Yup.....Cruz was the anticipated target of this strategy, Trump's entrance into the race and his subsequent success has them racing deadlines to make final tweaks to State primary rules to stop a "movement candidate". As I've said for months.... Trump is the best thing to happen to Cruz....there have been at least a couple of articles denoting that the GOP is warming to Cruz as a Trump alternative... |

Seriously, if the GOPe does what it wants and manages to kill off Cruz, Trump, Rubio etc and make Jeb the nominee, there will a general revolt, the GOP will cease to exist and Trump will run 3rd party. Hilary is almost toast, I think The Bern wins the Dem nomination.
So I predict a three way race between RINO Jeb, Socialist Sanders, and crazy Trump. I can't predict a winner there. |

No third party can overcome the built-in advantages. No candidate or party which seriously challenges the status quo will ever be able to raise enough money to be competitive. The people who run the system will make certain of that. See for example, the treatment of "TEA party" groups who sought tax exempt status to enable them to raise money.

The GOPe has been attempting to screw Trump since at least the first debate while stacking the deck in their favor. They're not at all concerned about backlash at this point, and will only become bolder and more blatant in their attempts as the primary approaches. |

They are all in for Jeb and have been working on this since at least 2014. Remember several months back when Jeb said they may have to lose the primary to win the general? Out of context that was the stupidest political statement I can recall. In context it now makes perfect sense. The site OP posted also has some great research backed up with polling that shows how the GOPe strategy of divide the field and collect the Electoral College votes piecemeal is actually a pretty sound strategy. Gonna be a real interesting convention. |

Non Uniparty supporters have now realized that they are far from alone in their desires. If Trump or Cruz prevail in the State primaries yet have the rug yanked out from under them at the convention, then you will see their supporters realize that a third party is the only way short of blood. I suppose that if everyone that was afraid to vote 3P over the years actually voted 3P it would be quite an eye opener, the uniparty counts on folks buying that a vote for 3P is a thrown away vote... |

There was some talk recently of Jeb or another establishment candidate running as an Independent to prevent Trump from becoming president.
