I think if Trump could get on the ballot he would run. He did well tonight so it's hard to see if he won't get the amount needed. The only solace the GOP has is most of the states coming up now are closed primaries, and Trump doesn't do as well in them.

Your chacterization of the South is totally off base. The rocket scientists who sent men to the moon and brought them back alive to talk about it, all lived in the South.

In regards to Chicago, Trump took state by wide margin. Thugs protesting in Chicago was for naught.

There won't be a brokered convention.

It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that most, if not all, of the protesters were paid to protest.

Trump didn't have "big problems" in Chicago, like you are trying to spin..
Illinois primary-
Cook County-
Trump 40.7%
Kasich 24.6%
Cruz 22.4%
Rubio 10.3%

Proof from a credible source? If not, save it. Its pure speculation. I am talking about protesters at his rallies, not his votes. Try and keep up....

Trump's percentage of the vote here is almost certainly lower than Romney's, who took the state as a whole by a much larger margin four years ago (46.9%).

Seriously, has Trump won ANY of his states with a larger percentage of the vote than his 2012 counterpart?

Anyone with a half a brain knows that when Soros backs or recruits someone he does it with money, not with just a feel good pat on the back. He funded the protesters in Chicago just like he'd funded the Ferguson protesters.

SO if the GOP big wigs steal the nomination from the popular peoples man Trump what is going to happen? Trump as controversial as he is has brought countless people to politics and has even converted Dems to Reps. He has motivated many people like no one has before.

SO if the GOP takes away the peoples majority choice and sticks in some typical guy how many of the people that are mad supporters and only came to politics because is Trump will actually stay home on election day ensuring Hillary a win?

Will Trump run third party?
Will the people get behind whomever the GOP tells them to in an effort to keep Hillary out of the WH?
Will the disillusioned people stay home on election day?
Will it be the end of the Republican party?

I know that if it comes down to a brokered convention and if Trump is still ahead in the polls and has a higher delegate count than his competitors and does not receive the nomination then this independent voter will be very disappointed in the system.


Your thoughts?
Well, if that happens, what I will do is rejoice in the fact that I can again participate in and get excited about this election once more, whereas my enthusiasm has been significantly quelled by the fact that a buffoon is currently leading my party as of now.


You Trump supporters make much ado about the fact that if you don't get your way, you'll just take your ball and go home. But what you never bother to factor in to the equation, is how many Republicans, like myself, will refuse to vote for the Republican in November, if that Republican is Donald Trump? You only look at one side of the math problem without factoring in the other half. So the real question for the RNC is, which path loses them the most votes? Nominating Trump? Or taking it away from him?

Where does it say they were paid? Also, George Soros is a huge Hillary Clinton supporter. Why would he fund move on when they endorsed Sanders? Nice conspiracy theory but it doesn't fit. You shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet lol
