Civil war has erupted in the Republican Party, and the Republican establishment is in full-blown panic mode. Donald Trump was never supposed to get this far, and now party insiders are scrambling to come up with a plan to block him from securing the nomination before the convention. After winning seven states on Super Tuesday, you would think that the Republican Party would be rallying around Trump and preparing for a tough general election battle with Hillary Clinton. Instead, the goal is now to stop Trump at all costs.
It is amazing to me that a candidate that is openly at war with the Republican Party establishment, Fox News, Glenn Beck and a whole bunch of other prominent conservative pundits is running away with the race for the nomination. If someone would have told me this a year ago, I never would have believed it.
But the war is far from over. Special interest groups are going to pour tens of millions of dollars into an all-out attempt to defeat Trump, and the mainstream media is going to continue to try to smear him however they can.
Normally, any candidate that was forced to endure such withering attacks would be done by now. But Trump has just continued to roll on, and his momentum appears to be unstoppable. Moving forward, the Republican establishment has four main options that it can try in an attempt to stop Trump…
#1 Marco Rubio – The establishment could put everything that they have into pumping up Marco Rubio’s failing campaign, but it might be too late. Just like Jeb Bush, Rubio doesn’t really inspire anyone, and his reputation of being robotic is well deserved. The main reason many Republicans are voting for him is because they don’t like Trump or Ted Cruz. Rubio is already way behind in the delegate race, and if he doesn’t win his home state of Florida later this month, it is hard to see any possible way that he is going to be able to block a Trump nomination.
#2 Mitt Romney – Have you noticed that Mitt Romney has started to make a lot of waves over the past week or so? There are reports that suggest that if Marco Rubio does not win the state of Florida that Rubio will drop out and Romney will enter the race. At that point it would be difficult for Romney to accumulate the delegates that he would need to clinch the nomination before the convention, but if he could win big states such as New York, California and New Jersey, Romney could keep Trump from getting the delegates that he needs to secure the nomination ahead of time. That would lead to a brokered convention, and such a scenario would almost certainly mean that Romney would come out as the nominee.
