mistertim Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 wouldn't it be interesting if after all this talk of super delegates if they didn't come into play at all, but that the Republican Party overturned the will of their party to nominate someone other than the majority vote getter? That seems to be the plan of Rubio and Cruz. Some of them even are bold enough to say that all they need to do is make sure no candidate crosses the finish line and then if they can come in 2nd or third they can be crowned. The far right would be apoplectic. Most of Trump's supporters would likely do one of two things: 1) Stay home on election day. 2) Vote for Hillary in protest. Seriously, they hate Rubio almost as much as they hate Hillary. Their anger would be monumental and I guarantee a ton of them would vote for Hillary as a statement.

s0crates Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wow this "Trump won't disavow then KKK" stuff is getting a ton of press. I'd say this is a disaster for him and he needs to do some damage control, but these things always seem to increase his poll numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, of Cuban descent, suggested on “Fox News Sunday” that a hate group supporting the front-running Trump was making recorded calls – known as “robo-calls” -- telling potential voters not to pick a Cuban candidate. Cruz tweeted: "Really sad. @realDonaldTrump you're better than this. We should all agree, racism is wrong, KKK is abhorrent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL this is unfolding just as I predicted. Check out the places with the biggest love fests for Trump. Free Republic, Breitbart, etc. They absolutely can't stand Rubio. To them he is just a typical "RINO" and not really much better (if at all) than Hillary. They would go ape**** if someone forced a brokered convention and pushed Trump out.

To them he is just a typical "RINO" and not really much better (if at all) than Hillary. They would go ape**** if someone forced a brokered convention and pushed Trump out. It's funny. The biggest thing that Rubio had going for him was charisma. He was well spoken, seemed compassionate, intelligent, and a strong conservative. The knocks against him are that he had no accomplishments, was AWOL on votes, and was iffy when it came to immigration. Somehow, probably because of Christie, he became entirely undone. He's no longer a great speaker. He's no longer compassionate. He's no longer a great debater. In fact, his attempts at insulting Trump sound like they came out of a second grade recess argument. He's the GOP establishments last chance except the GOP doesn't really like him. I guess they'll rally around Kasich next before declaring they were always all in behind Trump.

I don't know. He really seemed to dislike the Senate. If he can't beat Trump, he might enjoy being out of politics for a while and spending more time with his family. He does seem competitive though, so I bet he'll be back in a few years if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right. Would need to be more active, but not a ton more. The rep about him being lazy and absent from him current well-paid job might be unfair. But perception has become reality.
