This morning Governor Merrill was adamant that New Hampshire primary voters would choose an establishment candidate to represent them in the GOP nomination process. He specifically pointed to the campaigns of Jeb Bush and John Kasich as those he approved of.

He also appeared dismissive of the possibility that either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz would win New Hampshire.

Then he dropped a bombshell that clearly had Fox Business host Neil Cavuto a bit stunned.

Merrill indicated it would be a brokered Republican convention regardless, and from there a proper candidate would be nominated.

I'm already losing sleep worrying about this. Ran into these links:

How The Republican Establishment Can Keep Donald Trump From Getting The Nomination

Disaster For Donald Trump In Iowa And The Probability Of A Brokered Convention Just Went Way Up

You may say this is the wrong time and place to bring this up but I submit to everyone that with all this work, all the primaries, all the money. . and the GOP is going to pick Jeb and Kasich at the end? I just think it's a head's up for everyone to realize how sinister this is and for everyone to be informed and prepared as much as we can for this eventuality.

If Trump wins all the primaries except maybe Utah and Texas, then what?

He’d get his ass handed to him if he and others tries to take away a clear win for a non-Establishment candidate if it comes to that.

The GOPe will go Birther on Cruz and Rove/Priebus will strip his delegates at the convention and assign them to Jeb under RNC bylaws. The fix is in.

I guess Orrin G. Hatch will keep Trump from winning UT.

Thanks for the heads up on all of that.

The eGOP will do everything they can to get one of their next-in-line types as nominee.

If not, like you said and showed with quotes and links, they have their ways.

The eGOP mucky mucks are like spoiled little kids gorging themselves on candy.

And on another note, I could name at least a dozen high profile elites on FOX NEWS who are not-so-silently screaming

WE ARE ALL MEGYN KELLY!
