So GOP big brass showing the base how it still intends to run things?

If any 3rd party forms, it won’t be because of Trump.

a vote for a 3rd party is simply an adult version of a temper tantrum. it was for Perot in 1992. it was for Nader in 2000.

the problem with any protest vote like those is that in the one-in-a-billion chance that the 3rd party candidate wins, he wouldn’t be able to govern. the House and Senate will still be 100% GOP and ‘RAT. well, 99.8% if you account for Bernie Sanders. both parties will be pissed off. there will be nobody to push the presidential agenda in congress.

so it may feel good to vote for an outsider, but nothing good can come from it.

i’m not saying to hold your nose and vote for a RINO either. i’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the shaft in the process. in fact, i don’t know what the right thing to do will be if it’s The Bitch vs. JEB. this is the problem with politics. it’s always an either/or proposition and that leave no wiggle room when both options are horrific. i don’t have an answer yet. as much as i would want to write in Sarah Palin’s name, that would be a temper tantrum too... a wasted vote in a swing state.
