Just throwing out something here. Has anyone considered the possibility that this story was concocted by the GOPe? Maybe I give them too much credit, but what an ingenious plan. Plant the story enough so that someone like the NE puts it out there. Half the R’s and conservatives automatically believe it, the other half immediately blame Trump. One step closer to a brokered convention, where they can install their guy, Paul Ryan.
That is a definite possiblity.
I do not see the timing of this helping Trump at all. He is heading into states that are GOOD for him.
Would have been much more beneficial earlier.
