    A majority of Republican and Republican-leaning voters believe the party should unite behind Donald Trump at a contested convention, according to a national Monmouth University poll released Wednesday.

    The New York billionaire won another 58 delegates Tuesday with a decisive victory in Arizona, putting him within 500 delegates of securing the GOP nomination outright. But should Trump fail to accrue the necessary 1,237 delegates, 54 percent of those polled said the party should back Trump for the nomination anyway. More than a third said the delegates should nominate another person, and 7 percent were unsure.


    Seems like it's time.

    Well, as long as you're okay with picking the only candidate who loses badly to Clinton and Sanders, and most likely will lose in the fall, in addition to alienating all the minority groups one needs to possibly chance winning the presidency, as long as you're good with all that, unite beyond Trump.

    The GOP's Catch-22 appears to be that anyone who can win their presidential nomination is eminently qualified to lose the presidential election.

    That will not prevent rabid Trumphumps from still enjoying their "reality POTUS" of course.

    It'll be sort of a "West Wing" directed by Quentin Tarantino.

    Cool.

    Yeah. There second place candidate is Ted Cruz. I haven't met anyone yet who likes Cruz or who would admit to wanting to vote for him.

    Even Republicans who are now endorsing the foreign guy hate him.

    An insightful comment on the reality tv celebrity.

    Wow a post that doesn't make a comment about the whiteness of the GOP.

    Perhaps because our foreign guy is Hispanic? I like Ted Cruz but am willing
    to back Trump. Why not? As long as we can deport all those illegal Canadians
    and Europeans. Oh, and all those jihadist's, rapists and murderers, and some
    I'm sure are nice people.

    Lol, these threads are fun, the democrats are truly scared sh*tless of Trump. All this endless "Trump can't win in November" concern trolling by Hillary/Sanders supporters is nothing else buy them begging the Republicans to nominate anyone else except Trump.

    Come on folks, stop worrying and love the Donald :D

    Don't be so self-conscious of the party's racial homogeneity.

    It may be a terminal diagnosis, but you're sounding like a Republican senator:

    Ain't it funny that you think that an anti-white statement by a white GOP senator
    reflects badly on the GOP? I have no doubt that this year will be the first year
    that we see the enslaved blacks and Hispanics free themselves from the yoke of
    the democratic party and begin drifting towards the party that embraces people
    based on their character and their desire for freedom, not the color of their skin.

    The Democrats ridiculed Palin and rightly so, the Democrats are scared sh*tless of Trump and in just about every thread literally beg the republicans not to nominate him. Of course these Trump haters claim they are merely concerned that Trump is not electable LOL :D

    Oh not this sh*t again :( Polls mean zilch 8 months before the election. Reagan and B. Clinton and hundreds of others were way behind the opponents at this stage of the campaign and went on to win. When Trump does to Hillary what he's done to Bush and Rubio and others, then let's look at the polls.

    The democrats' incessant bleating that the republicans should nominate someone else but Trump "because he is not electable" is quite telling though. It's called concern trolling and it always betrays fear.

    Well, at the end of the day, you'll be feeling very similar to the way you felt on the last two presidential election nights again on Nov. 8th of this year. I have no doubt you'll be in denial just like you were then again right up until election night. lol

    Actually I sat out both elections, could not vote for either of those. Before that I voted for Gore and Clinton.

    That said, Trump has defied the expectations, predictions and prophecies of professionals - people far smarter, more experienced and better connected than you and I will ever be. All these naysayers have egg all over their faces. Guess what, you with your predictions are next. I hope you like eggs ;)

    if you can't understand why we've always wished the hate party would present themselves better in any and all matters then trying to discuss with you is just more futility. your bunch always try to out do each other in getting straight to the bottom and fight like hell to then get below the cess barrel. you could have taken all past elections if they'd have just toned it down and had actual policies and plans. after each loss they assess and then decide they need to be even stupider with the nasty crap. we'll take it, thanx!

    I actually don't disagree with you, except it applies to both parties. The democratic party is just as useless, disgusting, corrupt, self-serving and indifferent to the interests of the american people.

    That's why I support Trump. You keep supporting your corrupt corporate wh*re, bought and fully owned by Wall Street, donors, lobbyists... Well done!

    I'll certainly vote for Hil in a pinch but you see my sig, she's not my whore, to say the never right are equal to the Dems is absurd other than they both suck. after that one will rot in hell while the other deserves a good ass whoopin, not quite the same.

    Sure she is not your whore. In 25 years of public service she's done zilch for you, or me or anyone else in the US... And she won't. She is Wall Street's whore, she is Insurance Industry's, she is every donor's and lobbyist's whore, she works for them and she counts on gullible partisan hacks who can't see the forest for the trees to vote for her because of the "D" next to her name.

    The concern trolling mainly comes from the establishment wing of the Republican Party, not the Democrats. Like the infamous autopsy of the RNC after Mitt lost.

    "...lead the party to victory with an extensive outreach to women, African-American, Asian, Hispanic and gay voters...backing comprehensive immigration reform...Our standard should not be universal purity, it should be a more welcoming form of conservatism"

    All this, of course, written by your favorite Republicans.

    You may think his mentioning race is not PC, but I recognize that his concern for the future of his party demands that he honestly address its lack of diversity.
