Don't worry about how it would come to be

Depends on the circumstances. I do not want him to be the nominee, however I don't think putting someone else in because of a brokered convention - pmb Mar 23, 11:57

(apologies to the non-liberals, I am interesting in your feelings of course, but I am curious how our liberals views this) - ty97 Mar 23, 11:06
Not a liberal: 1 - Will Hunting Mar 23, 11:05
1, for the same reasons I abhor the Le Pens in France. - Marlowe Mar 23, 11:05
10 if it caused a self-realization of how it came to be -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 11:04 2

  - stop puncturing my dream with reality! -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 11:06
1....at first I thought he would be the perfect foil for hillary to parry, but geez every thing that would kill a mortal candidate only makes him -- nm - stronger Mar 23, 11:04 2
- Except he has a completely different, and much less receptive, audience in the general election. -- nm - znufrii Mar 23, 11:08
- This is the same thing that worries me. What would he say in a debate to Hillary about women that he would be bulletproof against -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 11:05
I agree with Pixie, therefore I'm starting the Draft Bush 41 party :( -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 23, 11:04
5. I think Cruz is an easier beat, but I hold out faith in humanity that Trump is unelectable as well. -- nm - volnelk Mar 23, 11:03
1 - znufrii Mar 23, 11:02
pure self-interest, Cruz would be an 11. Trump is an 8 or 9 -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 23, 11:02 12
- Cruz tangent - ty97 Mar 23, 11:03 11
  - RE: his likability. Funny story from the Bill Simmons podcast about politics - volnelk Mar 23, 11:06
  - Trump is more easy to cast as a moderate, IMO. "I'm a deal-maker, I make deals, etc" -- nm - Roger More Mar 23, 11:06 1
    - Yeah, if Trump is elected I full expect him to flip on every issue he's stood on so far. -- nm - Max Mar 23, 11:09
  - he would be right-wing Mondale -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 23, 11:05 6
    - If Cruz was the nominee, I think Texas might be really close actually. -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 11:06 5
      - Erm,he's won TX already. Repeatedly. - ty97 Mar 23, 11:07 4
        
        I stand by my comments. -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 11:10 2
        
        I lived in TX, but I appreciate you having more optimism in the voters there :) -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 11:12 1
        
        the two of you made my day the other day saying Utah could possibly be in play -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 11:20
        
        cause we are vastly stupid about a lot of things - Cruz is numero uno case in point -- (edited) - Epiphany Mar 23, 11:08
  - Cruz is the most unelectable candidate in the race. -- nm - MDH Mar 23, 11:04
