GOP refuses to nominate Trump, what's next

[zephid]

I doubt they would refuse to nominate him if he wins. But if we are talking about hypothetical scenarios that will ever really happen in real life, I guess there will be a massive uproar among the republican voters who in protest would vote for Trump when he runs as an independent.

Even if he is nominated, he will still lose.

We all lose the longer he is around.

Um... semantics here, but. If you want us to wake you up when the economy goes to hell... You aren't doing anything outside of sleeping.

There is an oddness that anyone would be excited to watch political news. More power to you if you can find a way to do it.

I admit defeat here.

There is no legal recourse... It's their party, they can do what they like... The primaries can have Trump win, but GOP will nominate turd sandwich. Primaries have no legal binding...

Okay so they fracture into a bunch of small groups that ultimately end up voting for the same candidate and against Democrats same as always, woopty-doo.

Just a heads up - you aren't answering the right question, at all. Reread the OP and try again, lol.

If the GOP doesn't realize that 65% of their voters preferring people they don't like is a message to the GOP, than they are hopeless.

I actually think Cruz is going to win the nomination in a closely contested race and that Trump pushing delegates his way might be what pushes it over the top. Then, like Reagan did in '80, he'll use the VP spot to make a "party unity" pick, someone the establishment is much more fond of, probably someone with governorship in the resume, like Christie, probably not but maybe Jeb!, or possibly Scott Walker back in the mix (there was a story Cruz is helping him retire campaign debt already).

I think you're on to something. Although, I also think Cruz will fade in the next month and Rubio, who is far less insane, will pull ahead. Then pick Kasich from Ohio for your "party unity" reasons.
