Trumpots and all you 'Goooooo Trump robots" need to understand that Trump's bluster, smears, name calling, etc., that worked so well for him in the primaries, helped along with a complicit media, will all backfire against him in the general
e******n.
And as against Hillary, the media will gravitate towards her, leaving Trump without all the free media coverage that served him so well in the primaries. Henceforth he'll have to spend money to get media coverage or if he gets any media coverage it'll be negative. And donors aren't donating. They are beginning to see that Trump will bring down many down-ticket candidates as well.
So what can be done. Again delegates aren't bound to v**e for Trump on the first round. More v**ers v**ed against Trump than for him. He won the primaries because the v**e was split among 16 other candidates.
The delegates can abstain from v****g on the first round. It's written into the rules of the Republican Party, a private organization. And on the second and subsequent rounds of v****g, delegates are free to v**e their conscience. Like for any God fearing constitutional conservative with the attributes needed to beat Hillary and right our ship of state that's listing badly to port (left).
Here's an excerpt from Eric Ericsson's piece today as to specifically why delegates should v**e their conscience.
"And after 55 years in the making, the Great Council of Orthodox Churches is being cancelled. A number of of the churches have decided to withdraw, including Russia. There are various reasons for the withdrawals of churches and the Church of Constantinople, whose Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, is considered first among equals, is blaming Russian imperial ambitions. But the reality, according to a dear friend of mine active in the Orthodox Church in America, is that a number of the churches have taken issue with Bartholomew’s leftward drift toward Pope Francis style social justice and environmentalism. There are other subtexts and pretexts too for scuttling the Council, including issues involving the relationships of the various churches.
Republican should pay attention to what is happening. Hiding behind the so-called “will of the people,” which amounts to a minority of Republican v**ers who cast their v**e for Donald Trump, Republicans have set themselves on autopilot for destruction in November. Even with polling showing Hillary Clinton now at a double digit lead despite the events of Orlando, Republicans seem unwilling to change course.
Republicans, however, should not hide behind changeable rules when history itself is on the line. The delegates can unbind themselves. They can decide Donald Trump is a bridge too far. They have the power to do this.
If an organization set up by God himself can take 55 years to reconvene after 1,000 years and then cancel at the last minute, the GOP should be able to do the same thing. Eternal matters are not even on the line, just the politics of the day."

Hey, conservatives had a great set of people to choose from and wound up picking Trump. That means there is no one to blame but themselves. But it not the presidency that is the problem--the senate and congress are now up for grabs and thanks to Trump at least one of them will fall...
