IF he truly is a non-establishment candidate he should not have sought the nomination of a pure establishment party, it's only making him look like an opportunist without the cojones to back-up his alleged convictions by running as an (I). If the GOP turns on him and tells him YOU'RE FIRED!, he has no one to blame but himself.
The GOP will never receive another donation from me unless the candidate closest to or over 1,237 delegates gets the nomination.
"Closest to" doesn't count. If a candidate doesn't meet or exceed that number it means the majority of the party doesn't want him or her. Why should any party nominate a candidate that is not supported by at the very least a bare majority of the party?

If Trump is at 1200 or so and Cruz at 650, Trump should get the nomination. Who else would get it ?
Someone that hasn't even campaigned or someone that got to 1200 despite every effort by his own party to cause him to lose ?
If you know baseball, it's like having a dominant starting pitcher on the mound with all of the fielders purposely dropping easy fly balls and
striking out instead of hitting away.
And we always have the possibility of Trump running as an Independent, sealing the fate of ANY GOP candidate.

You seem to have difficulty with the concept of a majority. There's no sane reason any party would put up a candidate that couldn't even garner the support of the barest minimum majority of its own members. If the majority of its own members don't want him, why should they make them their candidate? Because some loud-mouthed supporters demand it?

No I don't have any difficulty at all, so dispense with your insults. 1,200 delegates is a near majority and it would be the death of the GOP is Trump is not given the nomination with 1,200 votes.
And I don't give a rat's arse about allegiance to a party that is supposed to represent the will of the people. If Trump has 1,200 delegates and Cruz is next at 650, who would the GOP throw up as an alternative ? Nikki Haley ? Mitt Romney, a loser already ? Paul Ryan who hasn't even campaigned ? Cruz, who can't even garner 25% of the vote ? Rubio, who got blown out in his own state ? Kasich, who hasn't even won a state ? Jeb, because he's a Bush and thinks of illegal immigration as an "act of love" ?
The people are the ones that vote not the party and you will see a major party rebellion if Trump is close to 1,237 and not given the nod.

Translation: please send money so that we can employ staffers in key states to work against Trump. What idiots. I'm glad to see that others decided to hit them where it hurts.
I agree. We know exactly where the money went and where any future donations will go.

Good post. And, I know from living here in a state that goes GOP that they are just as corrupt as the rest of them. It doesn't matter who we elect they continue to support the same crap. Here, big business controls the government.

The GOP is in deep horse poopy if they cheat Trump. Everyone may have their idea of what that entails, but it seems the GOP has it covered at this point as they work against Trump. Now, we knew if they didn't get Jeb Bush nominated that they would not be happy. Now, they want to throw their support to the other dynasty candidate and realize that Trump would be the most likely to keep her from the throne she so desperately wants. Tick that item off on her bucket list, yes, definitely the reason to run.

IF he's the great deal maker he claims to be he would've known that was a possibility going in. If it happens he has no one to blame but himself.

WHEN did he ever act like a member of the team he's trying to get to put him on the mound?

He should've done that from the start, at this point the only candidate's fate he'd likely seal is that of making the (D) nominee successful.

The GOP didn't meet its March fundraising goals
