Here are the results of our “Republican Nomination Theft” poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking or will of the national majority.
Since our polling site no longer enables us to copy and paste your poll comments, you may read them here.
I voted with the plurality, but I feel no confidence, as much has changed in the last month. Perhaps I should have included a “Nominate an evil asshole” response. That would have been a sure winner.
The new poll is is and some of you may think there should be an “Other” response. I did not include it, because in real life, no other choice exists.

Good comments, All !!
Thanks, Tom.
I still love Yvonne's "Trump bought the GOP, he should get to keep it."
On the new poll – Well, this is a no-brainer. My only addition would be, as I said on your Open Thread, tack on "down-ballot all the way!"
No matter how you slice it, there is no Republican worthy of the White House. Obviously, Republicans did not anticipate the "popularity" of Drumpf, and without doubt, they don't like it. I think they will do what they have to to keep Trump out of the White House and another Republican in. But I wonder how much they would grow to like him if he, God forbid, delivered the White House to them? Scary thought!
They will worship him if he manages to deliver the White House. Canada better build a wall if that happens.
also scary is that the TRUSed Uranus will jump on his bandwagon.
Yay! I know how I voted from my comment: " I said for someone else so it would get tied up in court and lead Trump to run as an independent."
I voted they would steal it from someone else, and I still believe they will.
For what it is worth, I expect the Republicans will go ahead and nominate Trump. This might be a case of the kettle calling the pot black since I am supporting Hillary this election but Republicans have little stomach for bucking the establishment. More importantly, the rank and file Trump supporters I know are mad about everything that isn't directly reinforcing their view that the white man is the ruler of this country.
Throw in the fact that everyone hates Cruz because he is so damn creepy and that ensures Trump will get the nomination.
Welcome back, Beach!! Long tome no see!! Too long!!
You might well be right. Trump has donme so well since this poll went up that he may be just too close in delegates for a steal
Poll or no poll, we just have to wait and see what happens at the convention while keeping our fingers crossed the GOP is still fighting about it by November, lessening the chances of any nominee that came out of the melee.
All four options equate to "nominate an evil asshole".
Man, no kidding! It's like picking which poison do you want to be killed by!!!
Bingo!!
Wow. The Donald may be the nominee, after all. What a tangled web this presidential race has become! HumptyDrumpf is laughing-stock ALL over the WORLD, and I am totally embarrassed to even be associated with a red state!!!
Good comments from all!
Thanks all! Hugs!! Don'y forget to vote!!
