If Trump wins the Republican nomination, what will those who adamantly opposed him do?

They'll fall all over themselves telling you about how the Democrats then are simply the Republicans now...

I'm sorry, but anyone clicking "Vote for Hillary" above needs to rethink their entire life up to this moment. You're on a firearms enthusiast board, specifically centered around semi automatic rifles.

That said, a vote for a write in candidate is a vote for the Democrats as well. Perot royally eff'd this country TWICE in four years. If people didn't learn then, there is no hope for them. Personally, I don't love Trump, I'd rather see Cruz get the nomination every day of the week and twice on Sunday, but I have no illusions about what this country will become should we have to endure another four years of a Clinton White House. People think Obama took the Executive Orders a bit far... Hillary will personally feed the constitution into the shredder as quickly as she can. We (the firearms community) will be her first target, and with a friendly Supreme Court, there will be almost no chance at stopping her.

I'll reluctantly vote for him. I don't think he's as horrible and extremist as people are making him out to be. He's just playing to people's pissed off attitude at political correctness and the left being only being tolerant of things nobody should be tolerant of. I'd rather any of other candidates, but it looks like it's going to be Trump.

I will hold my nose and vote for him. He's bombastic and arrogant, but I honestly don't think he will get much done if he doesn't tone it down a bit. I do think that if he is elected, any good ideas that come out of a Republican Congress will not be vetoed. It's not just the presidential election we have to worry about. The ultimate failure we have, if voters stay home ,is the real risk of losing Republican control in the Senate.

Bombastic Arrogance might be a prerequisite for anyone wanting the job, I do think they all must have an ego, most just hide it better. The Guy holding the Office now can barely keep it in check on a daily basis.
I'm hoping (and I'm at this point a Cruz guy) that if elected Trump will run America like a business, cut the unnecessary and job killing Departments and streamline the way business's are built here in America. Fixing the deficit and the way we pay taxes would be numbers 2 and 3.

And even worse, a leftist Supreme Court. That is the longer lasting, further reaching, and worst consequence of a Hillary/Sanders/Biden/Warren/etc. presidency.

Normally I would deride that choice, but...

Legislature Alabama Legislature
• Upper house Senate R-25, D-8
• Lower house House of Representatives R-72, D-33
U.S. Senators Richard Shelby (R) and Jeff Sessions (R)
U.S. House delegation 6 Republicans, 1 Democrat

Yeah, Alabama is solidly red. One guy not voting really isn't going to change that.

There are really only about a dozen states where it matter whether you vote or who you vote for.

According to Politico, those states (in 2016) are: Ohio, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Florida. If you don't live in one of those states, it doesn't matter who you vote for. Just vote for somebody you won't regret voting for in the morning.

Yep Hillary wants an "Australian style" gun buy back law which means we loose it all. Trump on the other hand won't try anything at least in his first term if at all if he's interested in 2 terms. Do I trust him ? Not entirely, but I trust Hillary at her word, and I guarandamntee she will be much worse than Obama.

I'd vote for a dog before I would cast a vote for a Progressive (Marxist) democrat. Despite the gloomy outlook of potential gun control, confiscation, buybacks, etc., I predict an active underground firearms culture in years to come. It will be Prohibition all over again. Everyone laying low with their gun arsenals intact, waiting for better political weather.

It bears repeating:

Trump could dump an old lady out of her wheelchair and dropkick a puppy over the Washington bridge on live TV and pledge allegiance to Pazuzu...

And Hillary could ship every dude in America two clean Estonian hookers with a 24 pack under one arm and a crate of copper coated .22 under the other, vow to repeal the NFA, and personally empty her bank account to send the kids of the Benghazi men to Harvard....

And I'd still vote for Trump.

I'd include NC in that must win category for the GOP and it will be close again this year. In addition, a poor national turnout could very well flip control of the Senate.

Also, I'll be the first to admit that I predicted the anti-Trump vote to be higher; I estimated closer to 20-25% either not voting or crossing the isle. This is by no means the first time that I've been wrong (thought Romney would win even on Election Day), and I made this prediction knowing full well that the survey would be underpowered and biased.

Still, a 10% non-vote within the GOP would a death sentence IF someone other than Hillary was the nominee. Because Hillary is the likely nominee, Trump stands a chance.

Trump is not my guy, but If he is the GOP nominee, he'll get my vote. Folks on the right not voting for the GOP nominee or deciding not to vote at all is exactly what the left is counting on. For me it's really about the preventing the progressive left from getting in office and further restricting our civil rights. Realpolitik.

I think Donald Trump will surprise a lot of people and turn out to be a great president. I don't see him making matters on the small things like gun control, abortion, gay rights, welfare or education. Not saying those are small things, but to him they are. I think he will take up the bigger task that most presidents wouldn't dare face. China, North Korea, Iran, OPEC, He would most likely maximize the money coming into America and not the money leaving.

All the people who say they will never vote Trump realize this, If Hillary wins there is no turning back regardless of what any politician pundit or radio host tells you. We can't rest on our morals fold our arms and say no, and wait and hope the right candidate comes along that may never happen. If Hillary wins we will no longer have a 2A thats it. I don't care about morals the damn liberals don't have any moral. It will be a lot harder to elect a conservative after Hillary than to fix any damage caused by Trump.

That depends on the damage that Trump does.

And since he's a big government authoritarian (about the only things that can be said for certain of him), the damage will be very difficult to undo: Government rarely gets smaller. Especially if he rolls back the protections of the First Amendment (something he has stated he wishes to do) and the Fourth Amendment (something he has also stated he wishes to do).

I see many posts all over the web about principled voting, or not voting. Taking a stand of not voting just because of personal beliefs, ethics or integrity. That's fine, but keep in mind that politics is a dirty, nasty process with unethical, power hungry players, who attract big money and really don't care about you, no matter who they are. That's the nature of the political arena in the 21st century.

I will continue to vote either for, or as a protest for any candidate who gives us the best chance of keeping our freedoms, even if that candidate is low life scum. It's gotten to that point in America now. If the lesser of two evils is evil, I will for for the evil one who lets me keeps the most of my Constitutional rights. I'll be happy to get down and dirty in the voting process to preserve our rights, or delay their loss.

And Hillary is better? I'm not a Trump fan but he's still better than Hillary. Think about this people don't vote she wins. The Senate gets lost, and we're looking at Chuck Schumer as majority leader, then Obama replaces Scaila on the Supreme court, Hillary said it is possible
Then what do we do? The constitution will be done. Your rights, the first the second the fourth etc. All gone. Even if you could own a gun it would be registered, Think ammo is expensive. Wait till you'll have to pay insurance for every gun you own what then? Say next time we're going to win? The republican will put up another establishment looser. And another democrat wins it goes on and on and before you know it your too old to do anything about it.

Ill just say, that from what I have heard from most of the larges offshore drilling companies (who I manufacture parts for) have said if Hillary or Sanders get in White House, they will follow Halliburton and incorporate overseas in Abu Dhabi or Hong Kong or Singapore. Since the US favors drilling operators from other countries and provides a huge tax break, it would be a huge gain for them because the 267 thousands jobs that were lost in the last 2 years would be replaced by cheaper labor overseas. The trillions of dollars that would go into our economy would otherwise go into someone else's. I don't really blame them, I mean, these CEO have to make decisions that make sense for the company as a whole and the stock holders. That means these companies would buy steel locally instead of the US. Though I understand why these companies would do that, it would be a huge crippling blow to he US. Right now there are 6 brand new steel mills being built in Mexico to provide steel for the auto and aircraft industry there. Since Boeing, Trane, Ford, CAT, Nissan, GE, Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Siemens, Hewitt Packer, LG, Kenworth, Volks Wagon and John Deere make over 60% of there products there. Steel that was purchased in America from Nucor, Chaparral Steel and US Steel is now going to be manufactured in Mexico by Gerdau which is a Brazilian steel company. This really is a Problem for the US. And this is what Donald Trump is talking about. Right now, Mexico can manufacture steel for 30 cents on the dollar, they can manufacture cars for 60 cents on the dollar. Hillary is still talking about guns and women's rights. Donald is the only candidate in decades to address these issues and want to take a stance.

People crossing their arms and stamping their feet if Trump gets the nomination are being miopic and childish. A Trump Presidency may be bad, but a Clinton presidency would be far worse.

Anyone who willingly lets the latter happen by refusing to vote for the former is insane. Anyone who knowingly takes inaction on 2 steps back and therefore allows the country to go 10 steps back is also insane.

Hopefully those of you being stubborn wake up by election day.

Then there is legislation, probably the worst thing Bush did was the Patriot Act, which can be used by the likes of Obama and Hillary to target political enemies. Idiots at the time said it would never be used against a US citizen, they were of course wrong.

But Obama gave us Obamacare which is the first time a US citizen has been required to purchase something or face a fine. Idiots all assumed it would be free or covered by existing social security or medicare/medicaid, they were of course wrong.

I agree, and you may be right, but a lot of good people's lives would be ruined in the process. Also, if the Dems win, there will be no better political weather. Elections will become unwinnable for us. The demographics will tip past the point of no return.

Ooooh, I was with you until the repeal the NFA thing. If she did that, it would be a fundamental shift in her nature. Unless of course she repealed it due to it being moot once she repealed the 2nd Amendment.

Precisely this. There is no next time if Hitlery wins. That may sound like doom and gloom, but it's true. The SCOTUS will be tipped to the Dark Side, bye bye to guns, and the Dem electorate will be shored up to the point of being invincible via every means imaginable.

All it takes is for the media to be focused on one shooting, Hitlery to pour out an Obama-esque tear (I actually don't think her evil cyborg programming supports the tear function, though) or trot out a paid actor to do so, and her SCOTUS appointee will tip the scales towards bye bye guns.
2A will be interpreted as a "collective right" ("The People" refers to government, see???) and presto, all yo stuff goes bye bye.


Drumpfvolk ought to find these people admirable, then: They are the sort of person they support to be president.

I am doing my best to bite my tongue here. Are you serious of being facetious? Do you actually think it's moronic and childish to want to stop the invasion of the United States by an enemy who has openly declared and carried out war for 1400 years and counting?


Because that would be UnAmerican (seriously - you want to live in a country like that, there's this place called Venezuela. Another called Russia if you can't stand brown people) and you would find yourself to be the next target.

Actually, no. Punishing treason is not unAmerican. Aiding, abetting, giving comfort to the enemy are all acts of treason. Hating the gov isn't treason, but assisting the enemies of the United States is, and that is what the Left does.

A Hillary win means a good chance of her bringing Dems into of control of the House and Senate as well. Add to that one already known SCOTUS nominee, and possibly two more. We can miss goodbye good sized chunks of the Bill of Rights that we won't back in that scenario. As distasteful as it is to support Trump, as much as he has no plan, no class, no conservative credentials, we absolutely must do whatever we can to hold off the leftist insurgency.

Like Trump or not, he has raised some very impressive children which does make me think he's not quite as immature as he has shown on the campaign trail.

Not sure that I'd agree. I'd take Jim Webb over Donald Trump.

You don't simply get Jim Webb. You get all the Dem back stabbers he associates with. Namely Tim Kaine and Mark Warner.

You want your guns taken away as quickly as possible? You want to have pull out your wallet and fight week after week to keep your 2A rights?

Then go ahead an surrender. Give in to the current rabid socialist Democrat regime. Sure, there may one or two ok Dems in the fray. So what? They are not going to change the thinking of the other 99%.

If you think they are bad now, wait until they own it all.

Because Trump is such a supporter of the 2A. He's backtracked on big issues recently, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he backtracks on the 2A when his nomination is almost ensured. Remember, Trump said "I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record."

It will be really...REALLY tough to do it but I would probably pull the lever for Trump.

Only because 4-8 years of Hillary will probably be much more damaging to the country as a whole.

Also, if you think about it, even the mushy moderates McCain and Romney would probably have not given us govt run healthcare or Kagen and Sotomayor types as SC nominees.

With Trump, maybe we slow the bleeding. Hillary will just be Obama's third term.

Given the choice of poison or the guillotine... I'll take my chance that we can find an antidote. Poison takes time to work.

What don't people get about this being a no win situation and they are being faced with making the best possible choice to basically bend, mold, and change the direction of the next POTUS.

Hillary has made it perfectly clear. YOU ARE HER ENEMY. SHE HATES YOU.

Trump, if nominated at worst will begin to something stupid but has proven his mind can be changed.

HILLARY HATES YOU. SHE HATES MEN. SHE WANTS REVENGE. SHE IS READY TO PUNISH SOMEONE.

But by all means, go ahead and support her..... because after all Trump is crazy.

In fact, get MilSpecMonkey to make you a nice patch that says "I Supported Hillary because Trump Is Poison". Show everyone how you helped save America for the next 8 years.

Have none of you people never had any crazy friends? Crazy and filled with hate are two different things. Hillary is a seething pot of HATE ready to explode. You can be the smartest guy in the 2A crowd and her hate is going to impact you all the same. Hell even Bernie Sanders was berating Hillary on gun control this weekend. That's pretty damn bad when an F rated socialist is berating Hillary saying here views on guns were over the top. .. and yet we are supposed to support her over Trump because he's crazy.

Hillary is a Disease and she has your mind if you would do anything to support her. There is no thing or no one that will be POTUS in 2017 that is worse than Hillary. She must be stopped by any and all means, even if that means crazy Mr. Trump as a stop gap measure.

If you are that concerned about Trump you better get on the Cruz train AND the anti-Hillary train.

No way would I vote for Hillary over Trump. Anyone else, but not her. She's everything bad about the Bush-era whitehouse, combined with the worst aspects of the current administration (one of which is her).

Bernie has the same stance on guns as Trump, historically. Both have long said they support the 2A, but would promote an AWB and universal background checks.

Hillary is a guaranteed worst-case scenario for gun owners: Australian buyback confiscation supporter, AWB supporter, gets to nominate 1-3 SCOTUS judges...she is THE endgame. The bad kind. Guaranteed.

And even if Trump may be bad historically on 2A, his rhetoric now is good. But if you can't be sure, at least there is a CHANCE he'll be good. Hillary? Guaranteed she won't be.

People refusing to vote for Trump if he gets the nomination because he might backtrack on 2A, thereby allowing Hillary's guaranteed assault on 2A, are oblivious.

A lot can happen between now and April, May, Cruz could still get the nomination, of course if they are going to push a brokered convention they could put Romney as a nominee in that case you might as well stay home because he didn't really want to be president in 2012 and I doubt he wants to now. That would be the only time I'd sit it out.
But Trump? If he gets the nomination you all better get out and vote. Otherwise you can stand on your principles while you stand in line waiting to register your guns. Molon Labe sticker and all

I agree totally.

Many will "stand on their principles" and watch what is left of their rights go away. That always amazes me.

"...but...but...Trump is not really a conservative, blah blah"

Yeah, well Hillary IS a 100% statist/leftists and you can bet on her trying to take your guns, raising your taxes and appointing more leftists to the Supreme Court.

"...but, but, Trump was pro choice on abortion, blah, blah"

Umm...so is Hillary! So legal abortion goes nowhere AND you probably lose more rights and pack the SC with more leftists....great huh?

With Trump and a GOP majority in Congress, we stand a ghost of a chance of making things better.

With Hillary and the GOP Congress...more of the same.

I will feel real guilty about pulling the handle if / when that happens, but not as bad stopping the left.

You're a fool if you believe that Drumpf will do what you want him to about it.

He's a bald-faced liar and New York progressive, plain and simple. The only difference between him and Hillary is that Hillary tries not to lie.


Actually, no. Punishing treason is not unAmerican. Aiding, abetting, giving comfort to the enemy are all acts of treason. Hating the gov isn't treason, but assisting the enemies of the United States is, and that is what the Left does.

The thought of President Drumpf gives comfort to Putin, ISIS, and Rafael Correa (Ecuador's authoritarian leftist president who has done much of what Drumpf has said he wishes to do) - who are our enemies, since you've forgotten. It confuses, frightens, and angers our allies.

It seems to me that if anyone is guilty of treason, it's Drumpf and the Drumpfvolk.

Nice try, poll shows 83.69% saying they will vote for Trump (and when this poll started voting for Trump wasn't even an option), this is on a M4C some of the most conservative of conservative. When push comes to shove that numbe will go up closer to 90% of M4C members, count on it. Hillary will have a bigger problem with turn out, but worst of all for her will be the crossover vote... Specifically crossover vote in purple & blue leaning states. If a few percent of the most conservative of conservative in dark red states stay home, it's completely irrelevant.

I would have to agree with this.
Here is the thing, if you talk to Democrats you will find that many of them are disenchanted with the available choices. There are some rabidly anti Clinton Democrats out there, there are also some "Feel The Bern" folks out there who will stay home rather than vote for Hillary considering the treatment he has gotten from the Democratic Establishment.
I would guess that looking at the numbers of Democrats who actually got out there in the Primaries, plus what I mentioned above the Democrats are in a lot of trouble regardless of either of the two options they move forward with.
This is likely to be an unpredictable landslide based upon a few other factors also. The slow leak coming from the E-Mail scandal isn't helping Clinton at all, as much as I would guess the White House would like to shut this down it isn't happening. Unlike Romney vs Obama, neither Trump or Cruz is going to give her a pass on this, the dirty laundry effect on stage will shut her down in a debate. The only question now is, will She be indicted after She wins the nomination and at that point what will happen?
The Cross-Over Votes are likely to go to Trump as both Democrats and Republicans are finding a unique disgust with all things related to career politicians.

I could be wrong, but having spoken to a number of Democrats, many have chosen to go Independent this cycle.

Every time I think about the state of the world and our country, I can't help but hear this song in my head over and over:

Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing

Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing

Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing

Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

^Willy Wonka.

It is scary how well that silly little Willy Wonka song applies to our state of affairs right now...

I see a lot of that, it's short term thinking and that is something Conservatives have in spades, nobody is ever good enough for them. Every single issue seems to rule out one or more of the prospects and leads them to lose again and again.
The Progressives however have used the Democratic party until they overwhelmed the majority of Democrats and now own the Party and can count on most of the votes still in the shell that was left behind. They've gradually been warmed to full blown Socialism.
Why Conservatives cannot see this and use it to their own purposes is beyond me. They have a chance to remove the rotten core of the Republican Party and unite the rest and move forward for incremental change, but never seem to learn from their enemies.

Second, if you thank that Trump can pull enough democrats and independents to make up for even a 10% deficit in Republican turnout, then you are smoking crack. Notice how many REPUBLICANS on this forum say that they will hold their nose if the have to vote for Trump. His approval with democrats and independents is -70 and -27, respectively.

Agreed. The math for the RNC is really very simple and the handwriting is on the wall. A brokered convention that ends with an establishment nominee will result in a disasterous November for the GOP. They would lose the Presidency and likely flip the Senate. Trump and Cruz are the only ones that would not result in a 48+ state loss.

Rubio & Kasich are starting to piss me off, I want a 1 on 1 race between Trump & Cruz, let the voters speak & then work to unite the party. I'm starting to think Cruz would have a shot in the general, but I do believe it would be a very close race between Hillary & Cruz. My only other worry with Cruz is if he does win, can he actually get McConnell & Ryan to work with him to fix immigration? My guess is no, because those assholes need a bully to bitch slap them into doing the right thing, they need a POTUS to go on TV and make his case to the American people like Reagan would do and (I hate to say it) Obama.

Is there a single politician on the face of the planet who hasn't been compared to Hitler? Some guy proposes a tax? Hitler proposed that SAME tax at the SAME time in his administration! They propose to cut a tax? Hitler cut that SAME tax for the Germans! This guy's against immigration? Sounds like Hitler! This other guy is FOR it? Well, the way he's proposed supporting immigration is strangely similar to how Hitler did it...

Seriously, Hitler is overdone; he's not unique, all things considered. There's been tons of totalitarian leaders who have exterminated their enemies and had racist policies. Why is Hitler considered the only bad thing to have ever happened to the world?

I don't like Trump much either, but he's not Hitler, and we're not going to see a rise of a 4th Reich with Trump as the supreme leader if he's elected.

Despration, that's all it is. I think they know they've played their string out, and the public is sick and tired of their variety brand bullshit. So, what they're doing is applying Geobbels famous quote... "If you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained of only for such a time as the state can shield the people from the political,economic, and military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all its powers to repress dissent. For the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state"

I think that ANY Republican who wins the election is likely to face a close race. The electorate is divided 40% progressive leaning, 40% conservative leaning, and 20% who think that Kim Kardashian is the First Lady.

In terms of Cruz affecting change, the Presidency is a big bully pulpit. This is especially true in the first year. Keep in mind that Cruz would not have to spend any political capital sealing the border since all he needs to do is enforce existing law. That leaves spending and tax reform on the docket. I fu<king dare Ryan and McConnell to ignore a first year budget from Cruz that includes the Mac-Penny Plan and a Flat Tax - those have 75+% approval within the GOP.

And that is the result here...and firearms forums are probably one of the places least likely to be turned off by Trump's in your face style. This guy is straight-up poison.

A few things:
1) the general electorate isn't as nitpicky as M4C'ers. That's not a slag, it's a fact. We argue over Trump not being a "real" Conservative vs Cruz. Other people's decisions are more about emotion, image, and what propaganda they've ingested.
2) even M4C'ers aren't going to be as picky when election day comes and the choice is between Satan Herself and whoever her opponent is
3) what "turns off" a firearms forum member may turn on a fence-sitter.


Trump may or may not flip flop on everything he's said, including the 2A. That remains to be seen. What I can guarantee, however, is that Hildabeast will stick by what she's always said and work tirelessly to destroy the Constitution in its entirety.

I'll take my chances with Trump.

True. Even if Trump were wrong 50% of the time (and I really don't think it would be anywhere near that high), he'd still be better than Hitlery at 100% of the time.
Hillary is programmed to destroy America, and do the bidding of whoever paid her most, in this case the Saudis. Anyone who votes for her is voting for the Islamic States of America.


And don't forget about how Trump is a womanizer, while Hillary is married to the biggest womanizer, sexual abuser, scumbag And defended him !
Tells me she's a bigger womanizer than Trump!

You're a fool if you believe that Drumpf will do what you want him to about it.

He's a bald-faced liar and New York progressive, plain and simple. The only difference between him and Hillary is that Hillary tries not to lie.



The thought of President Drumpf gives comfort to Putin, ISIS, and Rafael Correa (Ecuador's authoritarian leftist president who has done much of what Drumpf has said he wishes to do) - who are our enemies, since you've forgotten. It confuses, frightens, and angers our allies.

It seems to me that if anyone is guilty of treason, it's Drumpf and the Drumpfvolk.



At this point, we might as well.

No sense limping away from this thing....

Negative.
ISIS has been having a gay old time with their Islamist brother Hussein in charge. Him and his lackeys have been doing a great job letting ISIS get away with murder(s).
Hitlery will be the same, for it's an lack of opportunity, jobs, or oppression, what difference at this point does it make, the fault of Youtube videos, etc.
With Trump, ISIS will have a harder time infiltrating its people here, and gaining converts among those born here. Gotta shut down those Jihad Propagation Centers if you ask me.

Errrm, what? How s Trump and his supporters guilty of treason?? How have they aided the enemy?
Unlike Hillary, they are for American security, rather than unlimited invasion of the mainland.


Again, this poll is not powered to be valid. However, it seems to fall out to about what I was predicting, and it is similar to statistically valid polling from 6 weeks ago - 20-25% of conservative leaning people will not vote for Trump. I consider M4C to be a cohort of conservative leaning people.

IF Trump cannot count on even 15% of the GOP vote, he is going to make Dukakis and Mondale look like winners.

As I've stated above in response to Greg Bell's post, so much wrong with assuming M4C polling carries over to other samples or the population.

Most of them did, but some of them did try to over throw and create a Communist goverment German Revolution of 1918–19 and later in 1923, many of the Communist were Jewish , this was the main reason why the Nazis won, they German people saw what the Soviets were doing to the East, mass murder, engineered famines, work camps, rape camps, death camps, etcs and came to the logical conclusion that if action was not taken the Communist hordes would destroy the west and unleash the horrors of Hell upon them.

You are not alone, I will not help a leftist.

The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."

"They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father or The Founders. Decent men who believed in a day's work for a day's pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice. Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody Hell, all those liberals and
intellectuals and smooth-talkers... and all of a sudden nobody can think of anything to say."

I'm betting that half of his supporters will not see it that way.

As we approach July, you will see a lot of movement involving the Rules Committee of the RNC since it is very possible that none of the candidates will meet the requirement of having an absolute majority of delegates in 8 states. That Rule 40 as it is called will likely have to be reset or abolished. Then comes the 2nd and 3rd round ballots where delegates are unbound by their state's primary results if nobody gets a clear majority on the 1st ballot. All of this tells me that the GOP will need truckloads of Ausol for all of the butt hurt that will happen.

I thought that you might say they that. The purpose of the 1237 rule is to prevent exactly what you want to happen - a candidate with a pleurality but no majority winning the nomination.

It's pretty obvious that the establishment is aiming for a brokered convention. We will know in 8 days if their plan has merit. If Trump takes FL and OH it very likely that Trump wins with 1237+ delegates, and very unlikely that a brokered convention can be forced. On the other hand, a brokered convention or a Cruz clear win it is very likely if Trump loses FL and OH. If Trump wins FL but loses OH there is a slim chance that Cruz could pull out a win or a brokered convention depending on how fast the establishment get behind him. I don't think they will since Trump has a record of playing ball with them before he ran for office while Cruz was content to flick buggers at McConnell for the past 6 years. The establishment hates Cruz a little more than Trump.

Without a doubt.

As far as rule 40, by my count Trump sits at 5/8, Cruz 3/8, and Rubio 1/8 (assuming PR counts here, if not, 0). I'm guessing Trump makes it to 8. It seems unlikely that anyone else will, save Cruz.

By my estimates, on March 16th, Trump will need between 45-62% of outstanding delegates (depending on FL/OH), Cruz around 80%, and Rubio 86% (and that's assuming he wins Florida). Even if Rubio and Kasich drop out on 3/16, it seems reasonably plausible if not probable that no one gets 1237.




I'm curious if those who think Trump would be getting the shaft if denied the Republican nomination with a theoretical delegate count of Trump 1100, Cruz 800, Rubio 400 heading into the convention would also be upset if someone other than Hillary Clinton was sworn in as President on January 20th after a theoretical general election 3 party race ending at Clinton 260, Trump 180, Romney 88?

In that scenario, if Cruz picked Rubio as his running mate and they pooled their 1200 total delegates, they'd be ahead of Trump's 1100. So no, that wouldn't be stealing the nomination. If Trump wins 1237 outright, and the party changes the rules or does some back room deal to take any of those delegates away, that would be stealing.

That won't fly, RNC wouldn't just doom the presidency, they'd doom the house & senate along with any future of the Republican Party. The only way to do it is if you put #1 & #2 on the same ticket as P/VP. Marco can go take a shit as far as I'm concerned, pro-immigration, neocon foreign policy, pro TPP, social conservative & only passively "pro-2a" and only when it suits him (in other words I trust him as far as I can shit on 2a issues).

My folks, and all their retiree friends down there L-O-V-E Trump.


I misread it to mean that you needed 50% of the vote, not 50% of the delegates.

Florida is winner take all. Trump will win here. I've been to two rallys so far and it is off the charts. I haven't even heard of anyone campaigning here except Rubio - and his rallys are garbage.

That won't fly, RNC wouldn't just doom the presidency, they'd doom the house & senate along with any future of the Republican Party. The only way to do it is if you put #1 & #2 on the same ticket as P/VP. Marco can go take a shit as far as I'm concerned, pro-immigration, neocon foreign policy, pro TPP, social conservative & only passively "pro-2a" and only when it suits him (in other words I trust him as far as I can shit on 2a issues). Marco is just another RINO, I'll pass.

That dimwit Lindsey Graham is running around telling people they should've kicked Trump out of the GOP, but since they didn't, they need to do whatever it takes to take the nomination away from him! Of course he's still pretending he's a "conservative" too, which is further proof he's lost his damned mind. :(

Without a doubt.

As far as rule 40, by my count Trump sits at 5/8, Cruz 3/8, and Rubio 1/8 (assuming PR counts here, if not, 0). I'm guessing Trump makes it to 8. It seems unlikely that anyone else will, save Cruz.

By my estimates, on March 16th, Trump will need between 45-62% of outstanding delegates (depending on FL/OH), Cruz around 80%, and Rubio 86% (and that's assuming he wins Florida). Even if Rubio and Kasich drop out on 3/16, it seems reasonably plausible if not probable that no one gets 1237.




I'm curious if those who think Trump would be getting the shaft if denied the Republican nomination with a theoretical delegate count of Trump 1100, Cruz 800, Rubio 400 heading into the convention would also be upset if someone other than Hillary Clinton was sworn in as President on January 20th after a theoretical general election 3 party race ending at Clinton 260, Trump 180, Romney 88?

See Euro's post below yours. A candidate must win 51% of the delegates from 8 different states to win the nomination or to be eligible for the FIRST ballot at the convention. No candidate has reached this threshold in any state, and it likely that it will not happen until the first winner take all states next week.


No one has won 50% in any state.

Interestingly, a 14 year old kid predicted that no one would be able to meet the 8 state threshold required by Rule 40 in a large field of candidates. I cannot find the article now, but I recall that he predicted a scenario where the entire primary process would be a dog and pony show since nobody would be eligible for the first ballot. The nominee would then be selected in subsequent ballots where delegates are not beholden to their state's primary results.

In effect, the Rule 40 change creates selection process determined by super delegates. He also predicted tha it would be difficult to change the rule back to something more reasonable because the Rule Committee would be so fractured as to prevent the necessary 2/3 majority. It seems that there may be some merit to his theory after all - we shall see. There are more than 20 winner take all states left, so I think that someone will make the grade.

Sensei is (somewhat) right about a small percentage of very conservative voters staying home not voting Trump, although he's way off on the percentage IMO. Cruz as VP will bring the bulk of those people to the polls in November & the crossover voters who wouldn't look at Cruz on the top of the ticket won't give too much of a shit with him as VP. So generally I think the VP pick matters little, but if it's Trump as the candidate & he picks Cruz, I think that is the final nail in Hillary's coffin, no chance in hell of her winning.

It's not just the very conservatives; the progressive wing also distrusts him. However, I'll stick with my 20-25% prediction - more than enough to hand Trump his ass provided that Hillary is not campaigning from a cell (maybe then Trump could win).

Also, keep in mind that those democrats you are depending on WILL NOT vote for Republican Congressional candidates. So, the Senate control flips and the House GOP lead narrows with Trump at the head.

Gee, I wonder what kind of deals a President Trump would make with Senate Majority leader Schumer?

We'll agree to disagree on that first part, I believe the evidence is on my side considering you're only at 17% saying the won't show on this very conservative leaning forum, and less than that will follow through push comes to shove realizing anybody is better than Hillary.

I think you are mostly right on the second point. Many of the crossover voters are old school democrats who still believe the democrats are the party of JFK, I think some of these people vote R almost across the board, the 1 issue democrat voters who will cross over I believe with still vote D, but then again that is what happened when Reagan was elected (which is why he had to work with Tip O'Neill). Even with that Hillary is not liked and turn out will be low for the democrats, playing defense with the senate it will be hard to keep. Assuming party suicide doesn't happen the house stays R Majority.

Hillary will get 90+% of registered Democrats just like Cruz will get about the same number of registered Republicans. You may think that I'm crazy, but DO NOT under estimate the ability of the Democrats when it comes to getting out their vote. The problem for Trump and to a lesser extent Hillary is with Democrat leaning independents and liberals who typically vote democrat but are not registered per se. I see Hillary winning 75% of the Democrat leaning independents and slightly edging Trump out of the true independents.

Hypothetically if Cruz gets your 90% if he is the nominee & Hillary gets 90% of dems, Hillary will win independents at a much higher rate against Cruz than she will Trump, not many people would dispute that.... And if that is the case Hillary wins easy, this is what has scared me the entire time.

Republicans needed to expand the party, the neocon's way of doing it was to pander on issues like immigration that are eating us alive & it's been proven it doesn't work im fact it weakens the Republican position. Trump is winning over voters by focusing on the obvious huge problems neither party has been willing to fix and not giving a **** about stupid social issues that drive a majority of the single issue democrat voters to the polls... So far I'd say Trump's strategy is brilliant & Cruz's strategy would have been brilliant with the demographics of 60 years ago but not today.

Actually, a lot of people dispute your assumption. Trump's approval rating among independents is -27; Cuz's is -3 among that group. I've posted this data several times in the previous thread on the election (or just Google "Trump independent approval").

I think here's where your math goes awry. I think you're wildly underestimating Hillary's "hateability" quotient. I'm absolutely not counting on anything to come of Benghazi, her emails or the Clinton Foundation sliminess. The Clinton's are the closest thing to untouchables left in the Untied States. They're teflon coated titanium. However, Hillary isn't Bill by any stretch of the imagination. Whereas he's charming and likable, she positively exudes hateful biotch. As a result, I think a higher percentage of Dem voters will be pissed at having to vote for her, if they vote for her at all. Nothing the Republicans say about her will do any damage, but what the Large "L" Liberals have and will continue to say about her will. If she gets 85% of the registered Democrats and 60% of independents, I'll be surprised. JMO, YMMV

A few points.
- I'm not advocating being cattle.
- I think that you are confusing Israel with Jews who are on the Left. They are not synonymous with each other. If you take a look within Israel, you'll see significant numbers of crazy Jewish Leftists who are like US Leftists - sympathizing with Muslim terrorist groups, wanting to weaken the border, hating the military, throwing the Nazi smear against anyone who wants to secure the country, etc.
Yes, there are a lot of Jews on the Left. There are a lot on the "Right" (I put that in quotes because anything that is not Left is lumped into the "Right").
- I don't want to pay for it, but I'd rather pay for that than all the $$ we send to the Saudi's and various Muslim enemies of humanity. It wouldn't even cost that much. Just let Israel do it's thang, don't stand in their way. Maybe feed them intel (which is already being paid for anyways).
- The Pollard thing is inexcusable. I was not aware of the dead Americans. The Cold War made for some truly insane arrangements. Us helping fund and arm Islamists who later rebranded themselves into the Taliban and AQ being one of these arrangements. These groups were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths at a minimum, including many American ones.
Ditto goes for US support of the KLA, the Bosnian Muslims, who were (and are) both terrorists, rapists, slave traffickers, drug traffickers, etc.
But I digress.
- My argument is based on American interests. Letting Israel flounder would be bad for the US. What I am saying is get out of their way, let them take care of our mutual problem.

I don't want to divert the thread.

But grow up all governments spy against each other,i.e. revelations of Snowden.

Pollard went off reservation and was selling info to others besides Israel, which is why he served longer than any other convicted traitor.

Israel has ZERO desire to hurt America nor take away the American peoples freedom, many like me believe the Constitution is the greatest man made document in the history of the world. A document that includes many ideas found in Orthodox Judaism. Why would Jew want to hurt the best country to Jews in the history of the world. Which is why a Jew was one of the primary financial backers of the war of Independence.

If you mean the stupid liberal Jews like Sanders that have replace Torah with Marx, they are my enemy also.

- My argument is based on American interests. Letting Israel flounder would be bad for the US. What I am saying is get out of their way, let them take care of our mutual problem.



We are indeed nearing the point of no return.

We should have burned him alive for what he did but the fool in the White House freeed him for no other reason then inflicting as much harm as possible on the American nation and people as possible.

As for Israel, at best they are lose cannon, more over they do not need our support they have 300 nukes and are more then willing to fire. Sending them money so they buy our systems and sell them to China (who in turns sells them Russia, India, Pakistan and now Iran) is a pointless circle jerk that is arming more and more the world with our level of tech, and soon they will have the means to do greater harm with greater ease.

I wonder if Trump is willing to cut of arms sells?



The fires of a thousand Hells await him, Betrayal is the sin beyond forgiveness.

I don't want to divert the thread.

But grow up all governments spy against each other,i.e. revelations of Snowden.

Pollard went off reservation and was selling info to others besides Israel, which is why he served longer than any other convicted traitor.

Since that was the case why did we not have him shot?

Let me be clear, I am not saying you are or support such things, just asking a question from some one from that nation.


Israel has ZERO desire to hurt America nor take away the American peoples freedom, many like me believe the Constitution is the greatest man made document in the history of the world. A document that includes many ideas found in Orthodox Judaism.


How do you explain the many organization and individuals that support some kinds of subversive actions and ideals that seeming have ties to the Israeli goverment?



Why would Jew want to hurt the best country to Jews in the history of the world. Which is why a Jew was one of the primary financial backers of the war of Independence.


Same thing that lies in the hearts and minds of all men of all races, nations, etc, the desire to control forces and entities greater then us.


If you mean the stupid liberal Jews like Sanders that have replace Torah with Marx, they are my enemy also.


So why dont you guys speak out against them? strip away their ability to hide behind the "I am Jewish and you are Anti Semitic for even disagreeing with me" card?

Admit it they are rather annoying and make you guys look very bad as awhile as well being total wet blankets.


Now back to Trump, Does anyone else think he is just the beginning of a restoration of the Right, a purge of the Globalist/Neo con and a reclamation of the JBS/Liberty mind Patriots?

New York City Mayor John F. Hylan in 1922 . . .


The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.

They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.

These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.

Limbaugh just read a story attempting to explain Trump's popularity, specifically with evangelicals. It was a story about research that had been previously done, found out 1/3 of evangelicals are pro-choice & for the vast majority of evangelicals, social issues mattered little.

This just reinforces my hypothesis regarding Trump's strategy, target the big issues & ignore the social issues (or gloss over them briefly). The idiot establishment's strategy has been pander to evangelicals by pushing social issues, pander to Hispanics thinking they'll get the vote by kissing ass letting in illegals (and satisfying their donor's cravings for cheap labor) while keeping the government nice & fat, "compassionate conservatism" (more pandering) and NEOCON foreign policy. It's almost like Trump is diametrically opposed to them on almost every issue while being in the same party, yet he is far from a liberal democrat.

I will post one last time in regards to being a Jew and an Israeli. I was an officer and was well known to people in the USA government that had anti terror responsibilities some of them even had badges and could have arrested me if I were breaking an USA laws. Never got arrested.

I have stronger feeling than any of you regarding the leftist scum that left Judaism for liberal crap that will remove Constitutional rights or impose painful taxes from their progressive ideas. I am more conservative than maybe 90% of the people in the USA and maybe on this form. I have a graduate degree and know how far this great country has strayed .

Israel can't sell any weapons without USA approval. The aid Israel receives from the USA, is not aid money but corporate welfare, for the military industrial complex in the USA. Israel canceled the Lavi our fighter jet because the USA told Israel to do so.

My loyalty, how do you measure it ? My spilled blood while in uniform, then guess what the USA wins by a mile.

I think here's where your math goes awry. I think you're wildly underestimating Hillary's "hateability" quotient. I'm absolutely not counting on anything to come of Benghazi, her emails or the Clinton Foundation sliminess. The Clinton's are the closest thing to untouchables left in the Untied States. They're teflon coated titanium. However, Hillary isn't Bill by any stretch of the imagination. Whereas he's charming and likable, she positively exudes hateful biotch. As a result, I think a higher percentage of Dem voters will be pissed at having to vote for her, if they vote for her at all. Nothing the Republicans say about her will do any damage, but what the Large "L" Liberals have and will continue to say about her will. If she gets 85% of the registered Democrats and 60% of independents, I'll be surprised. JMO, YMMV

My math is based on the available data which is a snapshot in time at this moment. Here is some more data that was released today in the form of an NBC/WSJ poll:

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/how-trump-rubio-cruz-would-fare-against-clinton-november-n534191

Hillary Clinton kicks the sh!t out of Trump by double digits. Her margin of victory is based on a more than 10 point advantage with independents. It gets worse - Sanders beats Trump by 18 points...Bernie - Fu<cking - Sanders...let that sink in a bit.

You can tell me what you think and feel about who will show up for the election. You can also tell me how Trump will close that gap with his media savvy and Jedi mind tricks. You can even tell me how those polls are biased and under present conservatives (just like people did when polls had Romney trailing Obama). What I'm telling you is the best available data at this moment in no way supports you emotions and estimations. That data, right now, says that you had better prepare for the likely possibility that Trump will lose to whoever the Dems nominate AND he will take the Senate down with him.

I honestly don't see Cruz ever beating Hillary in a general election given his views on abortion. She will make the entire election about abortion rights and that will be the end of that. Currently there are no polls regarding Hillary vs. Cruz after she has made the theme of the election "women's rights."

Relax Hommie, I'm not the only one who talks about polls. For the past 3 months, I couldn't find a TV station that didn't have Trump bragging about how he was leading in the polls. I suppose we know why he's not so bullish on the general election.

The same data that shows Trump losing big shows Cruz tied with Clinton as of today. That data has been fairly consistent for several weeks.

Perhaps my comments were misconstrued, to clarify I'll vote for Ronald McDonald if he is on the ballot against Hillary (unless the RNC subverts the will of the people). On the issues I probably agree with Cruz on the most, but I don't see him nesting Hillary, I also think he is not a leader or should I say his leadership is not what we need right now. If Trump builds the Great Wall of America and deports millions of illegals he'll have succeeded. My comments were not personal, just pointing out I not only hope but believe Sensei is misguided following the polls he is following. Bottom line, I want to see Hillary defeated.

Bingo, this is what I've been pointing out about Trump. He defused much of Hillary's fair weather base by not focusing on social issues. He is going to steal part of her base based on his immigration stance. Cruz's strategy was to get the conservatives who stayed home in 2012 while allowing Clinton to get a boost from her base based on the social issues. Cruz's strategy would make much more sense if it were 50-60 years ago, before we had the immigration boom.... Hence why the wall & deporting illegals is vitally important, everything else is academic if we don't fix immigration.

The reason why Trump will fail is that he is not conservative. He makes the same mistake as McCain and Romney in that he tries to be mix conservative and progressive polices into some populist crap that is supposed to be catnip to moderate voters. For example, his view on illegal immigration is conservative with strict boarder enforcement; his view on legal immigration issues like H1-B visas is populist. The same can be said for his economic package - tax cuts are conservative, entitlement spending is populist or even progressive by my standards.

The problem with this approach is that it comes across as unprincipled pandering to conservatives. At the same times, his populism cannot compete with the Santa Claus mentality of the left. For example, Trump offers to cover everybody with healthcare, but Bernie and Hillary offer to pay for their healthcare with house calls and college tuition. People who are susceptible to such promises are not deep thinkers; they are going to vote for the candidate who promises the most free shit and that will be the Democratic candidate. Meanwhile conservatives and real moderates are left wondering what the hell he was thinking for offering free healthcare in the first place.

Finally, the fact that you mistake Trump for conservative is why I won't vote for him. If elected, he will sell his populism as conservatism and redefine what it means to be conservative toward progressivism and statism. GWB tried this with his "compassionate convervatism" and we are still paying the price 8 years later. I think that America can survive 4-8 years of further Republican decline if Hillary wins. It cannot survive if we continue to replace traditional conservative values of limited government with Trump's rebranded progressivism.

There's no way in Hell America can survive 4-8 years of Hillary. If she wins she gets to appoint up to 3 supreme court justices, She will push for and get another assault weapons ban, I don't know about you but I'm not willing to give up any guns. we will be stuck with Obama care and taxed to death, illegal immigrants will be the majority and even if the republicans keep the house and Senate they will let her get away with anything like they did Obama.

I don't think Trump is quite as fundamental about abortion, and more importantly, most public perception is along those lines, but rather you and I trade opinion, let's do an actual comparison.

Donald Trump on Abortion


Defund Planned Parenthood. (Oct 2015)
Planned Parenthood is important, but abortions must stop. (Aug 2015)
I have evolved on abortion issue, like Reagan evolved. (Aug 2015)
Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health. (Jun 2015)
I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice. (Apr 2011)
I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories. (Apr 2011)
I am pro-life; fight ObamaCare abortion funding. (Feb 2011)
Pro-choice, but ban partial birth abortion. (Jul 2000)
Favors abortion rights but respects opposition. (Dec 1999)

Ted Cruz on Abortion

Companies can deny insuring birth control. (Apr 2012)
Protect innocent human life with partial-birth ban. (Jul 2011)
Opposes public abortion funding. (Oct 2012)
Opposes churches providing birth control. (Oct 2012)

In addition, Ted also has some "gay rights" luggage, especially after visiting Kim Davis. For Trump abortion is a political position, for Cruz abortion is a religious position.

And again, current polls are meaningless. All those numbers will be thrown out the window if Hillary can make the election about women's rights, abortion or even gay rights.

Those issues are meaningless, let business and churches decide for themselves as is protected by the 1st Amendment, as for abortion, as ****ed as is it sounds it does keep the population of future Democratic voters down. The way we can avoid that is to hand out free birth control which is cheaper in the long run.

I had an ancestor who fought under the command of Fancis Marion (in both the The French and Indian War as well as The Revolutionary War) which the character of Benjamin Martin is based upon. The studio and film makers didn't want to use his name due to political correctness.

Those issues are meaningless, let business and churches decide for themselves as is protected by the 1st Amendment, as for abortion, as ****ed as is it sounds it does keep the population of future Democratic voters down. The way we can avoid that is to hand out free birth control which is cheaper in the long run.

Might be meaningless to you, and I might agree with your view on the matter, but that doesn't mean millions of Obama voters can't get stirred up when Hillary makes it the defining issue of the election.

Gentlemen and Women may I suggest that the United States of America didn't get in this mess in a single election cycle. It took the country a long time to get so messed up, I am not sure if it matters that the start of the decline is given a date or we just know it has declined.

I am not a Trump supporter for the following reasons, I have no clear idea of who he is. Are his positions of 5 years ago his positions on issues or is his position those he has stated on his web page for President?

I really don't know his position on guns, abortion, homosexuality, or anything else.

On the other side of the coin, we have a socialist-commie in the form of a self hating Jew, in my book the lowest scum around.

Then we have Hilary, one of the foulest people I ever been around. I was close to her on several occasions when Bill and her visited Israel. She is also more radical than obama in her heart.

I am not sure American can be saved at this point in time by an election. However I am damn sure that if Hilary get's elected it will be over by the time she is done.

If Trump get's the nomination and the GOP doesn't play tricks on him at the convention or by sabotaging his campaign through the death of a 1000 cuts i.e. Trump is for sure technically dirty. You can't do business outside of the USA as an America and not break stupid American laws. The GOP will leak dozens of allegations against Trump. Trust me I know, what it is to run a company as an American outside of the USA, a big pain in the rear to try and comply with hundreds of stupid laws.

So in closing I will vote Trump, not that I support him but as a no vote to Hilary.

I don't think Trump is quite as fundamental about abortion, and more importantly, most public perception is along those lines, but rather you and I trade opinion, let's do an actual comparison.

Donald Trump on Abortion


Defund Planned Parenthood. (Oct 2015)
Planned Parenthood is important, but abortions must stop. (Aug 2015)
I have evolved on abortion issue, like Reagan evolved. (Aug 2015)
Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health. (Jun 2015)
I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice. (Apr 2011)
I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories. (Apr 2011)
I am pro-life; fight ObamaCare abortion funding. (Feb 2011)
Pro-choice, but ban partial birth abortion. (Jul 2000)
Favors abortion rights but respects opposition. (Dec 1999)

Ted Cruz on Abortion

Companies can deny insuring birth control. (Apr 2012)
Protect innocent human life with partial-birth ban. (Jul 2011)
Opposes public abortion funding. (Oct 2012)
Opposes churches providing birth control. (Oct 2012)

In addition, Ted also has some "gay rights" luggage, especially after visiting Kim Davis. For Trump abortion is a political position, for Cruz abortion is a religious position.

And again, current polls are meaningless. All those numbers will be thrown out the window if Hillary can make the election about women's rights, abortion or even gay rights.

You start a post with what you think and then tell me to put aside opinion?

OK, I'll play your game. It appears from your quote that you think Dems will go easy on Trump's abortion stance because he is soft on the issue, having recently been prochoice. Does that mean that the Dems will go easy on Trump's current pro-Second Amendment stance because he once favored AWB's? Will he be soft on that issue too?

Finally, if Cruz's abortion stance is such a stigma with moderate democrats and independents, why is he in a statistical dead heat with Hillary while Trump is getting his ass beat in part due to losses in the exact demographic that you describe? Keep in mind these are likely voters who are well aware of each candidate's position on abortion.

It is convenient for you to dismiss polls as insignificant when they do not support your assumptions. Having said that, try to find some actual data that supports your assumptions instead of telling us how you think things will change.

This used to be a foregone conclusion, but there's some poling data that is interesting. One model shows blue dog/blue collar dems voting for Trump, and most indies voting for Trump. If this is the case a lot of states that are traditionally Blue could go to Trump. Because Bernie is doing so well there is every indication that the dems are not nearly as warm about Clinton as the media would have us believe.

Of course, that could all go out the window and every conservative stay home, every voter with an "R" votes for Trump, and every voter with a "D" votes for not-Trump, and the dems win.

Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, got a little physical with a female reporter from Breitbart of all places. Lewandowski’s explanation was that he and had never met the reporter before, and that he didn’t recognize her as a Breitbart reporter, instead mistaking her for an adversarial member of the mainstream media.

To me, life is a game of probability. There is always a chance of wierd sh!t.

As of today, I give Trump a 75% chance. That decreases a little if Rubio and Kasich get out before this weekend and throw their support behind Cruz. I say a little because it is unclear to me if their support has enough time to shift in Cruz's direction, and their might be an advantage to Kasich staying in the race for a week just to deny Trump OH.

Trump's odds go up to 90% if he takes FL but loses OH (assuming Rubio gets out and supports Cruz immediately after his ass woop'en).

Trump's odds approach 95% if he carries FL and OH.

Even if he takes both OH and FL there is a very slim chance that Cruz could keep him from 1237.

No overturning Obamacare, no tightening the border, no revamping the tax code - no real meaningful reforms on anything at all. Pretty much rubber-stamp everything the Dems send down the line. This has been their M. O. pretty much since 08, has it not?

These people have shown no signs of wanting to win or lead, if you ask me.

There is no such thing as "a lock" and I've never said that Trump is guaranteed to lose. I am pointing out the fact that Hillary beats Trump in the majority of polls and this faith in the independent vote is likely misplaced.

I think this is pretty accurate. If Rubio and Kasich bailed and supported Cruz, this thing would be a dog fight. But IF indies are going to vote for a Republican nominee, they would most likely vote for Trump and not Cruz. That's historical. So, conversely, if Cruz is the nominee, chances are likely indies will go to the dems. Independent voters typically stay in the middle. If Cruz is the nominee, the blue dog/blue collar dems will almost certainly vote for the dem nominee. BUT, if Cruz is the nominee, I think we'll see far more far-right/conservative voters voting who would otherwise choose to not vote (rather than vote for Trump).

Truth... So many of them wanted Hillary last time vs Obama. I went to college with piles of them that wanted their first woman president so much more than they wanted the first black president. But when Hillary was out there was no "I'm staying home or writing in someone else," talk. They do as they're told because they actually believe that whoever emerges at the end of the process is who they must vote for.

You may be wondering to yourself, "Why in the **** would they do this and destroy their own party?" If you are, you're asking the right question. The reason why is simple, the GOP establishment and conservative intelligentsia would rather be the rulers of an emaciated, hermit kingdom GOP than surrender some of their power to the Alt-Right and Nationalist/Populist voices within their party. This is what is known as the Iron Rule of Institutions.

The Iron Rule of Institutions states that individuals in positions of power within an institution care first and foremost about their power within the institution before caring about how powerful their institution is. Another way of saying it to paraphrase Milton, "It's better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven." The GOP establishment fully intends to destroy the party over Donald Trump, because they'd rather be the chariman of a destroyed political party than allow newer voices in.

And that's even more of a reason that they need to go.. The days of the Mitch McConnels, Lindsey Grahams, John Mcains, are over.They sold out too many times. And, if anything the GOP may be getting the badly needed overhaul it needs, although it may cost all of us, if Thundercunt gets elected.. And if that happens, don't blame Trump, put the blame where it belongs, on the establishment Republicans. Never in my life have I seen a election where one party is perfectly willing to stab one of its own candidates in the back, and vote for the other team, to keep him from winning.. Trump is not exactly my candidate of choice, but I'll take him over Thundercunt, any day of the week.

I highly doubt it. Trump sounds like a idiot. He says the same things over and over. Plus he has no plans, build a wall let Mexico pay for it. Doesn't say how just it's going to be big beautiful wall. Nothing he can give details about.

Tell that to the Trump supporters in this thread. PatrioticDisorder still thinks that Trump will get to 90% at the top of this page. Glocktogo and SteyrAUG think that Trump is more electable than Hillary.:rolleyes:
All comes down to the 270
I think our last hope for America is article V. Term limits AND get rid of the electoral vote

The ditch & switch / chaos votes will indeed switch back in the general. #Shrillery2016. The only two candidates on the right that can articulate in a debate with the witch and may have a chance is Cruz and Mario. Cruz can call her out on any issue without being a hypocrite. Cruz is golden solid on record. Trump has too much history they will use against him and I think he lacks the wit to win a debate with her. If he gets nominated the media will turn on him day 1, foxnews included. They are in the MSM club now, no different. Kasich is left leaning, common core, global warming. I don't trust him as well.
