Yes, I know that was Levin - but you said earlier you’ll go Constitution Party unless Cruz is the nominee, right?
I’d like to know how you can substitute Donald Trumps name in the above paragraph and passively or affirmatively put that man in the Oval Office?
As I’ve said before, I believe 4-8 years of Trump hurts America more than 4-8 years of Clinton. That is why I would cast a vote for someone else.

Is everybody trying to be a true conservative or constitutionalist? If that were true, how do you explain Trump’s success in the GOP even though he holds significant non-conservative positions? (trade, healthcare, entitlement programs…etc.)
I’m not trying to be a purist. I want to stop Trump because I want the GOP to bring a candidate to the table that I can mostly agree with. I could not vote for someone who refuses to take policy seriously, flip flop on key issues, lie, lie about lying, make childish remarks when challenged, threaten everybody who doesn’t agree with him, refuse to acknowledge basic facts, and tell people he will do things that HE KNOWS he won’t be able to do. Smh pointed it out much better than I could, the guy and his supporters are stupid, and I will not vote for for stupid in the White house.
It is not ‘Wah my candidate isn’t nominated’. It is ‘wow, is that really who represents the alternative to Hillary?’

Yes and yes.
“Conservatives” rage about how Obama the autocrat has shredded the Constitution and how dangerous he has become as a lawless authoritarian…
…but are totally prepared to vote for someone who is a worse lawless authoritarian. Because Hillary.
Hilary’s corrupt, but she is a boring conventional liberal. She’s the opposite of revolutionary. She isn’t dangerous - she’s dull. Boring conventional liberals don’t disrupt much and the country could survive her tenure without near the damage that would be caused by an unpredictable, unskilled, unhinged Trump.
Perhaps if our sorry Congress were fulfilling their role as both legislators AND as a check/balance against the other two branches, we wouldn’t have such a fear that 1-6 idiots could totally destroy our society.
I will lay a huge amount of the blame on the RINO wolves in GOP clothing that have locked arms with the Dems to keep themselves and their financial donors in power and wealth.
This is the reason I think Trump has resonated with so many voters, even as he sounds like an idiotic windbag.

Bingo.
(Twenty characters bitchass.)
This describes Donald Trump very well.
Agreed. If by some miracle Trump won the election, 2018 will be a bloodbath in house and senate elections. Likewise in 2020, and we’ll clear the path for another liberal president. Hillary as president gives us a much better chance to retain the house and senate for the next 4 years. And I’m not convinced Trump is going to name a better USSC nominee than Hillary either. I wholly fail to see how he is the lesser of the two evils.
If Trump wins the nomination, the most important thing for Republicans is to NOT let him get the White House, but to make sure we retain the legislative branch.

I completely agree with you.
Hugh Hewitt: “I only know two guys who have argued nine times before the United States Supreme Court, and one of them is the chief justice now. So Ted Cruz is definitely not your ordinary candidate…”
(posted this in the prediction thread as well) Bill O’ Reilly: “Ted Cruz will offer John Kasich the vice president slot before the Republican convention begins. It’s a delegate and Ohio play.”
Guess things change.
Yep, Trump is just that good LOL.
I hate to judge the book(s) by it’s cover aka judge the person by his hair, but has anyone looked at the hairdos of Trump, Roger Stone, and now this Manafort guy? WTFFFFFFFF!!!
(some shady stuff about this Manafort guy as well, but he’s a lobbyist so I guess he was just doing his job)
Pretty much all of this.
Says the absolute master of condescending, copy and paste bullshit.
You lecture like you have a pair, but I’m guessing you are fetching coffee for somebody, somebody who MIGHT have a bit of desk POWA…lol…with your B.S. in International Studies from The University of Phoenix.
Don’t think that you can lecture people because you figured out Wiki and Google.
Actually come to think of it, your posting style is very similar to a Headhunter creata-troll named Nominal Prospect. So I’m guessing you might be one of his creations as well.

Rarely will I find reason to compliment Trump or his team, but this is really smart and well done:

Sounds like a supposed tough guy gone whiney crybaby over Colorado, to me.

His complaining act is wearing thin. But when I think about his typical supporter he’s probably playing this to his advantage.
Well done? Which part?
The part where Donald can’t figure out the difference between a primary, caucus, and convention? Or the difference between a preference poll and an election? He continues to pander to the lowest common denominator with grand illusions of democracy. Interestingly enough, the Colorado method is actually much more similar to the method of electing a president as defined in the 12th ammendment than any of the popular vote states.
Donald, if you’re not interested in “defending a system that for decades has served the interest of political parties at the expense of the people,” then why are you using the party to further your own self-interests?
“Let us take inspiration from patriotic Colorado citizens who have banded together in protest”
Like the 3000 or so harassing Colorado GOP Chairman Steve House?
It’s time for Republicans to band together. For all the talk from the Trump base about needing to pay taxes, or own land, or pass a test to vote, it’s amazing that none seem to realize that none of that is necessary when you follow the founders’ (and parties’) intentions of NOT having direct elections, except for your representative. The GOP has no obligation to nominate the highest vote getter. The intent of the GOP is to nominate the best candidate with a chance to win that upholds the principles of the party. Trump meets neither criterion.
Make America Great Again… it’s just more Hope and Change.

There’s no doubt he has been, but this op-ed takes what happened in CO and uses it to bludgeon Cruz as a creature of the “establishment”. And it lays down a marker heading toward a contested convention that Trump is the outsider the voters crave and Cruz is an insider and is nothing more than a sheep in wolf’s clothing doing the bidding of the donor class.
