The case for dumping Trump at the convention

Of course since Mike Murphy worked for Jeb Bush, you Trumpettes are free to take everything he says with a truckload of salt. I imagine if Trump's speeches contain more damaging material and if his fundraising does not improve, that will increase the likelihood of success for the Dump Trump movement.

As of now I have no idea what will happen.

As a non-partisan independent I am not saying this because I am actually a conservative, but I think Hillary is both unlikable and unelectable. I think there is huge wisdom in the anyone but trump concept in that I believe Cruz, Rubio and maybe kasich could have beaten Hillary had trump not totally splintered and obliterated the GOP.

There still might be hope to keep Hillary out of office if they choose to run a viable candidate that is "anyone but trump". This is why I am weary to put more money down at this point on Hillary because the GOP could run an empty suit rather than trump and possibly win.

I am not sure if there is a third party candidate that would make a difference at this point.  You would think the libertarians would have more support with the gun issues but I think a lot of the emotional gun rhetoric came from foxnews and the GOP to recruit freedom lovers from the libertarian party because they knew the GOP has been in a complete tail spin.   The problem is that perhaps trump was able to capitalize on this in rounding up these types
