The Republican Party needs candidates to stay in the presidential race in order to force a brokered convention and deny front-runner Donald Trump the nomination, a former senior aide to President George W. Bush said Friday.
That strategy will surely alienate some of Trump's supporters, said Sara Fagen, now a partner at public affairs firm DDC. But while Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who trails Trump in the delegate count, would have a tough time against Hillary Clinton in a general election, he would keep the core of the party together, she added.
"Donald Trump fundamentally breaks the Republican Party, and it is not the same party moving forward ever again," she told CNBC's "Squawk Box." "That is a worse prospect for most Republicans than Ted Cruz or a weakened Marco Rubio or some other scenario."
Fagen said it is possible but unlikely that a Republican with "enormous stature" like 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney or House Speaker Paul Ryan would be put forward if Trump enters the Republican National Convention without the required number of delegates to lock up the nomination.

Is Sara a LESBIAN? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that she is a LESBIAN, I’m just ‘askin’, particularly given the GOP penchant to ALMOST ALWAYS find gay ‘advisers’ - so I wouldn’t be surprised if she was a ‘switch hitter’ also.
Precisely
Reagan fooled em all. He didn’t die when shot. Became more resolute

I really dont think he could break it any worse than it is already.
Basically we are just going to put the party into ‘receivership’ with The Donald running things until we can get at least one or two good cleansing enemas acomplished and see how we are feeling.
I was disappointed when Reagan chose Bush. I didn’t vote in ‘88. I voted for Perot in ‘92. I can say that I never voted for old man Bush. And I only voted once for his son.
Good! Break it so bad it can’t come back.
And they think that is a bad thing?
The endorsements just keep coming.
AMEN
And the problem is ....?
****************
My thoughts exactly..
My question is what do we call the new party?
it is the Republican Party
the party that currently controls the congress and will support the Republican president Trump
LOL!!!
“The Republican Party needs broken.”.....
Looking back in recent history, the Republican party “broke” ITSELF, Trump wasn’t even on the scene when the GOP went down the tubes. Its now time to flush the toilet and start over.
YES! Success.
"Amen" is uncalled for when the obliterated object lacks a soul to be saved.
Totally agree. The GOP "elites" remind me of the Scottish nobles in Braveheart.
“Enormous stature” Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan? Is she insane?
“Donald Trump fundamentally breaks the Republican Party, and it is not the same party moving forward ever again,”
Sounds like a plan!
She’s right. Trump holds virtually no GOP positions and, frankly, they should have stopped him from running as a GOP candidate when they had a chance. But the fact that they didn’t and couldn’t shows the whole problem with the GOP: they don’t make people stick to positions.
The GOP in theory is quite good, but virtually none of the elected legislators or anybody else adheres to the program.
Mostly they err on the side of being too accomodating to soft liberal positions. But the GOP is also completely lost when confronting somebody like Trump, who is essentially not a conservative but a libertarian (we don’t have a nihilist party yet, otherwise he’d be that).
So it all goes back to weakness at the core of the party.
