Trump carries

Sure would be nice to see the Cruz supporters unite behind the Republican nominee.
Bashing Trump at this point serves no useful purpose.

I'm voting for Trump.

Now please enlighten me as to what this history breaking amount of money is that is on the table to lose with Trump as president.

Just about every Trump supporter I've spoken to, has stated it's Trump or nobody, had Cruz won would you have voted for him? I'll vote for Trump, because even if he's only a little bit better than Hillary, it's still better. Besides, Trump doesn't have anyone's blood on his hands (that we know of any way).

Don't be thinking I like Trump, I am seriously considering a 3rd party, in my view a vote for Trump is damn near a vote for Hillary, they are that close. All modern presidents reap financial rewards from being president. I'm hoping Trump won't do what I know Hillary would do for a buck.

I wasn't and wouldn't. It was a general statement disguised as a response to you. I agree with you completely.

He's no different than all the other dirty politicians. I have no doubts Trump will reap as many financial rewards as Hillary. I don't believe for one second patriotism is his main priority.

However, I also don't think he is a progressive. A constitutional, limited government conservative...not even close. But he's not a progressive and that makes him better than any liberal.

Now you've completely lost me. What money?

Start with the career politicians at the Federal level and their relationships with the U.S. banking industry, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve.
Trump has worked within these same circles, but as a civilian with very limited influence. Trillions at stake.

Then there's the relationship between the industries above and their equals across the globe. Notice how the U.S. housing crash and banking crash causes ripples around the world. Trillions at stake

Then there's trade agreements. Every countries economy is now so intertwined that any big move will have far reaching effects. Trump is campaigning on putting America first and the rest of the global market second. This is not how the rest of the world wants us to play the game. Trillions at stake.

Then there's the subsidies the Feds pay out to the eco-scammers while attempting to bankrupt fossil fuels. Billions at stake.

Then there's our crappy neighbor to the South. Trump will cut them off. Billions at stake.

Then there's military spending in/on other countries. Billions at stake.

Then there's our relationship with OPEC. Keeps us from drilling here. Trump will want to change that arrangement. Trillions at stake.

Then there's all the Musloid deals Obama has made over the past 8 years. These people will not be happy when their unconstitutional executive agreements are made null and void. Billions at stake.

I'm not suggesting a President can pull off or shut down everything they would like to, but going against any one of the above oligarch arrangements is enough to put a yuge price on one's head.

Trump has stated over and over that he does not intend to play along. This is why the GOPe wanted to stop him. They are going to lose at least some of their money. It is also why most world leaders don't want him. They have longstanding lucrative arrangements with our Federal government.

It will be interesting to watch anyway.

This is a fact. I have not met a single Trump supporter that would vote for Cruz if he won. But virtually all the Cruz supporters I know say they will vote for Trump. And this is why I'm glad Cruz is sitting out now. I think he is the best candidate we've had in decades, but with so many millions of Republicans saying they'd stay home if he was nominated, him stepping down is our best chance.

As naive as I think Trump supporters are, they have more on their side of the line...sometimes joining the herd is the best chance at survival.

Primary season is for principles. That's why I've been harping on it here. But the only thing that matters going into the general is winning. Principles be damned, got to beat the commies.

I don't actually think Trump will change any of that, but I appreciate you elaborating.

And you are correct, it will be interesting to watch.

I would absolutely vote for the Republican nominee no matter who had won the primary.
Though my vote here in the Conservative strong-hold of Teller County is not as important as yall poor souls surrounded by the libs up north.

I see trump puling a bloomberg.

OR................. the last debate he looks in to the cameras. Says to everyone, You want to know something Hillary? Long pause......................You're right you are the best candidate to run the country.

Walks off the stage. 30 seconds later the next shot heard round the world starts, what some may or may not..................

Assuming there aren't any republican shenanigans at the primary guess I'll be voting for Trump. What a weird election this is... I'm really afraid of what November will bring.
