I can understand the GOP leadership not trusting Trump and wanting to ensure a 'real' conservative is representing the party, but the measures they are taking, the depth and breadth of their attempts to ensure one of their own candidates does not win, is proof-positive that the Republican Party, led by the self/party-1st-servnig Washington Establishment career politicians have gone insane. Their efforts are coming across as an attempt to circumvent the will of the people in an ultimate way. Romney has completely destroyed any credibility he ever had as a 'man of the people' / NON-Washington Establishment individual, especially as he is joined now by the likes of John McCain. If there was EVER a time to abandon the GOP, allowing it to self-destruct and to build a new 2nd Major party that leaves these self-destructing, self-appointed Oligarchist rulers behind it is now.
Your whole theory depends on all of the fragmented components of the defunct republican party reuniting and coalescing around a new philosophy. That won't happen. You will end up with a weaker, smaller party with an even smaller share of the voting demographics.
