(42,766 posts)No matter who their candidate is they will come up with some sort of desperate scam in the last few weeks (remember the Swift Boaters?). So no matter how well positioned the Dem candidate might look, depend on the GOP to pull last ditch dirty tricks out of their bag.

(7,300 posts)That's why I support a candidate with a proven track record of integrity versus a sniper dodging, suddenly evolving, anointed one.

(20,226 posts)named Republicans can handle that or how they can back away from some of the harsher criticisms many of them have made. Some are actually warming to the idea of Ted Cruz although - on the personal level - as George W. Bush said, "I just don't like the guy." It doesn't seem that Rubio is really taking off - although it seems that he might have a better chance of unifying the party than most of the others - popular with the Tea Party crowd - or at least somewhat popular until recently - yet acceptable to the party leadership. It seems that the Tea Party types and white Evangelical types want someone who is unacceptable to the official Party leadership.
It has not happened is several decades - But could the GOP end up with a brokered convention? A friend of mine suggested that if that happened and it went to a number of ballots - maybe Paul Ryan would be the ideal compromise candidate - I guess that kind of makes sense. - Popular with the Tea Party crowd and the white Evangelicals and still acceptable to the Party leadership. Still I don't know how much the Trump thing is a total personality cult - someone who has such a spell over his followers that they just plain will not accept anyone except him?
