Establishment Republicans planning ways to steal their Party's nomination

Apparently the Republican establishment in Washington is beginning to realize that Donald Trump is not going away, and his promises to upset their applecarts have a very good chance of becoming reality.  So they are plotting ways to oust Trump by parliamentary maneuvering, even if he has the requisite number of delegates to secure the Republican nomination for President.

I realize I'm just one little occasional blogger out here on the internet, and my voice doesn't carry very far, but if this were to happen, I would renounce every and all Republicans, and vote for Trump and the third party he would undoubtedly form to make his run for President.

I should note at this point that I am not a Trump supporter, I'm pretty much in the Cruz camp (with some disagreements)

For too long we conservatives have had these mealy-mouthed, platitude spewing invertebrates shoved down our throats (see McCain, John; Romney, Mitt; Dole, Robert; and yes, Bush, George W).  And we have been told that if we didn't vote for them we were really voting to elect the Democrat, and we had to be loyal.

But now, the shoe is likely to be on the other foot.  The establishment hates Trump and they hate Cruz as well, and they done their utmost to get one of theirs elected (Jeb, Kasich, Graham, Rubio, Huckabee, etc.) and they have all been rejected by the voters, and all but two have dropped out.  Those two have between them won one state primary and have less then half the delegates Trump and Cruz have earned.  So it looks like a guy the establishment doesn't like is going to be nominated, and they aren't going to support him, they aren't going to unify behind him for the sake of the party and the country, and they aren't going to vote for him.  Even though that is exactly what they have asked we conservatives to do for the last eight election cycles. 

So to all you establishment types out there who think Ryan/Boehner/McConnell/Preibus/Romney  (and I'll add Saul Anuzis for my Michigan readers) wing of the party are great guys and can put together a campaign that will drub Hillary, let me tell you something:  For too long you guys have been putting up losers against weak democrat candidates who you should have blown out of the water.  It's time for you to suck it up and support the choice of your party's voters this time around, whoever that may be.  Otherwise you will destroy whatever you think it is you have.

Yep, if they pull that one, it will be time for some popcorn to watch this clown show turn into a full-on fiasco.
