How the GOP Insiders Plan to Steal the Nod From Trump
Breitbart ^

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” – Eric Hoffer

Despite a growing string of victories in the Republican primaries ,the DC-Wall Street cabal that has dominated the GOP since 1988 has no intention of letting the billionaire real estate mogul be nominated. None other than Karl Rove has insisted the stop-Trump effort is not too late and can succeed.

A new superPAC has dumped $10 million dollars into blistering negative TV ads against Trump in the last three days. The Koch brothers and their associates deny funding the effort but they denials are questionable at best. The New York Times reported Sunday that the Rubio and Kasich campaigns are now openly planning on a ‘brokered convention” to stop Trump in the back rooms in Cleveland. The New York Daily News reported that Barbara Bush has vowed revenge against Trump for ending the “low energy” campaign of her son Jeb, the anointed one and that the Bush clan is all-in in the effort to stop Trump. The News reported that Jeb may transfer the $25 to $30 million in SuperPAC funds he has left to an anti-Trump effort

If the GOP establishment steals the nomination from Trump, I’ll boycott the GOP.

We have to see how Trump does on super Tuesday.

A brokered convention is a real possibility.

More likely and sensible to give the funds to Rubio or Cruz.

No Republican should attack another Republican at the peril of the country having Hell Herself as President.

Trump should do very well on Super Tuesday, except in Texas, Cruz’s state.

These people have lost their collective minds.

Several articles need to be linked together or at the very least, stored in one vault.

GOPe Announce Plans To Go “Full Mississippi” on Donald Trump To Destroy Him. Right as rain from here on out!

They can't "steal" the nomination from him. If he has the votes, he'll be the nominee. But he doesn't have the right to those votes before people cast them, and if voters can be persuaded to vote for someone other than Trump, that's not "stealing" anything.

Do they have any clue, the anger that would be unleashed? In 1968, when it got crazy, everyone wasn't armed. There wasn't technology to develop an immediate network of discontent. This isn't meant to be a threat, it's a real concern. The comfortable and confident middle class is losing its status. Take away their hope for a leader on their side, and what's the alternative?

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Trump is smart enough to see where the unrest in the US was leading if someone doesn't turn it around?

I'm being philosophical here. How did our culture and nation deteriorate so badly in just 50 years? If it doesn't turn around, fast, we follow the path of every other country that's being reduced to rubble.

How has the “spend money to defeat Trump” strategy worked so far?

Stupidity is when you follow the strategy that failed and expect different results.

That is why the Republicans are called the stupid party.

If GOP takes the nomination from the victor (presuming its Trump) its the end of the GOP. At that point they will have announced to the world that their “leadership” and arrogance are more important than any of its elections or members.

I voted for Cruz. If he loses, he loses. If the GOP steals Trumps earned nomination to put in Rubio or someone else I will not vote for anyone.

That's ok, if Trump WINS the nomination a lot of people will boycott the GOP.

The Uniparty must be protected at all costs! It's going to be the Barbour/Cochran mudslinging campaign on mega-steroids.

Excellent point. And even though the Democrats claim to be for the middle class, they aren't. Obamacare, the IRS and taxes, a future carbon tax, more regulations, taxes and fees, a VAT, etc.
