We would not because they are not mental defectives who get into pointless twitter wars while taking a shit on a gold toilet at 3AM.

See. That's what makes you an generally ignorant person because you have no idea what "Majority" means. The word you are searching for is "Plurality". Donny never got a majority of GOP voters to select him in his life. NEVER.

Little Donny got 44% of the total vote in the GOP Primaries. That is the worst percentage since Taft in 1952 and Taft ended up being booted for Eisenhower at that convention because he was such a loser.....much like Donny.

Why can't we do that again. Maybe after Sunday... if Trump makes a fool of himself again, or I should say reveals himself to be a fool... How did they do that in 1952 ... I want to do it again. I'll even vote for Pence.

Donald Trump IS the Republican Party Candidate, and he didn't get there by MINORITY votes.

Do you really want to throw that pitch? That hanging curve ball is home run fodder.

Hell even I might be able to convince myself to do it and I really don't like Pence. Probably not in all likelihood, but I'd honestly give it very serious thought one way or the other if it ensured Trump was thrown out on his ass and his sycophants with him.

I don't like him either. He seems smarmy. Too smooth to be selling you a used car but maybe he could be touting some stock for you to buy.

But, yeah, better than Hillary.

Only one person in the world isn't.

My biggest problem with him is that he agreed to join team Trump. That shows a serious lack of judgement. Aside from that I think he's a garden variety Rino. There are far worse than him in the GOP for sure. But I doubt I could get past the Trump thing. Kidding aside, I'd seriously consider voting for him, but he really lost his cred doing that.

Not that long ago, Pence (along with DeMint) was a TEA Party darling... Always felt he had good thinking, but not enough backbone... And his sojourn as governor has proved that to be true.

He's right on the low-water mark of what I consider to be viable... I wish he'd stand for what he stands for.

But I'd probably vote for him, unlike a Bush or a Grahamnesty.

Of course not, they would be wiping the floor with Hillary

Oh irony...

The Trump supporter that thinks that 260ish votes for Trump out of 1400 union members constitutes a majority, ALSO thinks this place has things 'backwards'

Will the comedy ever end? I hope not.

that's the same source that said many times that jeb bush, marco rubio, or ted cruz would be the GOP candidate

Actually no, RCP has been pretty accurate if you look at news articles referencing their polls through the primary.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Real+Clear+Politics+2015+Republican+primary&safe=off&biw=1920&bih=940&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A10%2F1%2F2015%2Ccd_max%3A3%2F1%2F2015&tbm=nws

They even mentioned last July to watch out for Trump.

Based on their record this cycle, one wouldn't be wise to dismiss them.

Of course, not being a Trump fan, I would probably be better off to tell you to keep thinking like you are and become complacent it is in the bag.

@HAPPY2BME you demonstrate with every keystroke that you are easily the most ill informed person on this board.

majority
noun ma·jor·i·ty \mə-ˈjȯr-ə-tē, -ˈjär-\

Simple Definition of majority

: a number that is greater than half of a total

: a number of votes that is more than half of the total number

: the group or party that is the greater part of a large group

Can you show me in your brilliance where Little Donny got over 50% in the GOP Primary total? My math shows it at a miserable 44%.

did you answer my question if you had personally interviewed each and every one of the officers who voted in that election so you could publish your own version of it?

btw, once again - THE MAJORITY VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP

Another lie?

The majority of GOP primary voters did not vote for Trump.

And the general election hasn't occurred as yet, so you cannot know how many voters voted in it.

Before you start that argument with HAPPY2BWRONG, he/she/it will have to come to terms with what the standard definition of "Majority" is. That right there seem to be a high hurtle.

He can't. He has no understanding or comprehension of what a PLURALITY is.

To the simple-minded, that Trump got more than any of the other 17 candidates means he got the 'majority', even if it was less than 44% of the GOP base who actually voted in the primaries (of which how many were Democrats in open-primary states is unknown, but estimated to be a great number). I would not be surprised if the actual number of Republicans who were not Democrat crossovers, who cast a vote for Trump was less than 30%.
