Trump is running for President, not Captain of the Republican Party, which JSO doesn't belong to, supposedly.

I'm a registered "Unaffiliated" and my Presidential vote won't matter. Hillary will win Maryland, even if its a write in vote count.

I have no fight in this game, I'm just observing.

PA's actually in play this year as long as it's not Cruz. Trump or Kasich could make it interesting against Hillary.

Actually, I'm interested to see how well Kasich will do against Trump in the PA primary.

Assuming he's on the ballot. A Rubio supporter challenged the signatures on the petition and the Kasich camp admitted that something like 300 signatures were invalid. That would bring him under the 2k signatures needed to be on the ballot. Thing is, the challenge came at 5:13PM on the day challenges had to be in - question is whether 5PM constitutes the end of the day or, in this age of electronics, does 11:59PM be the end of the day. Not sure if the Rubio supporter can even withdraw the protest now that the Kasich camp fessed up.

I agree, though, it would be interesting. Doesn't happen until late April so tons of time between now and then. Cruz will continue his poor showing in states where the majority of counties have literacy rates in the double digits so he won't be more than a blip. PA's a lot like Ohio, obviously, except that Kasich isn't the sitting governor here.

As you see, I edited my post, but I wasn't quick enough.

To your point, there has been a fairly heavy evangelical support for "Two Corinthians" Trump, notwithstanding his Biblical illiteracy. :coffee:

Unofficially, sure. Sometimes there are Presidents that are very closely tied to the party and exert great control, sometimes there are Presidents that are almost outsiders relative to their party's establishment. We've run the gamut before.

Obama is a good example of a President who does not have a strong lead on his own party. You could see that early on when he had difficulty dealing with Reid and Pelosi (who I'm sure they thought they were the head of the part). The fact that you don't really see a successor to Obama come from his camp (the candidates from the Dems today almost seem to be running against some of what Obama has done) speaks volumes about that. Clinton in the 90's was the opposite, what he wanted the party did for him, and when it was time for him to hand the keys off to the White House, there was no doubt that Clinton's man, Gore, would get the nomination.

Isn't that what needs to be done to defeat the 42% Dem's that will blindly vote for whomever wins the Democrat(Hillary) nomination?

Don't the Republicans need those tweener's?

Those tweeners that are coming out to vote for Trump aren't going to vote for some stiff the GOP marches out if he doesn't get the nomination. And if that stiff is Cruz, highly doubtful, none for the primary voters are going to blindly vote for whoever they put out.

The GOP is **** itself no matter what happens if Trump doesn't get the 1237.
My disdain for Trump is not an "as a Republican" disdain. I'm not a Republican. I'm just saying that when you look at actual Republicans who are Republican because they believe in the principles of that party I do not think the majority of them support the idea of Trump being the nominee.

I think that a lot of the people who are voting for Trump are not Republicans per se. They are voting in Republican primaries because they want to vote for Donald Trump.

I think the GOP is screwed regardless. If Trump does not get the nomination the Trumpites wont' vote for the nominee. If Trump does get the nomination a lot of people who have traditionally voted Republican won't vote for Trump.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to the Republican Party in many years.

He did do that. If you've been buying the Trump crap you need to wake up. Look, I've heard Trump supporters complain about being called stupid. Maybe some of them aren't IQ wise. But if you do something stupid there's a good chance people are going to call you stupid. And supporting Donald Trump is stupid.

So why aren't you Republicans getting off your butts and voting against him!?
I am not a Republican. I am registered as a Libertarian. Louisiana does not have an open primary. So I couldn't vote in the Republican primary.

Otherwise: The majority of Republicans HAVE been voting against him. As you've heard many times the problem is that Trump has this mass of zombie voters that represents around a third of Republican primary voters while the anti Trump vote is split among a number of candidates. You're talking about a situation in which Trump could win the nomination when he's received something like 38% of the primary vote.

The other thing is that a lot of the people who have been voting for Trump in Republican primaries are NOT Republicans. When there have been closed primaries they may have switched their Party affiliation to Republican so that they could vote for Trump. But they're not really Republicans. In open primaries they didn't have to do that.

Yeah, just like you call yourself an agnostic because you're too embarrassed to admit to being a fundamentalist christian. :coffee:

You don't have the courage of your convictions John; you come on here and whimper about what Trump is doing to the party you don't even belong to. Your wife tells you what you think and your kid feigns autism to avoid having to respond to your incessant bed-wetting about Trump.
