Should Republican leadership set aside all primary and caucus results, set aside Donald Trump, and start fresh at the Cleveland convention to select a Presidential and a Vice Presidential nominee? This could quite possibly split the GOP and make a Democrat Presidential victory more probable, but it would at least spare the Republicans the dishonor of nominating Trump. And yes, it would be possible within the party's rules. If Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell were to decide on such a course of action, a Presidential campaign season already the strangest in my experience would enter more uncharted territory. Your thoughts?
**** no. Go all in behind Trump baby. Let that buffoon burn the GOP down, this is a repeat of how the Whigs died, the GOP needs to die. I'm no longer caring about saving that **** hole of a party. Let it ****ING BURN.
Would you then support the establishment of a new party?
I doubt the GOP leadership wants Trump to win the election. My guess is they think it isn't worth the damage it could do to the party. At the same time they don't want to lose all Trump's supporters.
My guess is they will give Trump lukewarm support while condemning the more outlandish things he says, accept the loss this election, obstruct Hillary while she is in office, continue to investigate her and have hearings, and regroup for the 2020 election.
I would personally like to see the Democrats and the Republicans both splinter. The two-party system has led us to this point, why should we follow it any further?

Single member district elections will almost always produce two party politics.

Well then, we'll have to fix that too.
There's the matter of the Constitution.

I know it's a really big change, and it's almost certainly never going to happen, but I do think that we need to overhaul some aspects of our elections, such as the electoral college. The founders made a good system, but they never expected it to be perfect. Hence, a more perfect union.

It would certainly fit my position on the quality of the candidate. I am not sure it would strengthen the trust in the party among the trumpites and that is seemingly a rather large number.
Really? I actually like the Elctoral College.
The GOP doesn't need to die. It just needs to be destroyed, then, like a phoenix, rise from the ashes and become again what it once was.
Trust would have to be won another day.
Against more entrenched antagonism and anger than this time, it might be suspected
