they concede he very well might win.
Republicans brace for long battle against Donald Trump - CNNPolitics.com
Former Virginia Republican Rep. Tom Davis, who served as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said there is real concern among GOP political strategists working on House and Senate races about a Trump nomination.
With such a lightening rod presidential nominee, down-ballot candidates would face tremendous pressure to turn their backs on Trump in order to win their respective elections, Davis said.
"You run your own race, you target independents, and Republicans who are likely to defect — you try to hold them. It's the only thing you can do," said Davis, who personally believes it would be "very difficult" for Trump to become the party's nominee. "It's difficult to disown the top of your ticket ... but you need to put distance between yourself and the top of the ticket."
WOW! The GOP should prepare for historical losses if Trump wins the nomination. This is very funny!
