    Default Trump Needs to Stop

    He's dividing the GOP. It's the last thing anyone needs.

    I am all for the GOP nominating either Trump or Ted Cruz. Since neither has a chance in hell of winning the general election. Plus the fallout would greatly damage GOP candidates in down ballot races.

    I'm all for anyone that kicks you dumbass, unconstitutional dems out of our government. How desperate are you? The same old empty promises ain't working so you deflect from your front runner being a criminal bringing up George Bush? I don't know what's more pathetic ... the people purposefully doing it, or the dumbasses that believe it and can be distracted from the truth.

    Far as I'm concerned you take the whole lot you Dems and you can live in Iraq where all those people you feel sorry for are. And was I the crew chief on that C-141? The ramp would "accidentally" open halfway across the ocean. You people don't belong in this country.

    A lot of us do. We hold our noses and vote Republican just to keep Dems out. Problem is, when you've you've got someone like Trump spending all his time attacking other Republicans instead of focusing on attacking the people and policies of the Dems, you just end up with division. It's like let's try the same old thing that doesn't work hoping for a different result.

    The only one has actually gone after Hillary is Carly. Trump has attacked anyone on the right that has questioned him. Now he's dragging up Bush and 9/11 saying he could have done better? Odd, he lives in New York. I don't recall hearing about him doing or saying a thing.

    I understand the trap. Want to see bipartisanship in this country? Let a third party try to get in. These career bureaucrats will close ranks and shut it out so fast it's not even funny. That leaves us choosing between the lesser of two evils. I prefer the Republicans not doing anything over the Democrats dismantling our Constitution.

    Trump is not a conservative and he's just pulling a Ross Perot Jr. The conservative base was in bad enough shape before he decided he was a Republican.

    To break the 2 party system in the states then there needs to be 4 parties. 2 on the right and 2 on the left.

    Not going to happen. Guess who is in charge of campaign funding ... the two parties in power. I really don't care about how many parties there are. I want them to do what they are elected to do. Same with our judiciary that reads retarded crap that isn't there into the law. All politicians suck. That's the only reason Trump, Carson and Fiorina have any appeal.

    The GOP has killed itself but it's at the cost of OUR Rights. They should have told Trump to take a hike from the start.

    I'm aware of what the polls say. Was the same with Perot. We got 8 years of Clinton out of that deal. Not looking forward to repeating history. Trump can't and won't win. A hot air balloon has more substance.

    No no. Trump would have stopped those planes dead in their tracks. It would have been HUUUUUUGE.

    I would compare him to Perot if he chose to run 3rd party. I don't see him doing so. I agree that a 3rd party run from any of the major candidates can only do harm, not help. But at this point he IS winning. And if he loses the nomination, that means someone else stood up to the plate with a better message, and drew more supporters as a result - and I'm cool with that. If that's Carson, Cruz, Fiorina or even Bush - I'd stand behind that person. I'd even get behind a hot air balloon if the alternative in office is Hillary.

    Part of me feels if more candidates drop out, trump would no longer be in first place. Question I have is if Carson drops out, where would his support go?

    The fact that republican voters haven't the sense to stop him is incredible.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
