I understand the argument for running a third-party candidate; namely, that such a candidacy will limit the down-ballot bloodbath for the GOP. However, I am hopeful that in 2018 the GOP will recoup the huge losses it suffers this year.
The "Dole" in your name has endorsed Donald Trump. Just thought you should know. Not that it will likely matter: like all anti-Trumpers, you are probably blinded by a fanatical delusion and stubborn refusal to even WANT to see beyond your filters.

This entire election cycle is actually pretty hilarious.

Liberals are blindly following Hillary who could give two chits about them and should be in prison
Blacks continue to vote for the party that fought to keep slavery and brought them the KKK
Cons elites are going crazy over the fact they may loose their corporate money
Working cons are so pissed at loosing jobs to China and becoming a 3rd world country through trade they vote Trump

Good Lord, it couldn't get anymore assinine.

If it wouldn't be for the liberals need for their neighbor to take care of them I'd say lets all put Trump in DC just to raise hell for 8 years.

Donald Trump is, you mean.

I think that it is totally unrealistic to expect the GOP to unite behind Trump given that he has hurled huge insults at so many in the GOP (including McCain, Romney, and the Bushes). You cannot receive loyalty until you have shown that you are a team player.

Do you mean "foul" people or are you saying they are ducks and chickens?

I had supported Cruz, like you. As a parent, I cannot teach my children that it is OK to get ahead by calling people "fat pigs" or "losers." Or suggesting that a crowd beat someone up or send someone out on a stretcher. That is a fascist, not Republican, ideology.

Whatever. You can call whatever stupid names you want to call, and you can try to bend reality all you want.

I'm just glad that it seems like somebody is FINALLY willing to actually FIGHT for MY children's future...........unlike all the GOP Establishment flunkies (you know: the guys and gals that Cruz hopped into bed with???)

Oh, and you forget the Hitler reference. You're welcome.
Clown.

I guess you take after Trump by making ad hominem insults. In what way is Trump fighting for anyone's future but his? He is making promises he knows are flatly illegal and he can't keep, such as excluding Muslims from the U.S. and making a poor country pay for a wall for the U.S.'s benefit.

And I did not refer to Hitler.

I know. You forgot the de rigeur reference to Hitler.
I was helping you.

And do you REALLY expect to ever find a single politician who is not fighting primarily for themselves?? Or who doesn't make promises they can't keep??
Wow.

Loyalty, for some, is not a tradable commodity.

Selective much? There is precedent for excluding groups of people, plus he said they have to be vetted.
Homeland security says there's no sure way of vetting them at this time.

So, what would you do, not knowing who they are or why they are coming?
