Former Romney Adviser on Trump Alternative: ‘Until Donald Trump Has the Nomination…All Things Are Possible’

By NOAH FITZGEREL

There remain deep rumblings inside the establishment of the Republican Party about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. This week’s episode of ABC’s "Powerhouse Politics" podcast paints a picture in which the Republican National Committee may focus its efforts on down-ticket races to hedge the risk of losing the White House in November to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, leaving a Trump operation with little infrastructure of its own scrambling to catch up.

Noting the frustration that has endured in several Republican circles with the party’s presumptive nominee, Stuart Stevens, a former adviser to Mitt Romney and an outspoken member of the Never Trump movement, said that there is "still a possibility that the convention could go in a different direction." Stevens noted, "Until Donald Trump has the nomination, one thing we've learned with Donald Trump is that all things are possible."

Stevens said that this sort of political frustration exists in the Democratic Party as well. "There's clearly a desire for an alternative in both parties," Stevens said while referring to recent poll numbers. Speaking of a possible third-party alternative to Donald Trump, Stevens said, "I think choice is good...If someone’s there and he’s credible, or she’s credible...“I think that would be positive.”

It is clear that Donald has no backing from RNC. He is a de-facto third-party candidate while a third party candidate GOPe could get behind is a real GOP candidate, as far as they are concerned. This is how things are shaping up.

It’s why Trump forgave his campaign loan the other day. He can self-fund. Go ahead, make my day.

The Cheap Labor Express has not given up trying to deny the citizens a President who would stop them.

These people are afraid of losing their graft bribes and corrupt funding. They’d rather continue lapping up any crumbs from under the D’s table than risk mr Trump cleaning the corruption up . Let them leave the g o p they aren’t worth saving

See my tagline. If they betray we the voters, our protest theme should be “The Party’s Over”.

It is amazing how clueless and insular these folks are
. The oligarchy is in a state of denial. 3 1/2 weeks to Cleveland.

Well Stuart Stevens me lad, you can take your puny genitalia, insert it into your rectal orifice, and commence to commit fornication with yourself, and tell Bishop Romney that his golden underwear is full of fecal matter just like he is.

Romney is a Putz. He should go beg Hillary for the VP spot.

I believe he could actually make the sale as her poll numbers fall and the DNC becomes convinced that the #NeverTrump crowd would vote for her with a little push.

The party was over after Reagan's 1st term when the Bush crime family took over. They've been screwing us ever since.

Trump is indeed the ONLY "R" that will get my vote this year. The party is over. It's done. They have spoken, and now it's the people's turn. The GOP is dead.

I agree. When I am in the booth, I will vote for Trump, and leave. I’m not voting for any down ballot RINOs just because they are in the R column. Screw ‘em!

True! Bush as VP was the worst decision Reagan made.

“True! Bush as VP was the worst decision Reagan made.”

Agree. I pray Trump will use discernment and prayer in his choice of VP.
