So let's assume boss Reince Priebus, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and others wanted word to get out that they were aiming to dump Trump. Given that national polls show him with twice as much support as his closest rival, their scheming borders on political malpractice.
It signals that the quaking core of the GOP establishment is more afraid of Trump than of a President Hillary Clinton.
Instead of seeing an opportunity in the fact that Clinton herself is confused about how to handle Trump, his party leaders have decided they can't stomach him.
To be sure, The Donald has that effect on many people, but most are not Republicans. While the leaders claim to be looking for a winner in November, they are overlooking the fact that no candidate of their liking has been able to command the support of more than a small fraction of the partyâs actual members.
It's not just Trump the leaders don't like. They are also not fond of Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina. In effect, they donât like anybody that actual GOP voters like.
By deluding themselves that Jeb Bush is going to rise again or that Mitt Romney is available for a draft, the leaders are revealing their ignorance and arrogance. When even the gentle Carson blasts the anti-Trump conclave and threatens to bolt the party if the nominating rules are changed, you know the plotting is a first-class screw-up.
Like it or not, Trump has captured the national mood of "HELL NO" better than anybody else. From illegal immigration to Islamic terrorism to Americaâs standing in the world, he offers visceral confirmation about voter concerns over decline.

Keep it up and the gopE will BE the 3rd party. What idjits.
The Establishment is shocked there are any real Americans left.
The Primary voters ought to decide, for better or for worse.
The GOP has put forth some very bland moderates in the last 27 years; time for the little people to decide.
Dontcha just love contemplating the cunning Clintons hovering over their billions....wondering what to do about Trump.
The two connivers got a lot riding on Hillary wielding the presidential pen.
An awful lot of their big buck foundation donors need presidential pardons.
“Like it or not, Trump has captured the national mood of “HELL NO” better than anybody else. “
Bingo
To them a winner is anyone who will continue to run the gravy train. Hillary is just fine.
Republicans hurt themselves all the time. Its what they do. This is nothing new.
This is how the GOP operates. They server their corporate masters and could care less about what the little people want.

Absolutely. The GOPe should be soul searching when the three leading the polls are against them.
That is GOPtreason!
Turning on own leading candidates????
What the hell they want?? Dig out Romney to throw the elections again????????
Resign scumbags, Priebus, Ryan, McClown....
The brokering going on is more likely to be between the Democrat Pelosi camp with Paul Ryan, for a deal that that the Establishment trades off TRUMP and the Democrats trade off Hillary, in exchange for Jebbers or for Ryan, himself.
Dems are not enthused about sleepy Hillary. TRUMP can beat her and that happening messes up the in-tandem policy making relationship of the Pelosi-Ryan/Establishment. They are now an open and mutual admiration society.
Ryan is plainly Democrat Light.
I know. I need to take a break, huh? %:D
Until I read your comment I hadn't realized a large part of my joy in backing Trump is he would take Hillary on... Thanks Liz.

So what do we call the new party? The GOPe said they will never accept Trump or Cruze!
The GOPe are truly going to be the outside party.
Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate who is actually following the RNC platform!

And he’s NOT a lawyer! Lawyers should NEVER be in an administrative post. They belong in the judicial arena...it’s called a balance of power.
The GOP wants someone who will continue the current pay for play in Washington. Someone who will be right there with the rest of the establishment who will overlook or participate in the lobbyist and big business game of paying to get things their way.
If I were Hillary, I would be worried as hell. Trump hires only the best PI’s, and they have certainly traced Hillary back to the fetus : )
Right! Why, look at what a helluva job they did with Obama's birth certificate.
Wait. What?
