So you advocate a country where the President can silence the media for not reporting what they want?

LOL yeah right.
If you got that from what I said, you really need serious help.
You should read this thread, it fits you like a glove: www.abovetopsecret.com...
Trump can just pull offending media company's FCC licenses for national security threats for not reporting on the criminal acts of congress, senate, or the presidency in Obama's case.

I got it from this, you specifically mention wanting Trump to pull the broadcasting rights of various media if they don't report negative news about Congress. If you can do it for one reason, you can do it for another.

Carson's an idiot who thinks the pyramids were grain silos.
Christie is a crook through and through, brought on only to secure NJ.
Bush is well....a Bush....
Rubio is a bought and paid for yes man, so he may have a shot.
Ventura, here's a guy who left the country...not going to buy him any favors (if he's even eligible anymore, may be a residency clause)
Cruz and Kasich are simply out of it for hanging in this long.
My advice to Trump would be Condoleeza Rice. Sure, it's pandering, but pretty much negates the racist and chauvinist comments in one fell swoop. (and she's a capable insider, which is what he's looking for in a VP)
The others (Carson, Christie) may get cabinet positions.
And Rice/Ryan or Ryan/Rice ticket would give Clinton a real run for her money. Clinton has to be praying Trump takes it or even Cruz because anybody else could likely beat her or at least make it very close
Rice is not likely as the way Trump has attack Bush he was also basically attacking her.
What happens if no one accepts the nomination (which would, in this case, be more of a draft)?

Normally, I think you're always right on the money in politics, but not in this case.
I can't think of a single Trump voter I know who'd vote for a GOP candidate if the party snubbed him after getting the most votes, even in a brokered convention. We'd rather see him run independent, or write his name in, than vote for an establishment picked alternate. Hell, given the GOP's actions, I'd rather vote for Hillary than one of their alternate picks, and that's REALLY saying something....
This is just how fed up we are with it. A party targeting their own front-runner when THEY are the ones who accepted him in the race in the first place!
And there's zero chance of any other GOP candidate beating Hillary, no matter what the polls say, because the people that would factor into a Trump vote simply aren't the type to respond to polls (we simply have too much else to do to mess with them). Even Trump has a slight chance. If you look at the trends, he constantly gets within single digits, and one even had him edging her out, a few days back. I suspect we'd see this trend continue to wax and wane.
Rice is not likely as the way Trump has attack Bush he was also basically attacking her.
Politics makes strange bedfellows. After all Clinton was in Obama's cabinet and they went at each other too. Plenty of other precedents for it.
