Title: WSJ: Could Donald Trump Implode? (Trying to purge GOP doubters might doom his candidacy)

excerpt:
Quote
The week that Donald Trump all but wrapped up the Republican nomination for President should have been a time of reaching out to adversaries and trying to repair his party’s breach. Instead the New Yorker has launched what appears to be an attempt to purge anyone who won’t immediately sign onto what he calls “the Trump train.”

Mr. Trump’s threats against GOP doubters escalated over the weekend, especially against House Speaker Paul Ryan for saying on Thursday he wasn’t yet ready to endorse the businessman. The two men are set to meet in Washington on Thursday. But in the meantime Mr. Trump is resorting to political threats to force Mr. Ryan to bend to his will.

On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Mr. Trump suggested he might try to strip the Speaker of his role as chairman of the GOP convention in Cleveland in July unless Mr. Ryan endorses him. “I will give you a very solid answer, if that happens, about one minute after that happens, OK?” Mr. Trump said. “But there’s no reason to give it right now, but I’ll be very quick with the answer.”

Here in New York, Republicans who do good outreach end up on the Conservative party ticket AS WELL AS the Republican party ticket.

Trump getting on the Conservative Party ticket here would do a lot to earn my vote.

May just vote for the Conservative Party candidate here, whoever that ends up being....

The Mike Long Party will probably cave for Trump, sadly. As much as it pains me to say it, unless a major third-party candidate gains traction, he's going to cross-endorse like usual.

I remember Obama supporters in '08 and '12 telling me all about how government was going to be their savior and make their life better..... much like you Trump supporters do.

LOL!  Trump didn't win against "nobody".  Cruz and Kasich were both on the ballot and those votes were counted, especially early voting.

And I'm sure you're aware that Cruz was hopeful all day that he'd win in Nebraska so he could resurrect his failed campaign from the ashes of defeat.

So, nice try ..... but again, not quite good enough.  ^-^

Trump sez those two are nobodies and losers. Why would that many people vote for them and not the "Good Brain" of Donny?

BTW, Cruz was not hoping for a win in NE. If you would bother hearing the interview, Beck was the one wanting the resurrection, not Cruz.

The projections of a Trump supporter. They've already conceded that supporting Trump is a desperate ploy based on 'existential' circumstances. As a result, any semblance of conservatism is thrown by the wayside.
