The irony here is that they don't want Trump but they voted for Trump. Could be buyer's remorse?
Parties shouldn't be held to suicide nominations if it becomes clear the chosen candidate is unviable. Trump has no working election machine, no fund raising apparatus, is reliant upon a "friendly" media to give him cover and is hoping the GOP not only organizes but foots the majority of the cost to run his national campaign.
That is before you talk about his tanking polling numbers.
Trumps dead weight, the GOP has every RIGHT to drop his dumb ass, but then, the GOP let him happen by not following through on campaign promises and backing people like "Jeb" so it's a problem of the party's own creation.
Republican voters are not the only ones to make severely bad choices this election cycle. England also just broke their country due to voters who had no grasp of the issues and even less of the consequences. It begs the question: just how far do you respect democracy and just how much rope do you give a populace to make ruinous decisions? If we held a referendum to launch all of the United States into outer space right now, are we obligated to build space shuttles and leave the earth and wander the cosmos Battlestar Galactica-style? Or can we expect Obama to say, "Hahahaha, guys......no."
Or...do we accept that ignorance is a natural element in democracy and accept whatever outcome results?
We'll disagree on that one, I think Brexit was a great idea and after an initial economic hit the UK will make a strong come back
Hey now! I didn't nominate this moron. I voted for Rubio.
But yeah. Way too many ambitious politicians kinda screwed us, there.

The lame RINO establishment is being voted out of power because they stabbed their constituents in the back
Nah. Renae and I are #NeverHillary and #NeverHerDonors.lol
Nothing but desperation and sour grapes.
But you go ahead and vote for Hillary, see what it gets you.

...yet only a minority think that the convention should replace him with someone who is both conservative and sane.
I think there will be a quickly squashed attempt to make trouble, and a lot of "insiders say" leaks about how everything is a mess, followed by Trump being nominated.Which doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, whose convention is it, anyway?
What do you think will happen at the convention, BTW?

I also voted for Rubio, I have a very very very hard time voting for Trump and likely won't. I think Hillary is more despicable and disgusting so I'll likely vote 3rd party in protest of the current nominees.
I also voted for Rubio. I also won't be voting for Trump in November. Nor will I vote for Clinton. The first time since 1980 I am unable to vote for either candidate from the major parties for President. How sad is that?
I didn't vote for Trump, and I know the OP didn't either.

Trump got about 45% of the vote, when all was said and done.
So, basically, he's managed to keep the portion of the GOP base who supported him in the primary.... and that's about it.
...yet only a minority think that the convention should replace him with someone who is both conservative and sane.
Then why did Trump win the primary???
Nope, but a majority did. That's how he got the most delegates.
