WASHINGTON — First, anti-Trump Republicans thought they could beat Donald Trump outright in the primary.
Then, they thought they could hold him under the required threshold number of delegates and beat him in a floor fight at the convention.
After that went out the window, some of the most ardent Trump opponents floated the idea of a third-party conservative option. But the only person who seemed like he really might do it, National Review writer David French, bowed out before it could become a reality. It seemed as though the never-Trump crowd was finally out of options.

Why don’t the Never Trumpers just admit that they are neo-con artists who would rather see Clinton elected. Once they’ve publicly admitted that, they can go back to the democrat party from whence they came.
You have to admit they all look a little nervous about what he might say next.
THESE PEOPLE ARE EVIL. Excerpt below:
In a post on Medium on Wednesday, Never Trump PAC strategist Rory Cooper wrote that there needs to be a “mechanism” by which delegates can vote for an alternative.
“The Rules Committee have it within their power to install a mechanism whereas if a potential nominee crosses a line or embarrasses the party to an extraordinary degree, delegates can vote for an alternative candidate,” Cooper wrote. “Many in the party believe Trump has already crossed that Rubicon.”
It isn’t clear yet whether there could be real momentum behind this idea or whether it will turn out, like the David French moment, to be dead on arrival.
“The method to do it is very clear, it’s just changing some rules at the Rules Committee,” said Doug Heye, a former spokesman for Eric Cantor and longtime Republican operative who opposes Trump. “But that doesn’t mean that it’s an easy thing to do mechanically or for what he party would have to go through.”
And making an eleventh-hour move to take the nomination away from Trump could throw what will already be a tense convention into chaos, and permanently alienate Trump’s supporters, Heye argued.
Trump “won fair and square, and that can’t be denied,” Heye said. “Can the nomination that he’s earned be denied him, and what would the repercussions be for doing so?”
If these bastards steal the nomination, it will be “Goodnight GOP”.
I say first ditch Mitch. The GOPee is just a shell going forward. Zombies they are...
That’s some projection.
Go right ahead, GOPe. All it will cost you, after all, is the House, the Senate, and any meaningful power at the federal level for another generation (or more).
You'll become an afterthought party, no more consequential than the Libertarians or the Greens.
If they tell us our votes are no longer important enough to them to count 'em in the primaries... then they obviously don't need our votes in the general election, either.
And Mr. French is not eligible.

All of these Cheap Labor Express stooges need to be politically banished.
“Trump’s disastrous past week...”
Trump did not have a disastrous past week. The MSM and the GOPe had a pretend frenzy and tried to pass it off as reality.
A record millions of Republicans voted their conscience during the primary season. If anyone thinks that the millions can be set aside by a few hundred...
But the Never-Trump crowd didn’t want him at all, ever.
This is a list of them:

Simple Definition of conspiracy. : a secret plan made by two or more people to do something that is harmful or illegal.
If that were the case they wouldn’t be standing behind him to begin with. So no, I don’t have to admit to that.
I wonder if Ted Cruz will be part of this?
This Rory Cooper person needs to be “DEALT WITH”. Can anyone get a horse’s head, and find out where he is staying the night before the convention so the horse’s head can be delivered personally. /jk
If they think Donald Trump will cause harm, they are obviously clueless as to the harm they will cause. Stupid, every one of them.
If you have to ask, then you are not nearly as bright as you think you are. Now go stand in the corner, dunce.
BuzzFeed is anti-Trump, isn’t it?
I will quit the party
