Michael Medved was nattering that there would be a showdown at the convention if Trump wins in a blowout. He suggested the delegates would put forward Paul Ryan. He wasn't kidding. Does he know something??

If the republican party did that, not only would they lose the presidential election, but Paul Ryan would lose his congressional seat, and quite a few other republicans too, would end up out of office.

I agree. It was a bizarre rant by Medved because he hates Trump who he thinks is soooo low class.

Mark Levin called him a working-class billionaire last night. He meant it as a great thing; but I think people just miss what people who grow up in Queens - no matter their economic status - sound like. He sounds like a sane version of Chris Walken.

If the Republican leaders pull something like that to take the decision away from the electorate, it will spell the final collapse and demise of the GOP.

I suspect they won’t do that but will play it safe and try to undermine Trump’s campaign from the inside so that Hillary wins. Like when McCain’s advisors fed negative stories about Palin to the press. Then later on they start appearing on TV and we can see they’re so RINO they’re indistinguishable from a Democrat.

Trump’s real problem would be how much GOP party support does he accept and how much does he try to use his own insiders. He’s indicated he wants to use the GOP’s money to fund his campaign in the general, not his own. That will be a problem and he will probably expose his campaign’s inner workings to more trojan RINOs that way.
