The back door methods Cruz needs to invoke to challenge Trump at the GOP Convention will ensure the Democrats hold the White House for at least another 8 years. He has made himself unelectable and if he had any integrity at all he would bow out and support Trump instead of continuing to divide the Party. Without unity the Republicans don't stand a chance much like when the Dems had the edge on Bush they blew the election because they wouldn't unite. If Trump is a failure the Republicans can challenge him in four years and still save face with the American public. As it stands now, I would rather not vote than to cast support to Cruz.

Leo I think the crux of the problem is the career part of 'career politician'. In a more perfect world we would go back to the days where participating in government was something you did in addition to your real world job. Instead politicians have become modern Pharisees with the sausage-making of politics their entire raison d'etre. We need to go back to all politics being done in about a 90 day span, and if if it can't be done therein it's not that important - then everybody returns to their real jobs unless and until some extraordinary crisis requiring the intervention of congress or the next scheduled legislative session. DC should be like some amusement park that's only open in the summer (except for the memorials and museums)
I wish I could say the same. It's looking like the entire ballot will be repugnant to me.
+1 big factor
I agree that a part time legislature of people holding actual jobs would go a long way to fixing the broken DC centric system.
If Trump is winning and probably will win, what benefit do you see coming from Trump being denied the nomination at the convention? Go ahead and vote for Cruz if you wish. He'll just lose to Hillary.

Ted has been caught bribing delegates already, I don't think he cares about the rules.
If Trump gets to the convention with more than half the delegates, he wins. If he doesnt', it means more than half the delegates are not for him. So they vote again until somebody wins. Might be Trump, might not. Since Cruz is the only conservative and only Republican among the four remaining candidates who have a chance to be president, we'd be much better off with him.

Trump is neither a conservative nor a republican. I see every benefit for him being denied the nomination, he should never have been allowed to run as the candidate of a party he has never identified with. Go ahead and vote for Trump if you wish, He'll just lose to Hitlery.

What back door methods?
What do you mean probably win? You mean having the most delegates, or the majority of delegates? And as for losing to Hillary, I'd say that goes for both. But with a lesser chance with Cruz.
Cite please. Also from what I understand there is no rule against bribing delegates, and Trump's campaign manager refused to rule out them doing so.
I'm guessing that said friendship already is pretty well publicized; I read an article about it this morning in that bastion of conservative journalism, the New York Times.
Wouldn't be the first time Indiana voted for a Democrat in the last 8 years.

No freakin' way is Indiana voting Hillary over Trump.

Kasich bailed on Indiana.
I feel all special and fuzzy inside.
I honestly think he was the only R to have a hope of winning in November.
