Story is garbage in that it makes no sense. Is the GOPe happy that Trump is the nominee? No. They will work to sabotage him and run another of their hand picks in 2020. But is the GOPe dumb enough to, in effect, blow up the party by picking someone against the will of the voters? I doubt it.
Typical MSM circle jerk. WaPo or NYT prints junk. Next paper picks up story and reports the story as if it is news. No original story, just a story on a story. Next outlet picks it up and reports on story and how story is spreading because others picked up said story and reported that it was a story.
All from one story you get fifty. What a gift!!!
IIRC Trump booted the WaPo reporters...
