if that happens the republican party is dead and they just dont know it yet. even i would leave the republican party over that, and i have been a republican since 1976 when i could first register to vote.

If they did that I would leave the Republican Party.
I normally vote Libertarian for President (in hopes of breaking the hold) but would vote Hillary just to kill any chance of a Republican win.

Republican party is tearing itself apart from the inside. It's entertaining to watch.

No , not at all. Hillary is very popular with many people. She will continue the policies of the current administration and weaken the country. After eight years we won't have a country and no opposition to her party. She won't be able to run again. She can then invite the U.N. in to keep the piece and prevent chaos. Everyone loves the U.N. and wants to send them in to keep the piece around the world so why not here too. We all belong to one world and are confined to it. We will embrace being world citizens if someone who acts presidential explains it correctly. I see a smooth transition. Don't you ?

Not really. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green Party, Communist Labor Party, it doesn't matter, the party leadership's loyalty is to the party. The fact that primaries are open to pretty much every Tom, Dick and Harriet the party leadership has a responsibility to ensure that a party's candidate reflects the parties principles and objectives.
