"Assume that Donald Trump will be the Republicans’ 2016 nominee, though it’s now clear he won’t be." What the fuck does this mean /pol/?

It means they'd spent months gathering oppo research and preparing the ground against the wrong opponent, and will have to scramble to redo much of the work when Cruz (or some other guy, but really just Cruz) becomes the nominee at the convention.

Sorry if I'm being retarded but if Trump isn't nominated does that mean he is no longer has a chance of becoming president?
>>70045156
No realistic chance, yeah.
>>70045156
That's correct, he'd be out of the running. Unless he runs independent, in which case it's still a big fat no.
>>70045419
Well that fucking sucks. Fuck the republican party, bunch of shills.
>>70043438
It means increasingly nervous man strikes again
>>70045898
Ok so there's hope, but the left are playing to play it down. So fucking predictable.

>Fuck the republican party, bunch of shills.
For the party leadership it's like going from the frying pan and into the fire.

No, Trump is the one who can mount an independent run and win. The vast majority of the public identifies as independent. Think of it as its own political party.

We don't want you Trump faggots in our party. We want to be cozy controlled opposition but you fucks keep coming in with your "change" bullshit. We are going to chase you out of electorate. Here in Wisconsin we are voting for the contested convention so we can make sure a safe, discreet candidate who follows orders is chosen.

Trump polls terrible with independents.
These are not the same 'independents' voting in the primaries.
>>70046436
As a Cruzfag I'll take some of Trump's obnoxious faggots, of course. Because I want to see change just as much as the alt-right fucks, only change in the right direction, not one which would doom the rightest movement to irrelevance.
