Unless Ted Cruz pulls off a comeback for the ages, Trump will win the nomination. The best approach would be to just accept Trump. Throw full support behind him. You never know, he just might beat Hillary. And in the more likely event that he loses the general election at least only minimal damage will have been done to the GOP.

I lost all confidence in the Republican Party long ago. A move to hijack the nomination process would do the same for millions of loyal party members.
If the GOP deny Trump support when he gets the nomination, I will know they are all Rinos and want Hillary in to protect there corruption because Trump would expose them.

Trump is a great threat because he doesn't like the corrupt system of special interests,lobby's that bribe for votes and out of control spending. The GOP are afraid he will clean up Washington and Trump is so frank in his speech ,we will all know who did what.

They have their system in place. All of the rules, not just some of them. If Trump doesn't have a majority going into the convention, he, just like the others, is subject to ALL of them, not just SOME of them.

As someone else said, close doesn't count here. This is not horseshoes, dancing or hand grenades.
I am speaking about the GOP denying Trump support after he gets the nomination.

We have a ballot box to elect the candidate of our choice. If the establishment refuses Trump ,we will vote them out of office.We The People were dead right that the establishment is one sick body who are corrupt and power hungry. They will not deny We The People without repercussions of great magnitude.

Trump will crush Hillary at rhe ballot box. Hillary will regret ever going into politics after Trump cremates her and her image.
They've always had that right.

The people haven't been voting for candidates. They have been voting for delegates to send to the convention.

If the party poobahs decide Trump doesn't fit the party's image it's Donny who's the RINO.

Yet he played in that corrupt system, bribing those politicians when it suited his purpose, eh? If the GOP screws him over he deserves what he gets, he knew all along what a dirty system it was yet played the same game. IF he really is the outsider he professes to be he should've been running as an (I) from the beginning.

An allegedly smart man shouldn't be complaining about fleas after lying down with dogs.

I live in a very Republican area in Florida.

I can tell you my neighbors are appalled at what Trump is doing to the GOP. Not the so called RINOs; these people, my neighbors, are life long Republicans, many who have worked in many campaigns.

None of them, and I mean none, will volunteer this time around if Trump gets the nomination. Many will stay at home, and some have even said they would hold their nose and vote for Hillary. Their perspective is that the damage Trump will do is worse than waiting 4 years to boot Hillary out of office. They are dismayed at the damage he is doing to the Republican brand.

Trump's Achilles heel is that he has no ground troops to offer the GOP. He has no broad spectrum volunteer networked. The one that ensures GOTV, which is so critical for Senators, Representatives and Governors to piggy back on. He's done well with that in the primaries, but my suspicion is that with some of the more difficult primaries coming up, especially California, is that this will start to bite him in the rear.

Speaking as a Republican-turned-Libertarian (for nearly forty years) I would much rather see the White House occupied by Trump than someone from the collection of losers and looters who gave us Obama and the Clintons -- and I know a lot of other non-doctrinal conservatives who feel the same way. Were he elected to the Presidency, Mr. Trump would get a rough lesson in the fine art of realpolitik, but it would at least represent a change from the metastatic disease incubated by the so-called "progressives".

You know damn well they will steal the nomination away from Trump if he doesn't have the delegates. It's all come out what the GOP's true colors really are.

It's an obvious Hillary victory if they pull this crap. And it's party suicide. Over 50% of the citizens who are conservative will never vote for them ever again. This is why we need to create a new party.

Just my thoughts, is all.

Trump has already destroyed the GOP either way.

Again -- there are plenty of people who have had it with the corruption.
If Trump gets the votes, and is still denied the nomination -- look out. This country is over.
