Republican Leaders Map a Strategy to Derail Donald Trump
NY Times ^ | March 19, 2016 | ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTIN

Posted on 03/19/2016 4:20:56 PM PDT by Innovative

Republican leaders adamantly opposed to Donald J. Trump’s candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin’s April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Mr. Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.

Recognizing that Mr. Trump has seized a formidable advantage in the race, they say that an effort to block him would rely on an array of desperation measures, the political equivalent of guerrilla fighting.

Will they be out there blocking the freeways with the illegal aliens, racists, communists and anarchists tomorrow?

Its a trial balloon.

Trump haters can’t even decide whether to go with Cruz or Kasich.

Pathetic.

I know. I stopped listening to him years ago. Other than the occasional dial hopping and come across him and listen for a minutes. And it doesn’t take long for me to keep searching the dial. I usually listen to local talk shows when I’m in the car.

They publically LAY OUT the Plan?

What idiots.

No wonder Trump keeps beating them senseless.

Well, if they must go for it, then go for it, and include as many other traitors as they can entice.

They’ve thrown a few hundred million dollars into the Stop Trump bid and came up short.

Now they have this fantasy of a third party to beat both Hillary and Trump in November.

Not buying it. Like they say in Texas, they’re all hat and no cattle.

And if they could really beat Trump, it would already be a fact and they wouldn’t flap their lips about it.

The Cheap Labor Express has every intention of denying the citizens the ability to retain the rule of law and their country.
They will block us from electing anyone who would secure the border or enforce the laws.
In every election since the last amnesty, the GOP has nominated an amnesty candidate.
They intend to do it again.

“Republicans For Hillary.”

Well - If the path the GOPe are on forces Trump out or hands the nomination to someone with fewer delegates that Trumr they are going to see the republican vote in November drop to 50 million.

Just for comparison, in 2012 Mitt pulled in a little over 60 million in his loss to Obama’s 65 million.

Word on the street has it that the elite leadership is trying to spring Dwayne Camacho from prison.

He best represents the GOPe vision of what would appeal to the Republican base.

Give it up good old boys unless you want mutiny on the Republican Party. Hillary will be the next president if you keep up your petty shenanigans.

It will fail, just as everything thrown at Trump has failed. He will be our next President.

William Kristol is shameless in his quest to thwart Donald Trump......Kristol, a member of the self-anointed intelligentsia, is small potatoes when it comes to doing anything extra special or have name recognition...yet he is determined to stop a man the nation has said they want as their next president. Why doesn't William/Bill run for POTUS, he seems to know exactly how to run the country or at least what is good for the people.

Someone please post the names of these buffoons who want open borders, government run education, a one-sided Supreme Court, their chairmanships, cushy jobs, government largess going into political pockets......Kristol is a pimple on the backside of the Trump elephant and it is driving him Mad! MAD I SAY, MADDDD!!!!
