Third Party? Anti-Trump Forces In Recruiting Mode
Post# of 65629
A palace coup, led by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney,
reportedly is brewing in the GOP to stymie Donald Trump’s effort to win the White House. The Washington Post reported Saturday veteran consultants and conservative leaders actively are seeking to draft an independent candidate.
The short list consists of freshman Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Sasse of late has been dropping hints on Twitter, while Kasich, who suspended his White House run May 4, was the Republican candidate touting himself as the only grown-up on the stage during the presidential debates. The Post said Romney has approached both men.
