It's his clarion call to the GOP establishment to get their shit together and stop this guy before it's too late.

amongst the establishment, he's still kingmaker--I don't think he has any thought that he'll convince Trumpians that they're wrong

But what can the establishment do? Seems they've been trying (spending $$, stacking debates, Fox attacking Trump, etc) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:51 10
- I honestly wonder if the party leaders need to say "We won't support Trump in the general and will run a third party candidate" - ty97 Mar 3, 08:54 4
  - They would no longer be party leaders if they aligned themselves with a non-GOP candidate. I think they have to prioritize keeping the GOP intact. - mara Mar 3, 09:09
  - I think you'd see a much more conservative group do that. Like Ben Sasse's non-support - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:56 2
    - Whatever happens, the Halperin book on this year is going to be fascinating I expect -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:05 1
      - That dude is sporting the biggest boner a reporter can. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:06
- At bare minimum, it's setting up a protective wall against Trump for those vulnerable senators. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:54 4
  - Unless the party disavows Trump as their nominee, there is no firewall. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 08:55 3
    - There might not be a big one; but anything could help. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 08:58 2
      - I guess, I just don't see it working. - ty97 Mar 3, 09:04 1
        
        I'd expect a lot of the following quotes "Donald Trump is the nominee for President. I'm focused on my candidates for Senate / the House." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:05
And try to influence borderline Christies who might want to jump on the "inevitability" train. -- nm - Ender Mar 3, 08:50
