Republicans are either con men or pawns. Nothing in between. I'm just sick of the hatred being seeded in people who follow Trump. The level of fear and hatred is awful. But I guess The Donald will run as a third party candidate if the GOP does anything that looks like a take out.

No sarcasm intended. A Nugent-Trump ~~train wreck~~ primary battle would be great entertainment.

They started the primary season with about 20 candidates. All of them were lightweights.

if they are going to bump Trump.

I still don't believe he is a serious candidate. I doubt that he has invested anything in the ground organization. He's all bluster.

a couple of states and realistically cannot pull it together fast enough to meet the upcoming deadlines of several more.

The only logical choice left for the GOP establishment is to rally around Rubio of all people.
