#1 They’ll be able to blame the loss on conservatives and conservatism and be done -- once and for all -- with conservatism in the party.

Cause conservatives have held their nose for two decades voting for the establishment's nominee. That's how much respect you got in return.

#2 They would rather lose the presidency than lose their power. This is what the rot has done. The GOP is dead, it just hasnt stopped moving yet.

#3 Yet if Trump wins they'll probably continue along with the crony capitalism that has made them all rich. So you have to wonder why they oppose the Donald so strongly, perhaps they fear they'll stop being invited to the real dirty parties the Democrats throw..

#4 They oppose the Donald because he might actually win the General. I'm not saying that Ted wouldn't but the Don has a greater chance simply by name recognition and the Establishment has been dragging Ted's name thru the muck for years simply because he is a true conservative (unlike Trump).
If the establishment can't get it's 'man' in there (Jeb for example) then they would rather have Hillary (or even Bernie) as long as the gravy train keeps running on time.

#5 My point is, I suspect Trump would continue the gravy train as far as Congress is concerned.

#6 Or, as Mrs. Bobby says, "I'm more afraid of Cruz than Trump because I'm afraid Cruz really means what he says!"

How refreshing!

#7 Time for a third party. Pull the conservatives from both parties. I think moderates from both side would join to crush the extreme leaders of both parties

#8 If you can't get them one way, get them another. Vote for Bernie.

#9 I saw a headline that predicts Bernie supporters will vote for Trump because they think that Hillary is crooked.

#11 ..and most likely so is Trump at sometime or someplace, but as the GOPe chimes, he did it "by the rules", otherwise an 'outsider' like him would have already been nailed.

#12 Trumps negatives are sky high, and that's before the dominant progressive media starts its dirt dump and hatchet jobs on him. Trump is dead meat, anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.

The thing is he might still win, because: What happens if Hillary locks up the Dem nomination and sails thru a very divisive convention, and by some miracle, gets indicted? Does whoever her VP is become the nominee on the ballot? Elizabeth Warren perhaps.

Then again, in that scenario, Cruz could win too - and unlike Trump he would truly wreak havoc upon the beltway leeches and power brokers who hate him so much for that very reason. He actually believes in smaller government and Constitutionalism.

Whats the likelihood of the government being force to act against Hillary? The Obama corrupt justice department sure isnt going to do it on its own. Congress does a Special Prosecutor?

#13 If Hillary gets indicted, it's because O slipped the dogs. I've not seen any polling on Donald v. Michelle.
