The Republican party defined it's rules for nominating a candidate to carry their banner into the primary and beyond. But the candidate that won in the election process, under these rules, is apparently not accepted by the party leaders and efforts are being made to repudiate him and outright deny him the legally obtained nomination.
That's the definition of betrayal, the power to change the outcome of an election so that another wins over the legally elected candidate. All the other candidates, volunteers, paid staff, investors and donors are betrayed by a very select few who can usurp a properly conducted campaign.
Is this America or some third world power broker dominated pretension?
Since the GOP is accountable to it's members I say let their unsavory, but not wholly unpopular candidate, stand for election, go down in glorious defeat but with it's integrity intact.
Later, the old GOP can disband and birth a new conservative party with different rules to suit a new reality.
At least one could have faith in the election process. Otherwise the GOP will forever be defined as inherently dishonest.
