These are the Bush’s, the Koch Brothers, and other sore losers like Lindsay Graham, and others who just cannot accept that an outsider is capable of gaining the party’s nomination. I hate to say this; however, if these dump Trump groups orchestrated by Kristol and his crew pull this BS, instead of picking up their marbles and going home, you are going to see riots in the conventional hall that will make anything Black Lives Matter has done to date. Trump has a great deal of grassroots support, conservative or otherwise, he is for the American people, and he won the primaries and enough delegates for the nomination. I cannot believe this group of pansies like Jeb, Lindsey, and money men like the Koch Brothers, are trying to take this victory away from the American voters. These folks need to grin and bare it, don’t vote for Trump in November, or if they are really committed, do what the Japanese do when they are dishonored.
