The Horse Sense Blog compares the nonsense in today’s news with good ol’ fashioned horse sense…
Here’s the Nonsense: When the GOP leadership had the candidates sign loyalty pledges it was a way to guarantee that all Republicans would work together to win in 2016.
Here’s the Horse Sense: The GOP leadership hoped the loyalty pledge would run Trump out of the race. When it didn’t work, and nothing else is working, they are starting to panic. They are considering desperate measures if they can’t get their candidate nominated.
With GOPe (GOP establishment) candidates having a hard time getting traction against the likes of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson, the GOPe leadership that control the party have tried everything they can think of to stop their support. This is especially true of Trump because he’s in the lead and tearing down the establishment and political correctness at every turn.
While this is not unusual for the GOPe, one has to wonder just how far they’ll go to stop non-establishment candidates from winning in 2016. Are they so against the candidates supported by the grassroots voting base that they would actually prefer a Democrat win if a GOPe candidate can’t get the nomination?
Garth Kant at WND is reporting that the GOPe is so concerned that it’s being suggested that if Donald Trump were to get the nomination they should run a 3rd party candidate like Mitt Romney to kill Trump’s chances of winning the White House.
