    Another theory: The GOP needs Trump to actually lose a General Election fair & square before healing begins. Can't "steal" it from him.

        Trumpers will still blame us if he stays & loses. Coalition is broken, I'd rather keep the party & leave Trumpers in wilderness.

        @EricKleefeld Not just the GOP. America needs Trump to lose big democratically, so his movement is repudiated by the people.

        That's silly. There's nothing undemocratic about Trump being tossed aside at the convention.

        The problem with that is expecting rational thought out of Trumpkins.

        At least jettisoning Trump now gives the party a chance to retain their majorities in Congress & at least a small chance at prez

        ^ I subscribe to this theory. It's not enough to just 'dump Trump' Trump and his supporters must be cauterized from the Party

        any scheme with the delegates will give Trump an "out", & he's losing anyway.

        GOP has an autoimmune disease that will destroy it and leave a void that will most likely give rise to the Libertarian Party.

        The only problem w your theory is that a HUGE Trump loss would likely = loss of the House and Senate too. Far too big a price @mattklewis
