Welcome back 4 14 Republican Leaders are trying to come up with a strategy to stop donald trump and this could lead to a dramatic floor fight at the Republican Convention next summer this also raises the odds that trump could run as an independent. According to the Washington Post this meeting happened at the washington restaurant some of these are leaders the thinking trump nomination would be a disaster. What some republicans are talking about doing what absolutely up and we come to expect from political conventions. What they envision would be the kind of rally coronation that they have become but a desperate floor fight to prevent donald trump from winning the republican nomination. It is a serious signal that the establishment is terrified of him being at the head of the ticket and they want to stop it. Many republicans think trump despite his relatively broad appeal is a dangerous candidate. He doesnt espouse conservative ideals. His plan to stop muslims of the border may be the final straw and something that republicans may not lose the white house if he became the gop nominee. It will make it difficult for republicans to maintain control of the senate. Its going to make it tough for republicans in blue and purple states to hold onto governorships. If this comes down to a brokered convention it would put a spotlight on the delegates themselves. They generally play a ceremonial role. The risk for the gop is that trump will run as an independent something he has threatened to do and that he would stealing of republican votes to act as a spoiler, ending handing the election to a democrat. Heres the problem the republicans cant win with trump is the nominee and they cant win without from trump supporters. The good news for the republicans is that this convention would get all kinds of attention. On the other hand it would show a party in disarray. In washington, fox news.
