The first part is accurate. The second is hyperbole. Do you know what that means?

This may be true, yet he would still be better than the totally incompetent jackass in the WH now and most of the other jackasses in control in DC today. He/they doubled our debt in 8 years; he/they sold out American workers; he/they did not reform entitlements; he/they allowed millions of illegals and criminals carte blanche entry into this country; and he destroyed health insurance and he has allowed federal agencies to run completely roughshod over The People.

So when I hear some on this site ostracizing 'smart people' for supporting Trump; I just simply have to laugh. It seems to me that dump people would support the status quo --- no? And smart people might say enough is enough; let's go a different route and maybe something will actually change for the good; maybe trashing the establishment in DC will be positive long-term.

I am fairly smart, and I at least know what ain't working.

I'm for change but I don't see how Trump is the answer. He basically just gets on stage and goes "Trust me, I'm rich" which is complete joke at best.

You don't change for the sake of change on a maybe. You change if it is going to make it better, otherwise you could be in an even worse fix. We've had 8 years of gridlock and bickering....When I see Trump and all the negatives that he embodies, I don't see how that is going to make things better. We've spent 8 years fighting Obamacare....and Trump wants to take it a step further to a single payer.. If you are a conservative and a Republican, electing Trump is electing the enemy.

I don't like some of things he says either. I wish there was a much better option. But I know for FACT that Clinton or Sanders would be 10 times worse; it would probably push us over the edge completely.

I've never been one to espouse change for the sake of change. But I know damn well that we cannot afford Clinton or Sanders pushing the socialist agenda further and pushing us completely off the cliff. At least with Trump we would have a guy who would sign legislation coming out of a semi-conservative House, so how bad can that be? With the other two, we get obama 3.0 and on and on and on ....We have no fighting chance with them; we do with Trump, albeit obviously not my favorite.

Only if a candidate wins a majority. In a contested convention they can be persuaded to vote as they will.

Yes after the first round. If its contested the first round is nothing more than a formality.

Good news as I believe this almost guarantees a contested convention. Good for Rubio dropping out, he just had no chance. Kasich should bow out as well, but it will be interesting to see where rubios votes go. I'd assume Cruz.

Cruz might be worse than Trump. They both say crazy shit, but Trump says it for shock value. Cruz actually believes the shit coming out of his mouth.

Such as? At this point it is the lesser of all evils. I'll never vote left, so that leaves these schmucks. Trump is not presidential material, and besides being anti-establishment has nothing going for him.

I know, how crazy is it to say you are going to repeal obamacare, stand with the police and the military, and defend the constitution. That really is batshit crazy.

A president can't repeal anything. Most but certainly not all police nor military justify standing behind. Defending the constitution is a good thing, if you don't attempt to ignore settled law.
