I find it hard to believe that a party is a complete hostage to a candidate who is not socialized, and that they cannot abide.
Couldn’t the Republicans just wash their hands of Trump by reason of some of his public statements, actions positions, business practices or partners, etc.
It’s not that easy, politically. The RNC could re-write the rules to get rid of Trump anytime they wish. But what does that end up doing to all the Trump supporters out there?
In many situations in life “I don’t like you” very easily becomes “You violated this rule, and this is unacceptable”.
Trump can’t keep his mouth or ego in check and I can’t believe he hasn’t violated one or another prime requirement for a large organization such as this.
They might make a cost benefit analysis and figure it’s just as good to tell Trump to run on his own third party, as try to square all these circles.
What would happen if a candidate just said: “We don’t need the Jews”, or We don’'t really want a black country do we?" There is some point at which it must be done. I’m just wondering what that point would be.
Can’t recall just what happened with Duke but they must have been scared. Then they thought this was so out of it it could never happen again.
Then they would fall flat on their ass in the general election, as all of the Trump supporters and all of the people who think that kind of thing is dishonest either stay home or vote against the Republican candidate.
I really think they already think that and are ready to bail on the Rupubs. My uncle is for Trump. He thinks “this time it’s different. It was that damned Bush and Cheney. And Obama too”
