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

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
