I don’t buy the argument that the GOPe is planning on throwing a lateral to Hillary.
If that were the case, and they truly HATED Trump, don’t you think they would step back and let him run his course?
Why continue to fight? Why bother? They are most definitely crooked and evil, that we can agree on (I don’t agree Ted is a surrogate of the GOPe, I believe they are choosing the lesser of two evils, Trump/Cruz, much as we have had to do for decades now) however they are not stupid.
These are not amateurs, they know exactly what they are doing, the one thing they hate more than conservatives in the lack of power. They know that Trump would doom the party in the general.
Any honest person can see that. Look at his disapproval numbers. It will not contain itself on the Presidential ticket either. Its up and down, we’re talking major disaster level routing at the polls. The Senate and even the House would be in play...
Trump may have wonderful intentions (once again, where I disagree, I think he says whatever he can to get elected) but facts are facts. His 70% disapproval rating is record shattering. It would be great if people believed him and loved him, but they don’t. He’s won elections marginally in almost every one, and really has yet to capture a true majority.
The crowded field played to his advantage.
But now that it has narrowed, that 70% disapproval will come showing its face, and he’s going to struggle going forward.
Come the general, if he wins the nomination, it will show its face again. Only then, its going to have a lasting impact and lead to our destruction.

In this post it should have been 70% of the 53%, not the other way around, as I inadvertently stated.
