New York Times: Republican Leaders Map a Strategy to Derail Donald Trump
Republican leaders adamantly opposed to Donald J. Trump’s candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin’s April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Mr. Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.
Recognizing that Mr. Trump has seized a formidable advantage in the race, they say that an effort to block him would rely on an array of desperation measures, the political equivalent of guerrilla fighting.
There is no longer room for error or delay, the anti-Trump forces say, and without a flawlessly executed plan of attack, he could well become unstoppable.

WNU Editor: If the Republican party establishment launches an independent Presidential candidate .... this will probably end the Republican Party as we know it. My prediction .... this strategy from the Republican leadership will fail, especially since many of them are now finding themselves at risk in losing their own election ....

I have misgivings about Trump. He is loud & arrogant, but so are pilots.
I rather spin the wheel.
Boehner confirmed this to me when he put down Cruz.
I would rather see the Republican party destroyed, because it has been co-opted by people like Boehner and others (Howard Prescott types). Crapitalists, RINOs and such. Better to start over with peaceful assemblies and not invite Crying Baby Boehner types.
