They need to dump someone else or he will walk away with it. Which is fine by me he s by far the easiest to bring down in the general.

I guess they are trying for brokered/contested convention. But that will require Trump not getting the total delegates needed to clinch from votes. If he gets the votes I think they are stuck with him. It remains to be seen if they can actually stop him from getting the votes. No doubt they are going to give it their best shot.

He's got to maintain the fiction that "I coulda won but decided that there were better things to do than [fill in the blank]"

Options for the blank.

...put my family through all this crap.
...put up with all the intrusion into my financial privacy.
...put up with the crap from the media.
...be president.


My bet - somewhere he makes a "deal" and ends up with preferential partner treatment from Kochs and/or other big R donors.

He's always been for sale and he will be bought before Cleveland. Right now he's still in the advertising stage but at some point, the deal will be made.

Making it even easier for Hillary to take the whitehouse.

At this point, it's patently clear that they don't want to legislate. They'd rather dump it all on Hillary and boo hoo 247.

being a Texan, he is the worst of the worst. When I am shopping I look around and say to myself, how can that MFer be so stupid to vote for Cruz. There are other republicans I can accept but he isn't one of them.
