Trump has run as a Republican, but it’s not clear that he actually shares the core principles of the party.
Freeing the delegates to vote their conscience will not ensure that Trump will lose. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich, on the Republican National Convention speaking schedule.
“I joined it because I was a conservative, and I leave it for the same reason: I’m a conservative”, Will said. “I’m not a happy camper”. So there’s still an opportunity for Republicans to pull this out – with a different candidate.
