Rand Paul would have done that. Rubio would have done that. Cruz, to an extent, would have done it. Trump will scar the GOP for a long time to come.
Do you honestly believe that Trump has damaged the GOP more than the GOP has damaged itself over the last decade?
Maybe I'm just pissed off right now. But there is little chance that I change my tune and support trump. I just don't trust him Maybe he will surprise me with his VP pick. He needs to pick a conservative from a western state IMO. I'd think about it if he picks someone like Susana Martinez from NM,
You keep saying "they" like the GOP Establishment is the one picking Trump.....but it's been the common people of this country and your fellow Republicans that have overwhelmingly chose Trump as the GOP nominee This is true across the country in all different states.....and if you really think Cruz would stand a chance in a general election I don't know what to tell you. Trump has pulled in tons of independents and even some "Reagan Democrats" to the Republican Party....People that never cared about politics until now
Funny but I keep telling the dumbshits who are Hillary supporters to fuck off because of their ignorance we're gonna be stuck with president Trump
So it's not the fault of idiots who voted for Trump (Or the Republican party for being a shit show in general), it's Hillary supporters who couldn't vote in Republican primaries fault?
I'm of two minds on Trump's chances. The first is the obvious, which is that there aren't enough truly dumb people in America to elect him. The second is that he might break through the GOP glass ceiling in the big states where they usually lose because they can't suppress the non-white vote effectively. Even Ohio's long lines to vote haven't been enough to win the state for the GOP in the last two Presidential cycles. Same for Pennsylvania's and similar attempts to deny non-white voters using ID requirements that are often hard for people to meet in the timeframe after the legislation. Pennsylvania could not prove that a single fraudulent vote had been cast in one of their elections in the case that overturned the law, whereas opponents found hundreds of plaintiffs that could easily prove that their path to voting had been impeded.
Trump could be a game changer. I think he's going to get a lot of votes from people who wouldn't have bothered to go to the polls otherwise. He's going to get a lot of votes as a result of barely rational Hillary hatred. He's going to get a lot of Republican uber alles votes. He picks himself some conservative Latin American with a real track record in governance as a running mate and he could siphon off a lot of votes from Hillary.
The thing that is likely to do him in at some point is his tendency to open his mouth without thinking too hard about what he's likely to say. I think he's capped in some places where a successful GOP candidate is not normally capped, among Women, Jews and Hispanics as the most obvious groups, and that it will be very hard for him to recover from missteps.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to suspend his run to be the GOP presidential nominee, a senior campaign advisor told NBC News on Wednesday. He had previously cancelled a planned event in order to make a Wednesday night statement in Ohio. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/04/john-kasich-campaign-latest-news.html
