April 25, 201610 yr They just don't like a non politican is doing well. He is not one of the ole boys club.
April 25, 201610 yr Author They just don't like a non politican is doing well. He is not one of the ole boys club. Its deeper than that. Trump's anti free trade, immigration and foreign policy threatens a lot of establishment interests. Trump's RNC opposition spends 1/4 billion in negative advertising against him, then claims he should not be the nominee because he does not poll well against Hillary. Do they think we are stupid?
April 25, 201610 yr The Republicans fighting is going to hand the Presidency over to the Democrats and the sad thing is they would rather it be that instead of Trump. But I think it might backfire and I don't know if the RNC will be able to a viable organization after this.

April 25, 201610 yr The challenges to post nomination reconciliation will be HUGE. I agree, but I can't honestly say what this "reconciliation" will look like. So many things have been said by the establishment, I still don't see them supporting Trump. Either way the RNC will be lucky to survive as we know it.
April 25, 201610 yr Ted Cruz, John Kasich Campaigns Agree to Coordinate to Stop Trump - Yahoo Well, at least it is out in the open now. I bet Trump's poll numbers go up! I have to agree with Trump on this one. They look pathetic and desperate. In political history, has any party done more to try to stop its obvious front runner this late in the game than the R's are doing with Trump? Maybe so but I cannot think of a time where this has happened. The R establishment actually would rather have Obama have a third term or HRC win than Trump...crazy stuff.

Even if you are a Cruz or Kasich supporter, do really believe either will be nominated????
April 26, 201610 yr Did I hear that Cruz and Kasich might go ahead and name their VP before the convention in an attempt to gain some support and take some support from Trump. A popular choice and a fresh voice/legs on the campaign trail?
April 26, 201610 yr I agree, but I can't honestly say what this "reconciliation" will look like. So many things have been said by the establishment, I still don't see them supporting Trump. Either way the RNC and Mitch will be lucky to survive as we know it. Small correction.
April 26, 201610 yr This strategy sounds good in the HQs of the candidates but it rarely works with the voters. Kasich voters probably despite Cruz and Cruz voters probably think Kashich is weak. They're not easily going to switch over despite the logic.
April 26, 201610 yr Had this been arranged a couple months ago it may have worked. They botched the timing and it has blown up in their faces.
April 26, 201610 yr Romney vs Biden 2016. Its going to happen. I will take that all day Anything besides a Hillary.
