GOP leaders roll out 100-day strategy to derail Trump

GOP leaders roll out 100-day strategy to derail Trump

Republican leaders adamantly opposed to Donald Trump’s candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin’s April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.

Recognizing that Trump has seized a formidable advantage, they say that an effort to block him would rely on an array of desperation measures, the political equivalent of guerrilla war.

But should that effort falter, leading conservatives are prepared to field an independent candidate in the general election...

It's always good to have a divided enemy, but we need to be careful not to do it to ourselves.
