George Will: GOP Must Stop Trump Even if He Wins Nomination

[polychronopolous]

Personally I think George is in a class of his own and amazing when it comes to talking classic baseball. Do not agree at all with this statement but respect his ability to express it.

He just sounds like an old man who is way past his times, imo.




Conservative columnist George Will is calling on the GOP to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, even if he wins the nomination.

“Donald Trump’s damage to the Republican party, although already extensive, has barely begun,” Will wrote in a new Washington Post column Saturday.

Will warns a Trump nomination would create “down-ballot carnage” that could end Republican control of the House.

“At least half a dozen Republican senators seeking reelection and Senate aspirants can hope to win if the person at the top of the Republican ticket loses their state by, say, only four points, but not if he loses by 10,” Will wrote, saying Trump would be the most unpopular nominee ever.

He calls on voters in upcoming primary states, Indiana and California, to vote for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
, to “make the Republican convention a deliberative body rather than one that merely ratifies decisions made elsewhere, some of them six months earlier.”

“A  convention’s sovereign duty is to choose a plausible nominee who has a reasonable chance to win, not to passively affirm the will of a mere plurality of voters recorded episodically in a protracted process.”

Everyone is focused on Trump vs. Hilary.

Not many are talking about how Trump's harsh language and positions are going to affect people running for Senate, House, Governors, and even local office.

It'll be ugly at the convention if WHEN the Republicans straight up rob trump... but republicans will listen to Hilary rant for a week, see how prepared/professional looking their new candidate Frank Underwood (Paul Ryan) looks, and they'll vote Repub.

It's a LONG time from June to November.  Plenty of time for Repubs to forget they once loved Trump, to fall in love with Ryan/Martinez, and for Republicans to win the election.
