So you support a candidate bought & paid for by Wall Street and who will continue the current status quo?

How many will sit out the General Election if they don't pull any s*it?

And if they sit out because Trump is on the ticket, they will most likely be the party faithful. As in the ones who vote straight party ticket. Keeping him in will hurt them in congress and local elections. I can understand why they would rather keep congress than have a Democrat, who calls himself a Republican, as president.

Um, dexter75, Trump owns Ohio and Florida. This is the latest:

This new poll is utterly devastating for Marco Rubio - Vox

According to Quinnipiac yesterday, Trump is ahead of his nearest opponent by 44 percent to 28 percent in Florida--delegate allocation is winner take all.

"At least 8 states"? He's going to win every primary of the remaining ones.

But if what the OP says is true, the RNC is free to move that target.

Of course I'm sure that would bring a massive lawsuit from the self-professed King of Lawsuits.

Donald Trump is going to win ALL states except Iowa and Texas.

He will be the nominee with no convention deliberation at all.

Trump will beat Hillary before California polls close.

The GOP will be reshaped, stronger and fresher.

They will expand control of both House and Senate, successfully
thwart Obama's attempt to install another liberal Supreme Court justice,
stack the court with Consititutional Originalists, and restore America
to the conservative traditions.

Kennedy, Ginsburg and Breyer will die or retire. +1 for the vacant seat
is a 7-2 conservative control of the Supreme Court.

And that's so different than supporting a candidate who does the buying and selling how?

There's much truth in 'It takes two to tango'.

Trump is a liberal, he won't be nominating Constitutionalists. If you wanted that you should have been supporting Cruz. Trump will be nominating judges who practice judicial legislation and are socially liberal. Kiss your conservative traditions goodbye.
