GOP Convention; Your thoughts?

So what should we do if Trump does not have all the delegates needed when the convention comes around. I do have to say that I admire Ryan for saying that it should be someone who ran this year.

I think the bottom line is that if Trump has a clear, major lead over Cruz then we have to go with him. I am not a fan of his but the consequences are to tell the people that their vote does not matter. That might have worked back before the internet but I think it would destroy the party today.

Now, if Cruz and he are within a few delegates of each other that might be a different question. Then I ask myself, is Cruz really a better candidate that Trump against Clinton?

So he's got the loud mouth demographic...those are easy to sway...tell them brown people are here for their jobs and ISIS is infiltrating America to slay their women and children, and voila, you've got a ton of aspiring low-info voters who'll agree with him. What I find so funny coming from some of the "conservatives" on here and elsewhere is strangely absent...because he's not going to govern from the far right, he's pro-big business, pro-choice, and what I find even funnier then that...he's a close personal fan and contributor to the Clinton's various political warchests both hubby and spouse for over 20 years.

My only hope...is that if he does win the primary, he'll allow his handlers to tell him to keep his mouth shut.

He will build a wall and it's the only thing that counts. If he simply had the wall built and then resigned just one year into the job then he would be the greatest President since James K Polk.

It's likely that he may take on a few of his opponents in the primary. In my opinion, Cruz should drop out and Trump should make him VP. Cruz could probably get into his ear and help him be more politician-like.

But one of the things I like about him is he is not politician-like. We need that wall as AI pointed out. That's my biggest concern.

Second on his list is ensure that all progressives who have stated that they will leave the country if Trump is elected are required to honor their word. If he does that, he'll surpass Washington and Jefferson.

Yeah.....don't count on that wall, (1) His statement about making Mexico pay for it got laughed at by the Mexican President....(2) If you want stop Latin Americans from coming here, you have to be willing to fine, and jail all those white ranchers and farmers all up along the border with Mexico, all 2000 miles of it that use illegal employees. (3) He'd have to crash the Federal Budget for years to build a 2000 mile long fence, one that can be circumvented by air or sea. Then who would you pay to man such a wall....You'd have to destroy Posse Committatus in order to deploy the US military, and most Republicans who would elect Trump want smaller government and slashed taxes, just what do you think is going to be paying for all that? Hadrian's Wall was only 60 miles and employed entire Legions to build it and guard it. Our border with Mexico is 2000...you'd have to employ entire regiments of the US Military to guard it.

If we have trillions to throw away on pointless middle eastern war- then we can afford a wall on the border with Mexico.

If we can secure the border with N Korea then why can't we secure the border with Mexico?

The Mexican government won't be laughing when the money transfers the illegals send back to Mexico gets taxed to shreads.

That's one way that Mexico will be paying for the wall, by stopping the flow of american dollars into Mexico via illegals.

You do know it's not we who control that border right?...It's the South Korean military, there is at best a mimimal US military presence in SK, around 38,000, mostly logistical. It's also controlled by a vast minefield to prevent the initial concept of the Chinese pouring over the border again. The border with NK/SK is nowhere near as long or complicated as the Mexican border is. The US/Mexican border cuts thru at least half a dozen Tribes who would not take kindly to a Federal presence on their lands.

It's a huge apples to small oranges comparison

I'll accept a minefield in lieu of a wall. I am curious Tsal, do you believe that after cutting off federal funds to sanctuary cities, quickening the pace of deportations, spending $100 b to build the wall- that his supporters will turn on him if he can't get Mexico to pay for it?

Not one red cent will get cut...this is what I call the low-information voter at work..none of what you suggest is going to come to pass. If Trump gets to the Oval Office, I would like to think that his Establishment handlers would tell him to shut up, enjoy being President for a term, and let them carry on with the work of government.

The Mexican President already called Trump an ignorant ass for making such a comment at any rate.
