strategy that the GOP can take to win...and I believe if they do it, then we would win in November.
I am hoping that after the Indiana primary on the 3rd, that Cruz does this. I am hoping therefore that he loses that Primary in such a way to make this clear and that he then will do what is best for our nation. I may be disappointed, but that is my hope nonetheless.
The true goal is to defeat Hillary in November and prevent a 3rd Obama term...which would be an abject disaster for all of America.
So, Cruz simply MUST ultimately support Donald Trump and he must do it for the good of the country. He, and Kasich, and Rubio and all of the others....including all of us, are going to have to get together and beat Hillary.
I believe if Cruz sincerely buried the war hatchet and characterized the stakes in these terms...and if the GOP united behind that idea, that we would win in November.
Those may not be the facts I had hoped for...but they are the facts on the ground.
As to Trump...I penned this some time ago, and believe it holds true now too:
The Trump Phenomenon
http://www.jeffhead.com/Trump-Phenom.htm
Cruz supporters (like me) simply must set emotion, pride and hurt feelings aside for the good of the nation at this point. It is that simple.
I also recently wrote a letter to Ted Cruz encouraging him to take this path:

No matter how you look at it, it is so far from funny that nothing could be further away.
Really black or white, this election. After decades, we have a chance to ditch the Uniparty and its globalist destructive agenda. And they’re fighting Trump and his supporters with everything they’ve got to stop him (and us).
If Trump loses, it will be a generation before someone like him is willing to run again.
...
It’s already been 36 years since Reagan won in 1980.
If the steal the election from Trump (the only way he’ll lose), we won’t have a country much longer. North American Union and millions upon millions of central Americans and mozlems will outnumber actual Americans in a short time.
If Trump loses, it will be a generation before someone like him is willing to run again.

This nation won’t exist if we continue the path for another generation. It will be more like a mix if Somalia, Pakistan, and Mexico.
