Dems are already attacking GOP officeholders, like John McCain, for pledging to support the nominee, especially if it's Donald Trump.

One report making the rounds is that Donald Trump sees his hardline anti-immigrant stand as a bargaining chip https://t.co/D0pSKfS3Ir

The media are holding back their anti-Trump stories until after he clinches the nomination. His Know Nothing allies will not like being used
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

Trump has already permanently lost conservative support. What the media will do is divide and conquer his shrinking base:a radioactive Trump

Donald Trump reminds me of the legend of the little boy and the rattlesnake. "You knew what I was when you picked me up." Trump is a dealer.

I'm not sure what to make of the bewildering polls; two weeks ago, NBC had Cruz up by 2 over Trump; CNN over the weekend has Trump at 49.

Megan McArdle is always a good read; her piece on the #NeverTrump movement has a good categorization of our opinions https://t.co/J1nPnlGMv7

I don't know what Rubio, a lame-duck senator, does if Trump blows everyone out today and Cruz doesn't exit. Does he play loyalist for 2020?

As a libertarian, I loathe authoritarianism above all, and everything about Trump screams authoritarian. He openly admires strongmen

If a Clinton-Trump election came down to my vote, I would vote Clinton and take a long hot shower. As bad as Clinton is, Trump is even worse
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

Hugh Hewitt is arguing as bad as Trump is, we can't afford to let Hillary Clinton pick Scalia's replacement. But that assumes Trump can win.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

I think the GOP should make a deal with Obama to name Cruz to SCOTUS. This would probably enrage the lefties, but the Senate might go for it
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

The GOP must not become the "Government of that Plutocrat, Donald Trump".

Erick Erickson argues that we conservatives need to think third party. The Constitution Party is already on most state ballots. Rick Perry?
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

What's funny will be all the Trump cultists screaming about a splinter party when the fascist himself has threatened numerous times to leave
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

I think if there's ever a time a third party could do well, it's when the parties nominate deeply flawed candidates lke Clinton and Trump.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

I've toyed with the idea of what to name the party:Federalism Party; American Conservative: Small Govt: American Rights; American Principles
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

I think conservatives should think of a vehicle like the Conservative Party of NY, with scoring across tickets & multiple ticket candidates.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 1, 2016

Let's not forget 3 current senators won election as a third-party candidate, and James Buckley won from NY; Rubio won a 3-way in 2010.

Re: Make America great again

@realDonaldTrump I heard him say the same things 5 times in the last debate.

This is Soft Rock Amerca. This dedication goes to the media whores who cover the wolf in sheep's clothing, Trump: https://t.co/CASCbLWVWH
