      1. There's been some chatter about a convention coup but I think it's almost certainly not going to happenhttps://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/740263428770664448 …

      2. We went through convention coup talk before & the collective action problem of how to pull it off remains.

      3. Ted Cruz is only plausible coup alternative & he'd have as many general election problems as Trump, plus sundered party.

      4. More fundamentally, a convention coup would tear the party in half. It's already badly fraying but coup would create absolute split.

          5. A split party, with Trump now working to defeat GOP, would suffer even more than a party with Trump as nominee. So: no coup

          This seems to me a benefit. Portion of GOP is now toxic beyond repair. For party to have any future hope, they need it excised.

          Let's see whether people who have shown disdain for long term thinking in policy will embrace it in politicking

          maybe that's what they want? Cut off the racist/decaying limb and court Latinos + conservative Clinton-esque independents

          incomprehensible move hasn't simply been: signal acceptance of populist line, work to polish edges and unite party factions

          sure you might lose the election, but it's a sensible narrative that preserves cohesion and a rationale for future campaigns
