Conservative writer George Will drops out of GOP over Trump

The Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month is shaping up to be a complete disaster, with hundreds of delegates in revolt and many prominent members of the GOP forgoing the event entirely. “Make sure he loses”, Will said of Trump”.

Do you see what I mean? But a nominee? As with much else in Trump’s campaign, it’s unprecedented. Trump has denounced that as rigging the primary system and going against the will of the many voters who gave him the GOP victory.

Since that initial email, the Trump campaign has sent at least four more solicitations, including one Sunday from chief strategist Paul Manafort touting the fundraising success of the week and urging supporters to keep up the momentum.

Unruh circulated a draft of the change Friday and has been working on the other 111 members of the rules committee – but she said she has been met with some fear of retribution from Trump and the RNC against delegates who support the effort. A Politico story said the Trump campaign faced a tough time persuading national figures to speak at the convention for fear of appearing to embrace the controversial candidate. Just this past weekend, Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson – who served under George W. Bush – declared that he would be voting for Hillary Clinton, noting that “a Trump presidency is unthinkable”. He has more than 200 more delegates than he needs.

But organizers insisted that wasn’t the point, expressing confidence, as Colorado delegate Regina Thomson put it, that there are “campaigns and candidates who are already talking about the possibility”.

Ed Brookover, Trump campaign liaison to the GOP, said Sunday the defiant delegates’ chances of winning are “almost zero”.

In the meantime, Trump’s new director in OH, political veteran Bob Paduchik, offered the kind of positive perspective expected of a campaign on the move. “It’s been great, the response I’ve gotten”. In theory, Republican donors should have started to fall in line behind their candidate once Trump secured the nomination, giving him a boost in contributions.

But here we are in the general election campaign, where 7 in 10 Americans have an unfavorable view of The Donald.

The 74-year-old senator said: “My vote will in all likelihood go to Hillary Clinton”. Those 34 delegates are no longer bound to Kasich or Cruz, said Michigan GOP spokeswoman Sarah Anderson, and can vote for whomever they please. When we asked Unruh if this is dividing the party, she said she believes it’s saving the party.

George Will is no longer a Republican – and it’s all Donald Trump’s fault, the famed conservative columnist said Sunday.

By now Republicans must recognize the evolving train wreck that is Donald Trump. In so many ways he’d be a disaster for this country. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Lamb said that he’d been with Rubio Sunday, and while the two men didn’t discuss the anti-Trump efforts, “Marco does have some concerns about the way that we’re going” in the presidential race. We’ve got to get somebody who can’t be bought, and that’s the way I feel about Trump. “I told him I was seeking them out”, Booth said.
