Talk grows of replacing Trump at GOP convention
Yahoo News ^ | June 8, 2016 | Jon Ward

There is growing talk on the right of replacing Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president, and even chatter about a possible alternative.

As Trump has floundered over the past week after questioning a federal judge’s impartiality because of his Mexican ancestry, Trump’s critics within the GOP have stepped up their efforts to thwart him. Some anti-Trump conservatives, who have tried for months to recruit an independent candidate, have begun looking more closely at attempting to persuade delegates at next month’s GOP convention to nominate someone other than Trump.

“There is a rapidly moving train toward the convention to try to obstruct it at the convention. Trump in the last 72 hours has given hope to people who think it’s now possible,” said Erick Erickson, a conservative radio talk show host and one of Trump’s most resolute critics.

“He’s starting to give everybody hope that he should be stopped at the convention,” Erickson said, though he cautioned that if Trump “cleans up his act then I think that hope will go away.”

Erick Erickson, Hugh Hewitt and other Clinton surrogates are still running to the MSM and talking about stopping Trump at the Republican convention and denying him the nomination.

The MSM is all too happy to repeat these statements and use them to hurt Trump and help Hillary Clinton.

These people want Clinton to win.

I’ve never read more horsesh*t in one article before (at least since Jennifer Rubin’s latest). Trump had a triumphant week. Just because his enemies flapped their gums at 95 miles an hour in horror & revulsion to the “racism” of calling out the La Raza activist judge, doesn’t mean his support has dwindled one bit.

Erick Erickson, Hugh Hewitt and the other Clinton surrogates are pathetic sell-outs.

Trump is for American jobs. None of the other losers are. They are for Chinese jobs.

And Mexican jobs. And no borders. While the rest of the entire globe is taking advantage of America at every turn.

Enough. Trump is right.

One word for them, these bright red turncoats NEVER! The RNC follows thru on this ...payback would be sweet. At times just shocking the rat makes no difference, the rat never seems to learn the lesson.

The age old joke about the GOP is “circular firing squad”

but it is looking more like #nevertrumps are a “circle j**k “

kind of a new version of the same old thing

I sure hope the Trump camp is quietly keeping a list, sort of like Santa Claus.

I am gathering the we are going to see a steady stream of anti-Trump moves over the next few weeks leading up to the convention. These Wisconsin Republicans—Ryan, Walker, and Priebus—are scheming. GOPe has not yet accepted Trump’s win and their loss.

Consider the source - Yahoo news.

Right! Dump the People’s choice and nominate some unpopular loser.....that could not win even one State in the Primary, due to unpopularity with the voters.

A real life example of “you can’t fix stupidity”

All the Republican leaders and most of the Republican Congress and Senators....useless eaters.

The RNC despises their voters....which is suicidal....assuming the RNC aren’t actually secret Dems.

They profit from the evil “system” of tyranny and sold their souls to satan. They would have been Brietbarted long ago, or be in a basement masturbating to porn if they hadn’t sold their soul for their platform/fame/power (ALL MSM is controlled by the sodomite, psychopaths).

All these “conservatives” who promote homosexual “marriage” are irrational and evil (and trying to erase 2000 years of Christianity for paganism/islamic ethics of sodomy to destroy Western Civilization (which promotion of Vice always does). Just Laws can never promote irrational, vile uses of other human beings which remove Reason, meaning, and dignity from human beings. (Sodomizing others is using people as a Means to an End, just like slavery and baby-killing-—ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL in a JUST System.

The Marxists need to destroy the concept of mother and father in little four year olds and teach them how good sodomizing each other is (as Hugh Hewitt advocates). They also allow the buying and selling of babies —removing them from their biological parent (is good)..

All their perverted, evil “thinking” promotes Vice and as Cicero stated, you can never promote Vice in a Justice System or it will collapse it.
