How many "true" conservatives voted for Trump?
The "establishment" is now trying to devise ways to, really, circumvent the results of the votes.
One hope, a congressman said (did not catch his name) on Chris Matthews, that the next primaries are going to be closed ones. Which means, only registered Republicans can vote.
This is what they should have had in the first place.
I've never liked open primaries. I think that only the ones who support the goals of the party should elect the candidates.
On the other hand, there was a report that about 20,000 registered Democrats in Massachusetts changed registration to Republicans and independents.
Still, they had to change registration.
