The GOP Establishment would rather lose the White House than lose their positions and power.

A tactical error that will seriously backfire

If it came down to that no third party pledge, I think Donald Trump would make the pledge. This is getting serious now, and many think Trump actually stands a chance of getting nominated. This is no longer a simple parlor game or vanity project.

I actually hope that they do! This would only add the anti-establishment candidates. Cruz should threaten to not attend if Trump is disallowed. This would boost his standing as well.

They can kick him out...but he will STILL win the nomination. The bottom line is that there is NO WAY to stop Trump. The Republicans PUNTED on the fighting the Democrats on their drive to simply RE-POPULATE the country. They left the field WIDE OPEN for Trump, or any other credible conservative, but none stepped up.

...so the ONLY HOPE for these beasts is to try to get a credible Republican to run Third Party and hopefully steal some of Trump’s voters. I doubt that will work, but it’s either that or upping their profile in Linkedin.

Never happen- though I wish it would.

Then, in protest, Ted Cruz doesn’t participate— and Ted and Donald have the most watched debate in history on PPV, where they eviscerate the establishment GOP.

(Well, one can dream).

Lindsey Graham expressed the true GOPE thoughts several days ago. They’d rather lose to the Dems than have Trump.

The networks covering the debates will never go for this.

They know that viewers of a debate excluding Trump will be in the 5-10 million range compared to the 24 million who watched the first one on Fox.

They may be biased, but they aren’t all stupid.

This article was written a week after the debate, yet carries a 'dateline' of August 21. More dissembling by the GOPe.

A LOT of political water has crossed under the bridge since this crap was written. Last week called, they want their meme back.

Trump towers.

Give’em a taste of their own medicine: Take the pledge, and renege later, if necessary.

That’s what we’ve been putting up from these asshats in the House & Senate...

I really don’t think even the GOP leadership is that stupid. But time will tell.

Not gonna happen. The GOPe may hate Trump but they hate revolt and political suicide much worse.
