Wonder who they plan to replace him with? :2wave:
<Republicans are coming close to the number of votes that they need to dump Donald Trump at their convention in Cleveland. >
<Reid Epstein of The Wall Street Journal reported:>
<The anti-Trump camp needs the backing of 28, or one-quarter, of the 112 Convention Rules Committee members, in order to place the issue before the full convention. A Wall Street Journal survey suggests it could be close. >
,Though a majority of the convention delegates are bound to support Mr. Trump, Mr. Evans’s count shows just about 890 delegates are personally loyal to the New Yorker. Another 680 oppose Mr. Trump. That leaves 900 delegates who are presumed to be “in play,” he said. The stop-Trump forces would have to take nearly two-thirds of them to block his nomination>

If they pull that **** they only guarantee their defeat in the electio0n.
If they pull that **** they only guarantee their defeat in the election.
Not what I think.Thinking 'they' are damned if they do and damned if they don't...
No it is not.If they nominate Trump their defeat is guaranteed.
If they pull that **** they only guarantee their defeat in the election.
I don't know.If they nominate Trump their defeat is guaranteed. They may be vocal but there's just not enough simpletons in the US to elect that trash-TV scam artist to the White House.
What I find incredible is that the GOP would squander the opportunity of a generation. Hillary Clinton? There's only one way she wins this election- Donald Trump.
Did you thing that is some kind of refutation of what I said?Good.
Not what I think.
He has the required number for the nomination. It should be his by all rights.
If the GOP and conservatives do not support him they shoot their selves in the head, as the SCt is of issue this election. Get behind him and they can win.
If they don't allow him to become the nominee, most of those he brought to this election will feel shafted and will be walking away from voting for the party. That twill be a loss for the GOP. Their only logical choice is to get behind Trump and his supporters to win, that is, if they really care about their values.

I assure you, it isn't.

No. Your argument is weak as that would be going against the will of the voters.There is no "right" to support. The system is ongoing, and the GOP owes Trump little. If they should go this route(which is admittedly not likely), you could just as easily make the argument that the Republican Party has a right to a real republican candidate. You need a better argument, yours is weak as ****.

No it isn't.its pretty much guaranteed with trump heading the ticket as it is.
Which would be a major L for western civilization as a whole.
No. Your argument is weak as that would be going against the will of the voters.
Here is the thing that folks do not seem to think about.
It was the anti-establishment vote that drove the primaries. The majority were for Trump while the other anti-establishment votes were for Cruz.
Polling showed that Cruz supporters, supported Trump as their second choice.
You alienate Trump, they lose the anti-establishment vote, as they will not be voting for an establishment candidate.
The Republican Party does not have to follow the will of the voters. You could argue they should, but they are not under obligation.
And the thing you do not seem to think about: many of those who voted for Trump are not republicans, and you can make a good argument Trump himself is not a republican. The Republican Party has every right, possibly even an obligation, to do what is best for the party over what is best for Trump.
Right. Coincidence that that would mean Trump supporters staying home on election day, and your candidate (Hillary) getting elected?
Bwhaaa.
Are you not paying attention?The Republican Party does not have to follow the will of the voters. You could argue they should, but they are not under obligation.
Hilarious.And the thing you do not seem to think about: many of those who voted for Trump are not republicans, and you can make a good argument Trump himself is not a republican.
iLOLThe Republican Party has every right, possibly even an obligation, to do what is best for the party over what is best for Trump.
