Best pray very hard that the write-ins work. Trump has it in the bag, and no one will take it from him. It's either Hillary or Trump. Write-in Cruz, and you just inaugurated the enemy, Hillary. Vote Trump...lesser of two evils.

Trump and Clinton are the enemy, they are cut from the same cloth.

Why would anyone vote for a liberal?  Are you a liberal?

Yes he is, he just refuses to recognize his malady/brain damage/stupidity for what it is, liberalism. He thinks that backing a lib with an (R) next to his name, absolves his dumb ass for backing the Marxist.

QuoteWrite O'Keefe and Rivkin:

Recent weeks have not been kind to the Grand Old Party. Republicans have been embarrassed by Donald Trump 's racist attacks on Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over a fraud lawsuit against Trump University. They have watched him assault popular GOP leaders like Speaker Paul Ryan and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. Many among the party faithful are realizing that Mr. Trump may flame out before Election Day—and that he could bring the party's slate of candidates down with him.

Yet conventional wisdom remains that Mr. Trump's nomination is inevitable. The theory is twofold: First, his primary victories give him enough delegates to prevail on the first ballot at the Republican convention in July. Second, those delegates are bound to vote for Mr. Trump by state laws and GOP rules.

Not so fast. Although 20 states have passed laws that purport to bind delegates, these statutes can't be legally enforced. When Republican delegates arrive in Cleveland to select their party's nominee, they should recognize that they are bound only by their consciences.

The problem? Some 13.2 million Republican voters, with, depending on various state primary rules, an assist from Democrats and Independents, have looked over the field of 17 GOP candidates and decided exactly in whom they have confidence: Donald Trump.

In these days... I'm glad I'm not a delegate... or GOPe party member.  THEY have a real problem, I don't.

QuoteIn the aftermath of the horrific events in Orlando, it is very sad to say that Trump's support among his voters—and even now, some horrified liberals who are gay—has intensified.  It amazes that there is no realization by #NeverTrumpers that stripping Trump of his nomination would inflict massive down-ballot casualties on GOP candidates for the Senate, House, governorships and any one further down the ballot. To identify the GOP as a party in which party (and media) elites deliberately overrule their own voters when the results aren't to the liking of some would set loose the wrath of all those Trump voters, roaming free to target every single Republican on any ballot anywhere in an act of political retaliation so massive as to boggle the mind. Particularly in the wake of Orlando and the realization of the massive fail that has been the Obama-Clinton national security policies, this is no moment to fill the nation's convention-televising with images of a handful of folks trying to overturn the majority's decision. 

Again - not MY problem, the GOPe let him in, now they can figure out what to do with him.
This reminds me of the guy who keeps losing & betting, "Double or Nothing?"

They demonized Ted Cruz and got Donald Trump - they got him, I didn't.  And have they noticed, Donald is still chasing the Bernie Sanders vote & ignoring the GOP base?   Don't blame me when Trump loses, he's an outsider to the GOP, and insider to the DEMs.

Couldn't agree more! The Establishment deserves this headache they created. Sure we could have had a 2nd Reagan, but noooo, they'd rather take their chances with a liberal.
Screw em, I'll write in Cruz, I will not be responsible for what the party created.

And that is just mind-boggling.  The GOPe is so drunk with power, and keeping political power, they'll take a political enemy over a saint.

Well, I'm still hoping that a rule change will make it possible for Sen. Cruz to have a delegate-driven coup and replace Donald Trump as the nominee. 'Not likely I grant (owing to the entrenched hatred for Cruz by the GOP Establishment) but I like to dream about it.

God, did anyone hear Sen. Cruz talking about the terrorist attack in Orlando yesterday? My goodness, compared to the other candidates, he sounds like the only sane adult in the conversation. It was awe-inspiring how great a speaker he is.

To think, people thought I was nuts, a traitor, by stating before anyone else that I'd never support Trump, that the only option regardless was to write in Cruz, (See OP) but now it seems that even party heads are refusing to support trump, while others support Hillary?
How sad is it when your own party votes for the enemy and refuses to support the only Constitutional Conservative running.
No doubt I made the Right call, it also looks like Cruz still has a shot at the WH, at least far better than the NY LIB.

To the casual reader, let this be evidence that the GOP has become the enemy of the people.

Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Thursday became the third high-ranking Republican in the last week to say that he was voting for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in November.
"To my Republican friends: I know I'm not alone."
Clinton received vote pledges from Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser to Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush, and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who served under Bush 43.

Paulson, now chairman of the Paulson Institute think tank in Chicago, called Trump's candidacy "a populist hijacking of one of the United States' great political parties.

"The GOP, in putting Trump at the top of the ticket, is endorsing a brand of populism rooted in ignorance, prejudice, fear and isolationism," he added. "This troubles me deeply as a Republican, but it troubles me even more as an American.

"Enough is enough. It's time to put country before party and say it together: Never Trump."

Paulson, who plans to support down-ballot Republicans in state and congressional races, slammed Trump's business acumen. He cited the developer's bankruptcies and the continued questions surrounding Trump's wealth.
"The tactics he has used in running his business wouldn't work in running a truly successful company, let alone the most powerful nation on Earth," he said. "Every good businessman or -woman carefully analyzes all the available facts before making a decision.

"Trump repeatedly, blatantly and knowingly makes up or gravely distorts facts to support his positions or create populist divisions.

"Simply put, a Trump presidency is unthinkable," Paulson said, later adding that "when it comes to the presidency, I will not vote for Donald Trump."
