According to The Donald<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Donald Trump<\/a> took his outsider presidential campaign to the nation’s capital Monday, urging the Republican Party<\/a> to accept him as the nominee even if he falls short of the required amount of delegates. “If people want to be smart, they should embrace this movement,” he said at a news conference … \u201cIf they don’t want to be smart, they should do what they\u2019re doing now.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is not how it works.<\/p>\n

Candidates who try to intimidate the party apparatus should be widely popular and leading in the polls.\u00a0 That is not what Trump is bringing to the table<\/a>:<\/p>\n

” … Trump is on the verge of two things once thought to be impossible: winning the Republican presidential nomination, and putting Republicans\u2019 historically large House<\/a> majority in danger … Trump\u2019s remarkable rise in the GOP presidential race, and the backlash he has already provoked among the broader electorate, has suddenly raised the prospect of a large November wave against Trump and the Republicans who would share the ballot with him …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marvelous.<\/p>\n

How can the New York Republicans not be aware of this<\/a>?<\/p>\n
