We all know you have been told to support Kasich, Ryan or Romney and no decision has been made on if you'll be allowed to support Trump.

Rafael the Canadian you will be allowed to support if he can steal the nomination.

It's tricky right now in the GOP, I understand.

The Republicans are stuck on the horns of a dilemma.

They are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

Right now Trump is leading the field by about 274 delegates.

And that lead is just going to grow.

By the time the convention rolls around Trump will be ahead by at least 400 delegates. That's even if he doesn't reach the magic 1,237 number, which he probably will.

So yeah, the Republicans can nominate whomever they want at the convention, but if they fuck Trump out of the nomination they are fucked. And if they go ahead and nominate him, they are fucked.

Oh? You say maybe Trump will go on the win the general election?

Guess what?

The Republicans will still be fucked.

I'm lovin every minute of this Whelly.

It could not be happening to a more deserving bunch of assholes.

If Trump gets in it will be more than the 'Pubs that get fucked.

The Republican Convention should just adjourn rather than nominate Trump, if it comes to that.

Remember all the outrage from the Wing Nuts over Teresa Hines Kerry not being a genuine Merkin? Strange that those same assholes are totally down with Melania Drumpf as a possible First Lady.

It'll come to that. There is no realistic possibility that Trumpler will arrive at the convention with a huge delegate lead if not an outright majority. The choice will be between Trump as nominee and Trump as leader of a riotous insurgency.

Worst Republican is better than any Democrat school of thought?
Care to speculate on the GOP convention when Trump is leader in delegates or are you an adherent of the 11th Commandment?

Yeah, but the Republicans will get the worst of it.

It will be like giving your dog Strychnine for his heart worms.

The dog will get sick, but the worms will die.

It's like attacking the poster not the comment to win a point.

Nothing is learned nor shared.
Well said.
