Anti-Trump forces appeared to have been defeated after he ousted his remaining opponents from the race in early May and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus all signaled that Mr. Trump had sewn things up.

Trump needs to be replaced, but not by Romney. Trump is going to get his ass handed to him by Hillary. Do I want that? No. I can wish for something, but that doesn't make it reality.

I do not want Hillary as Prez. I don't want Romney as the R nominee either.

So there is Hillary, or a donor to Hillary.
