Trump seems to trust Priebus, and Sean Spicer put out a statement that this won’t happen. Could they be playing dirty behind the scenes? Possibly, but I think they know they will lose the election in a landslide and fracture the party permanently. Maybe they are willing to do that to maintain status quo, but they know they will lose a lot of voters. Therefore, I think establishment folks like Ryan might let Trump get it and do what they have been doing, like having sitting governors not attend his rallies or having senators and congressmen run to the media and repudiate him. I think there is a segment that would rather have Hillary win and try again in 4 years than have Trump. I’m sure that’s not true of all of them, but there is definitely the Romney/Ryan/Bush wing that I think wants that.
Well then, their time out in the Desert will be Decades...
