pathetic little tramp posted:I think the only safe thing for the GOP to do is to announce that they are ratfucking Trump right now, well in advance of the convention. Announce you are not letting him be the GOP nominee, announce he is not allowed in the republican party and hope and PRAY that by the time the convention comes around the media has gotten bored of the ratfucking angle and the white-hot rage of the base has subsided somehow. The convention is far enough away, that's a possibility. I don't think this will happen because the RINOs realize that Trump shares only one true trait with elephants: Trump would never forget the people who ratfucked him vindictively out of a shot at the presidency. The Republican Party isn't going to hate gently caress a literal billionaire with anger control issues and one of the largest egos in the world. If they gently caress him, they'll gently caress him in a friendly, by the rules way. Trump is a businessman after all, he's familiar with that sort of loving.

God, remember when Obama was like "wow, I'll give the GOP a chance bipartisanship blah blah blah" for the first six years of his presidency? Small mercy that we won't have to hear that again as long as Hillary's in charge and still has a bone to pick about Whitewater.

I had a discussion with a coworker and my boss today after lunch about the courts and how difficult it would be to be a judge, and somehow it got twisted into 2nd amendment chat. I proceeded to have the triple joy experience of ending up on the opposite (liberal) side of the conversation alone, hearing my coworker advocate that Joe Shmoe and his friends should have access to military grade hardware (all the way up to aircraft carriers), and then having him admit that he is literally afraid for his life waiting for the bus outside our office because he doesn't have a gun strapped to his side.  I know discussing politics at work is usually a bad idea, but the conversation shifted so quickly I didn't have time to get out of it.Pray for my liver thread.

I think trump is going to run try to run third party no matter how they gently caress him. earlier i would have said he step aside if cruz got the nomination over him but after cruz's recent judas speech and attacks on trump, he is done too. I think he is in it til the end.

The thing is that the longer Trump waits, the harder it is for him to run third party. If he gets screwed at the convention, he will already have lost ballot access in a lot of states.

If Trump does indeed lose ballot access due to waiting to long to run 3rd party, might a Trump write-in campaign still be potent enough to derail the GOP's chances?

Yes, true, which shows how extreme a lot of Republicans have become compared to the other groups. And the 22% uncertain worries me.

I just realized that a trump nomination might be good for general election chances, but also means we'll have to listen to this guy for another 11 months. Not sure it's worth it anymore.
