Gaming out just how screwed the GOP is, no matter who wins the nomination
Let's just assume,
as many believe, that Donald Trump will clean up during the GOP's Super Tuesday contests, leaving him as the Republican candidate mostly likely to lead the delegate count heading into the GOP convention. That leaves two possible scenarios.
The first is that he actually secures the nomination. The second is that even though he leads the delegate count, party leaders manage to steal the nomination from under him through
a brokered convention.
Let's just say this—the GOP is screwed no matter which of those two scenarios plays out.
If Trump wins the nomination, we will witness a GOP at war with itself as it tries
to assemble a party platform at the convention. That should be fun since Trump breaks with the GOP party line on everything from free trade and entitlement programs to eminent domain and energy policy.
