And btw, there seems to be an inference that any Republican politician who doesn't want Trump as the nominee has a nefarious motive. But not all of them are Whitman and would vote for Hillary over Trump. Most have said they'll support the nominee.
lot of them just believe that Trump will get crushed in the general election, and there are polls backing that up. A lot of people oppose to Trump because they believe he can't win. There's nothing sleazy about that about supporting an alternative you think has a better chance.
Not surprisingly, I don’t agree.
Have those -it doesn’t matter if they are politico or constituent- list the reasons Trump can’t win. I guarantee you every one can easily be refuted and here’s why. Most use traditional GOP voter polling data and models to bolster their points and that is deeply flawed. It’s a stone cold fact Trump has redefined the game, those old models aren’t applicable. Trump can deliver rust belt states, he’s proving that now. And maybe he won’t be able to deliver NY, but it’s undeniable that he will force Hillary to spend way more time and money defending states that should be Dem gimmes. Cruz. Can. Not. Do. That.
Now, there may not be a “nefarious motive” behind their actions, but if the end result leads to a Madam President, does it matter what motivates them?
