This is a fascinating read, especially the bit about the McConnell and Senate Pub plans to just dump the Trump if he is nominated, and indeed trash him if need be, to save themselves.

The most curious thing stated in the article is that allegedly LePage, the man who just endorsed Trump and said he'd be just great, two weeks ago tried to get the Pub governors together to blast Trump whom he thought then would be a disaster. What the F happened in two weeks to LePage? Or is there more than one LePage out there? Color me confused.

Very interesting read - thanks for posting!

GOP gets a lot of flak for not being able to organize a viable opposition to Trump but IMHO the problem may not be with the party, but with the available candidates themselves! Romney and others are disappointed that others won't coalesce around Rubio, failing to see that Rubio makes Obama in 2008 look experienced. In a normal election year, Rubio would be one of the also-runs, waiting for another 8 years to mount a serious challenge, while proving himself in the business world. Similarly, in a normal election year, Cruz would be a fringe right candidate, ignored by most. I won't even waste time commenting on Carson. And while Kasich is the only viable option and would probably make a decent President, he gets forgotten in this Reality TV election, and is even asked to step aside for a rookie?!

Is it any wonder that the GOP is confused?
