They have started going through the 5 stages of grief.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They\u2019ve gone through <strong>Denial<\/strong> that Trump would even run, <strong>Anger<\/strong> that he proved them wrong and got in the race, <strong>Depression<\/strong> when he moved into the top position in the polls and <strong>Bargaining<\/strong> that some sort of deal could be struck between the other contenders which would topple him. Now we\u2019ve come to the point of <strong>Acceptance<\/strong> that there may be nothing for it but to accept that Trump could, in fact, wind up being the nominee. (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170419033212\/http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2015\/10\/19\/dear-gop-trump-isnt-tarnishing-the-brand-if-he-is-the-brand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Stolen shamelessly from Jazz Shaw writing for Hot Air<\/i><\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if \u201cThe Donald\u201d will wind up winning the nomination. He does stand a good chance. However, coming up is Dr. Carson, and we also have Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina. What do these four have in common? With the exception of Ted Cruz, none of them have held office before. Cruz is currently a United States Senator from the great State of Texas, but makes the list due to The Republican Establishment hating his guts.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump does win the nomination and then the presidency, he could bring in the other three contenders into his administration and basically nuke the Republican Establishment back into the stone age. As to the choices that the GOP Establishment wants? Juan! Arbusto is fading fast even with the pile of money he has.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio is considered a backstabber by the Tea party and other conservative groups that helped him get elected. Chris \u201cThe Jersey Whale\u201d Christie was never going to get the nomination after tongue bathing Obama. The others are so far back that they might as well fold their tents and call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>The only hope for the RINO&#8217;s is a brokered convention where they can shove Juan! Arbusto down the throats of the GOP base. If that happens, well, can you say Hello President Clinton or How are things going President Sanders?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I have not decided if I can go with Trump or not. I do know that there is no way in Hell I will vote for Bush, Christie, Rubio, the future <a href=\"http:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=19330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Postmaster General<\/a> or any of the other RINO&#8217;s. That doesn&#8217;t mean I will stay home, but it does mean that I will write in someone, anyone else&#8217;s name. (I&#8217;m still hopeful for a Tom Kratman administration) Trump, Carson, Cruz or Fiorina. None of the others, (with the possible exception of Governor Jindal), are worth the time of day.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>[yasr_visitor_votes size=&#8221;medium&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
