Not yet. We'll know a lot more after Super Tuesday, March 1st. With enough wins, Trump can take a dominant lead. In 2012, Romney won 225 delegates on Super Tuesday.

Regardless of what you think of Trump (he is not my 1st choice), he is light-years ahead of Obama who is constantly disregarding the Constitution and doing end runs around Congress with his Executive Orders and open border policy. Lawless.

Assuming that Trump is going to back up his talk, I don't know that he's going to be a paragon of constitutional behavior either, and might even be just as bad as Obama in that sense, just in different ways.

Quite possibly far worse.

I won't vote for him, Sanders, or Hillary. Everyone else is a possibility. If it is Trump vs. Hillary or Sanders, I will likely write my own name in (because I would do better than any of those three), or look a little closer at 3rd party candidates.

I've decided I'll write in Mitt Romney.

I won't vote for Trump in the Primary. But, if he wins the GOP nomination, I will vote for him in the General election. There is no way I would sit on the sideline with either "shape-shifter" Benghazi Hillary or Socialist Bernie on the ticket. Remember, the Constitution is already hanging by a thread .....

If it's the constitution you're worried about, ya'll should have been making a much stronger push for Uncle Ron Paul while he was still running. That was a guy who was a constitutionalist first and asked questions later. I have my doubts that Romney would have respected the constitution.

Trump is not going to respect the constitution any more than either of "dem" candidates.

Trump is a democrat candidate. They've really stacked the deck this time.
