The GOP’s Nuclear Option to Stop Donald Trump: How to get your own unelected Presidency
The first line of defense for establishment Republicans hoping to keep Donald Trump from carrying their party’s banner this fall is to prevent him from winning the delegates in the remaining primaries this spring.
If that fails, the next plan is to deny him a win at the GOP convention in Cleveland by peeling away pledged delegates on the second or third round of balloting.
And if that fails, a group of Republicans are readying a nuclear option: running a third-party alternative in just a handful of critical swing states in order to block both Trump and likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from gaining the necessary 270 electoral votes required to claim the White House.

Repubes are terrified by what they see when they look in the mirror. Trump is the quintessential Repube, with all the shallow, crude, greedy, hateful, fear-driven parts of full display, glaring brightly in the media lights. No wonder they hate themselves and are doing their damnedest to pretend Trumpenstien is someone else's tWisTeD niGhtmAre. But he's not. He's Repube through and through, right to the rotten mean-spirited core. No fooling.
