Too good to check: Trump ready to invest $20 million to end Cruz’s and Kasich’s careers

[sneakypete]

The embarrassment of tRump's defeat in November,, and the duping of almost the entire GOP will have incredible consequences.

I'll go out on a limb, and say Trump's name will be near verboten at 2020 convention.

@catfish1957  @sinkspur

Thats ok. The Orange One's ego is safe because EVERYBODY at the Dim convention and in the media will be talking and writing about him non-stop.

Hell,he may take some of the bribe money he gets for dropping out and buy his own media outlet so he can be mentioned on the front page every day.

[sneakypete]

No, he was NOMINATED as the GOP 2016 Candidate.  He has absolutely zero power.

@beandog

He has the power to be the alleged Republican nominee for President of the US.

And you and the candidate you supported?

[sneakypete]

I wonder if Jim Robinson will be zotting the anti-Cruz Freepers?

@Henry Noel

If history is any indication,the check has already cleared,and he is already zotting any anti-Trump posters.

If Jim Bob is anything,it is a suckup to power.

[sneakypete]

When do you propose that he's actually going to start campaigning against the Hildabeast instead of trying to defeat/smear Senator Cruz?

@mrpotatohead

On the 31st of February,2099.

Or when the first payment or signed contract doesn't show up. Whichever happens first.

[sneakypete]

You just described the leadership of the PRC.

I want a country who recognizes the primacy of the sovereign individual who's immutable rights & liberties descend from God Almighty only.

Thats how far apart we are ideologically.

@skeeter

Leave the required approval of the mythical creature out of it,and you have a BIG "Bingo!". If you ain't free,nothing you have is yours.  Not even your family.

[sneakypete]

No worries.  He's not going to win in November.  He'd be lucky to land 150 EVs on Election Day.

@ScottinVA

That's assuming he won't drop out in Sept or Oct.

And you and the candidate you supported?

The candidate I supported is a US Senator.  He has actually been elected something.  I'm not sure what power you think an alleged Republican nominee for President has.

Somebody needs to remind Trump and his pets that Donald isn't the boss of squat even if he's elected president. He works for us.

I thought we would be done with this kind of blinding stupidity when Obama left office.

That may be true for normal presidents.  Since tRump will be the King of all these Orange I guess he will have power over all things orange.  I sure wouldn't want to be the Great Pumpkin if the Donald wins.

Unfortunately, if he drops out he might get MORE. lol

[HonestJohn]

I don't think it is possible to "walk back" to conservatism from where they are now.

When Jim goes... it'll probably be merged with Stormfront.

[geronl]

When Jim goes... it'll probably be merged with Stormfront.

At this point, it would be hard to tell

It isn't?

Its the great Trumpkin!!!!

[beandog]

That is good, true and funny, all at the same time.  I bow to you. ^-^

[Idiot]

Excellent!  Love it!   

[JustPassinThru]

He's never held an elective office.

The very epitome of an "Outsider".     

His fortune and his whole business, revolved around being an "interface" between legitimate developers and Tammany Hall grifters and pols on the take.

In Chicago they're called "bagmen" and they're typically disposable and poorly paid.

I guess if you can get a colorful loud kid with family connections to do this, and put a veneer of respectability around it...you become NeYawk's version of a "developer."

In any event, his WHOLE LIFE has been spent petitioning pols, putting deposits in the Favor Bank, pulling them out when needed, giving huge amounts on demand to Democrat pols, and having connections.

THE quintessential INSIDER.

You've been saying that he's going to drop out for some time now.  So with that in mind, what happens if he drops out?  Does Pence get the nod for President or does it go to Cruz because he had the second most delegates?  Does the RNC decide (God forbid)? 

The upcoming best cast scenario going into the General Election; Hillary has to drop out for health reasons and Trump drops out for personal reasons.

I'm guessing the RNC has already chosen Pence. He'll still lose due to the feeling of being manipulated.

@libertybele

Chaos is what happens. I suspect the alleged Republicans will have to hold a mini-convention to appoint another presidential candidate because there just won't be enough time for anyone to campaign for votes.

Depends on when.  And State rules are different in each state.

When you vote, you vote for PLEDGED ELECTORS.  If at the last minute, the candidate dies, drops out, is jailed, flees under an arrest warrant, or some such...the Electors still are appointed.  I believe they would still be obligated to vote in the Electoral College, their pledges; and if the candidate cannot accept, the VP would be there elected with one-less EC vote than the President.  Which would give us Pence.

Which would be the best way out of this nightmare.

If Little Lord Donnie drops out NOW...the party Insiders would have to meet to nominate another candidate.  Guess who it might be...it won't be Pence or Cruz.  Or anyone palatable to mere mortals.

Nope..almost certainly, Cipher Shrub.  The JEBster; the Idiot Scion.
