If Trump continuous to hold the top spot in the polls going into the GOP Convention.

What will the GOP do?

IMO the GOP has to go "all in" with Trump or the party will be divided. Any other opition?




Note: Belly35 has not desided on any canidate as of now. I have five favorites

Let the religious end of the party die and embrace a more moderate approach. The GOP's problem is its stance on social issues is ass backwards because of religion and that turns off a lot of people. If Trump is the best GOP can do, they will never win anything at the executive level.

The GOP is in a real quandary here. I don't think they will let Trump have the nomination because he doesn't play ball. What will they do when he is still leading? He goes Independent and that splits the GOP, allowing the Dems. to walk away with it.

What if we have 4 people running for president:

Dems- HC
Pubs- any of the top guys
2 independents- Bernie and Donald

^^^^ It would be great for America, but not so great for the Electoral College!

I agree because if it got thrown to the House because of no electoral majority, that is how it would end up.
