Who do you think conservatives are going to enter as an independent candidate to run against Trump and Clinton?

No one. I don't think there is a reason at this point.

I would have to use the word "conservative" kinda loosely, but I think that only Romney would be willing to do it. Doing something like this would be super risky to the person's political career, so it's got to be someone who is out of politics and don't really want to go back into it. I wouldn't have believed that Romney would do it, but for his press conference. That was truly something else. He would do anything to ensure Mr. Trump does not become the next POTUS.

Tom Coburn is another possibility.

Romney would do it, and Romney would lose. The die is cast, the results will be the same. Start practicing: Hiel Hilary.

Oh, Romney knows he would lose, he is not a dummy. He just needs to take away a state or two from Mr. Trump and it's game over, Madame President. Mission accomplished.

What would that be good for? The people have spoken and Ted Cruz is not wanted by the majority.

Good point, but Donald really doesn't need any help. He is going to prove that he is a winner. Of course, it will be winning at losing. But that still counts as a win, right?

Has everyone voted in the primaries and caucuses of all 50 states? I guess I missed that. The "majority" doesn't want Donald either. It will be clearer to you in November.
