GOP leaders roll out 100-day strategy to derail Trump

By Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin NEW YORK TIMES MARCH 19, 2016

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.

10. This is good news

It's always good to have a divided enemy, but we need to be careful not to do it to ourselves. I'm pulling for Bernie but will gladly switch to Hillary, and if your candidate doesn't get the nomination, you can be bummed out for a while, but you need to "democrat up" (instead of man/woman up) to make sure that we do defeat whatever divided enemy we're up against.
