@zeynep probably, but then they lose on their terms

@ZekeJMiller But they can take the party back in 2020 even if Trump is nominated and (if) loses general. Blow it up: no telling.

@ncweaver I suspect they would commit better suicide if they let him take the nomination. They wrestle away: they lose this year and 2020+. -
@ncweaver Motivating the R base: feeling R leadership has betrayed them, especially economically, and voicelessness. Will add fuel to fire.

@zeynep trump seems like a reasonable guy. i'm sure he'll quietly leave the stage if they take the nom from him at convention. -
@jefflowen Exactly. They'll lose 2016, but also lose the party for much longer if they force push him off. They should be planning for 2017.

@ncweaver But also short-sighted. The (handling) of the Beer Hall Putsch gave Hitler a longer-term victory, claim to victimhood, etc.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
