Top Republican leadership, its backers and its major fund raisers yesterday ganged up against the party’s presidential front-runner Trump – who has suddenly caught the imagination of the party’s mass base in less than nine months of joining politics with the sole objective of preventing him to be its presidential nominee. The Cruz/Kasich ticket would have to make sure it does not get on the ballot in leaning red states like North Carolina, Indiana, and Missouri, just in case they swing one or two of them Clinton’s way.
“I don’t believe Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton really care about the American people”.
“We encourage all former Republican candidates not now supporting Trump to unite against him and encourage all candidates to hold their delegates on the first ballot”.
A new analysis finds that Democrats will have a chance of winning back the House if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz is the Republican presidential nominee.

While protesters are likely to start preparing for Trump’s arrival, some of his independent-minded fans are already registering as Republicans so they can vote for him, said Harmeet Dhillon of San Francisco, the state vice chairwoman.
Pressed to elaborate on the threat, Clovis said, “I think the consequences are going to be that what they think the Republican Party is is not going to be what the Republican Party is after the convention”. Somehow, we doubt angry mobs of disenfranchised Trump backers will be content standing behind police tape anxiously waving “Don’t Dump Trump” signs. Clinton (55% to 36%) and Sanders (53% to 36%) lead the reality show star by 19 and 17 points, respectively, while Cruz loses to Clinton by 31 points (61% to 30%).
There are 22 remaining states and 1,002 delegates.
