Here we go… Establishment Republican and Never-Trumper Stephen Hayes from the anti-Trump Weekly Standard was having a difficult time Tuesday night after Donald Trump won all five east coast primaries by huge margins.

Steve says GOP elites will look for a third party candidate if Cruz cannot defeat Trump in Indiana next week

she is the candidate of the Uniparty... Trump is something else. Exactly what else I’m still not sure but I hope for the best. He really couldn’t be worse so nothing to lose by giving him a try, right?

The establishment is steepening their own slope. If they continue on this path they will soon find themselves staffing a big store with no customers. When that happens ill see them at their going out of business sale.

Hayes is one of the main reasons I dumped Fox News.

Doesn’t matter. The only purpose would be to throw the election to Clinton anyway. If this is true, we all should coalesce around Trump and use him as a blunt instrument with which to bludgeon said GOP elites to death. That, or I guess we can enjoy watching President Hillary’s Supreme Court wipe away the Bill of Rights, starting with Amendment 2. The elite have run this nation into the ground and it’s time for We the People to wrest it from their filthy, avaricious paws. Maybe the Trump wrecking ball is what we need right now.

No 3rd party, wont happen.

What they will do is go vote for Hillary in droves, scum that they are.

Well Bernie's available. He's a socialist, so that should work for them. MMM, but he does have a problem in that he's semi authentic.

I wanted Cruz but it is over. Best thing Ted can do is admit defeat and throw all his delegates behind Trump. That will end the GOPe for good and in a good way.

You’re correct. She is the choice of the Uniparty. The Washington establishment doesn’t support Trump or Cruz. They’re just using Cruz to block Trump. I believe the establishment would be just fine with Kasich but he really has very little chance to win.

It wouldn’t be a smart move.

This ain’t the average Republican backing Trump.

I know a LOT of tough, blue collar guys who are going for him and they dont take kindly to being ####ed with.

This country will explode if they run a third party.

To what end?

It would be the end of the R party.

Delusional.

They don’t have a party, candidate or funding.

#Never Trumpers can run a spoiler.

Why not be honest and vote for Hillary?

I’d vote for her over their so-called third party candidate.

Neither of them can win.

If they’re in to siphon votes from Trump, they’d attract negligible support.

Jeb and Mittens have no cross-over appeal.

I have figured one area that causes confusion among people voting in these primaries. The clubs or parties are using government voting systems for voting within their club. It is like a soccer club using your towns voting machines to have elections of their officers. The corruption here is that in using the government voting systems for the internal club elections they are adding a level a legitimacy to the elections that are not really there. Hence the pronouncements from the guy in colorado about who actually will select the delegates. the voting charade means nothing in the club. I will work to make sure no government voting apparatus be used to assist in the selection of club delegates for the private corporation primary process.

Maybe they could run a masked candidate - like on wrestling. That way the GOPe could say “trust us, we know what’s best” Mystery candidate would have low negatives (remember when that was important for Yeb!). Spend tons of money on TV ads. Just avoid letting Whorealdo interview him if there are any chairs around.

Doesn’t matter...Their 3rd Party candidate won’t get any votes...While the GOPe and Congress may want to lose to Hillary the vast majority of the rank and file Republicans want to win...They/we’ll pick Trump over Hillary...
