Jeff Roe - he's like Karl Rove, but without the ethics, humor or grasp or reality.

It slows Trump's progress towards clinching the nomination and increases the chance of a brokered convention.

And neither Trump nor Cruz will be brokered pick. It will be a bland, establishment pick like Kasich or Ryan.

And that means Trump and his nutbars will throw a fit and not support the GOP pick in November.

Advantage, Democrats.

I don't want Trump running away with the nomination, on both strategic and practical grounds.

It'll be more devastating to the republican party than a brokered convention. It'll destroy that party for years.

Trump has zero chance against Hillary or Bernie.

Trump is so repulsive thar in the end many republicans will be discouraged and so will even vote for Hillary which is what I did. Wonder how many crossed over in the Primary like I did but intend to vote Democratic in November?

Fewer delegates for Trump means more likelihood of chaos at the Republican Convention...

Besides, Trump is worse for the republican party than a brokered convention.

A brokered convention will hurt the republicans for one election.

Trump will destroy that party for many years.

it's not inspiring. Late applause, out of necessity. He is so insane, all the insane voters moved to the next guy, Trump.

And at this point, does a Republican voter win any new votes by saying "I'll protect your right to bear arms". Uh, OK?!

He is an absolute idiot.
