Talk grows of replacing Trump at GOP convention (Katie Couric alert)

There is growing talk on the right of replacing Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president, and even chatter about a possible alternative.

As Trump has floundered over the past week after questioning a federal judge’s impartiality because of his Mexican ancestry, Trump’s critics within the GOP have stepped up their efforts to thwart him. Some anti-Trump conservatives, who have tried for months to recruit an independent candidate, have begun looking more closely at attempting to persuade delegates at next month’s GOP convention to nominate someone other than Trump.

“There is a rapidly moving train toward the convention to try to obstruct it at the convention. Trump in the last 72 hours has given hope to people who think it’s now possible,” said Erick Erickson, a conservative radio talk show host and one of Trump’s most resolute critics.

I get a kick out of the use of the label "conservatives" as if that has any particular meaning, or somehow adds value to the critic.

You have to understand the use of language. A conservative is a non-Democrat ally. That same person would be a far-right extremist in a non-allied context.

They don’t care if its Hillary just like they didn’t really care when it was Obama. Their interests are all the same, one big utopian party.

But this would be an all-out coup. Getting Hillary elected would be the least of their problems.

Fantaslyland. The enemies of Trump will thrash around and try to create negative sound bites for use in HRC ads. They will offer up bogus “proclamations” to be ruled on by tool Ryan, like “We demand a vote condemning the candidate for saying thus and such...” You know, friggin’ tricks and chest beating. Noise, just like the article.
