    Many GOP traditionalists fear that each candidate would be a disaster in the November general election.

    That leaves many pinning their White House hopes on a feat no Republican has pulled off in modern political history: securing the nomination without winning in Iowa or New Hampshire.

    It’s a risky strategy. And it’s left party officials hoping weaker candidates will drop out of the race after New Hampshire’s primary Feb. 9, to help voters coalesce behind a mainstream alternative.

    The strategy is also driven by necessity, given Trump and Cruz’s strong standing in the early states.

    CRUZ is not a disaster at all. He speaks the TRUTH. Donald is just a Donald and not a President at all.

    Cruz says will move embassy to Jlem on very first day. I believe him. Jeb also said, but his brother and father did not. Trump unclear on Israel. Rubio may have also said, and I would believe. Rand Paul may be the smartest one of all, but very scary for Israel. Huck and Kasich seem like decent guys, as does Christie and Santorum. Carson writes well, but doesn’t have gift of speech. Overall, lots of decent people in the GOP field.

    The reason that the GOP want either Bush, Christie or Rubio is because they’re sleazy puppets who will do whatever their rich donors want them to do. The GOP only cares about their own power and pocket which is why they’re terrified of Trump and Cruz who dont seem interested in being puppets for wealthy donors behind the scenes who want the boarders open and only care about the bottom dollar. I pray Hashem makes Trump president and Cruz vice.

    This seems like a article right out of the liberal Democratic media so Republicans shouldn’t even go vote!! They’re in for a surprise!

    In a 2 person race; Trump against Rubio, or Trump against Christie, or or even Trump against the HP woman; Trump would lose (he has 43% or so supporters & 57% who despise him) and the Republican nominee would then trounce Hillary. Unfortunately, no one is dropping out, and the only chance for getting a President that won’t bury the United States (i.e. that Machsheifeh who would have us begging for Obama) is a brokered Republican Convention.
