Buyer’s remorse must be spreading.
British voters agree to pull Great Britain out of the European Union and now might be regretting that decision.
Now we hear that most Republicans in this country want someone other than Donald J. Trump to be their party’s presidential nominee.
In both cases, I fear that voters will have to live with the consequences of their decision.

A poll published by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal say that 45 percent of Republicans want Trump to be their nominee. They want someone else to carry the banner into the fight this fall against Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Democrats.
Sorry, folks. Here’s the thing: Trump has won more primary contests by far than anyone else. He’s collected enough convention delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot. He’s going to be the GOP nominee this summer when delegates gather in Cleveland.
We haveĀ a saying in Texas that goes something like this:
“You dance with them that brung ya.”
Sure, Trump has a seemingly endless list of failings as a national political leader. No need to detail them here. You know what they are.
But he’s won a fair-and-square primary fight against a large field of opponents, most of whom were much more qualified than he is to become commander in chief.
He’s your guy, GOP.
Good luck at the dance.
