And according to many of the pundits talking about this, they say the top donors in the GOP party DON'T want Trump to be their nominee.
So, they can actually force a brokered convention to keep him from becoming the nominee.
And that way, if they wind up with a brokered convention, they can choose someone else, say Cruz, who is a Senator and has some semblance of validity to speak of.
Or Rubio, who is also someone who has won an election to the Senate before.
However, the fear is that if the GOP's top donors force a brokered convention just to prevent Trump from becoming the nominee, he will break away and run as an Independent, and take his 25% of the GOP voters with him.
On the other hand, even if Trump somehow doesn't become their nominee before they hold their convention, Trump may run as an Independent anyway!
Trump has the entire GOP party by the short hairs, and they don't like it.
That's the reality they are dealing with now.
This is the problem party politics has, having to deal with a cult of personality built up around a popular ideologue.
By just threatening to run last year, Trump had them all shaking in their boots.
Now that he is the front runner in all of their polls, they have to stop him, but they have to do it in such a way as to make it appear like it wasn't such a bad thing for them to keep him from being their nominee and taking over their party.
Trump's crowds at his political rallies have a mob-like personality of their own.
He whips them in to a frenzy by saying outrageous shit.
Just like Hitler did in the early 1930s, during his rise to power.
Many people much older than me said that it could never happen here, here in America.
Yet, we're witnessing it take shape before our very eyes today.
