Why this is surprising to anyone is beyond me...
Of course the GOP wants to protect their members, especially the down ticket candidates...
They still think Trump is going to drive people away from voting...
Why anyone expects them to kiss Trumps ring doesn’t understand their priorities...
The GOP elicits candidates for their presidential nominee and exacts a written promise out of each one of the 17 people who entered the race, that they would not run as a third-party candidate against the GOP nominee if they themselves dropped out or didn't win.
Now the GOP is thinking about running a third-party ticket AGAINST their own nominee to thwart him from winning, which is in direct contradiction to their own demands and against the will of their registered voters?
No wonder record numbers of voters have turned out to support Trump. By supporting Trump, the GOP voters are saying that they are sick and tired of their own party playing these back-stabbing, petty games.
The GOP looks real bad doing this. Worse than they think Trump looks to the electorate.
My gut tells me Trump is going to beat the Lyin' Wicked Witch of the Left in a landslide in November. He's a proven winner, and she is a known loser. And when he does, I hope he rubs it into the faces of these arrogant GOP elites. Just desserts for them.
