Of course irrespective of whether you believe Trump incites violence among supporters he knows are already riled up, he’s unquestionably correct to say that no cadre of politicians commiserating in a smoke-filled backroom should be allowed to subvert the will of the electorate.
***********************
Two days ago, courtesy of Bloomberg, we outlined
how the (extremely perturbed and after Tuesday completely decimated)
GOP establishment would go about stealing the Republican nomination from
Donald Trump.
“Although everyone now jokes about just how unstoppable the
Trump ‘juggernaut’ has become, the establishment isn’t called ‘the
establishment,’ for nothing,” we said. “Trump may have proven remarkably
adept at whipping certain sectors of the electorate into a veritable
frenzy, but he himself will tell you that he’s no politician.” The
bottom line: he may be a wily, braggadocious, billionaire but he doesn’t
know all of the tricks of the political trade. That could - and likely
does - mean that Republicans are already working behind the scenes to
figure out how to rob him at the last minute.
There’s all sorts of ways for crafty, career politicians to
rig the delegates and use procedural maneuvers at the convention to
undercut Trump and you can read the full account here,
but suffice to say, a Trump nomination is far from a sure thing and the
more he attacks the establishment the more willing they’ll be to use
any means at their disposal to stop him.
But Trump has a ...er... trump card.
