The Donald is certainly causing a bit of unrest in the GOP ranks, is he not? Karl Rove,The Koch Brothers, Mitch McConnell and other GOP establishment folks are actually considering running ads against Donald Trump if he wins the GOP nomination. Imagine, if you will the GOP establishment doing Hillary's work for her! Could we be witnessing the demise of the Grand Old Party? Hmmm.....

The post that was quoted here has been removedThat's not nearly what he said.
I expect the GOP convention will end up being a brokered convention, the first brokered Republican convention since 1948. The 'establishment' Republicans would love to see this, as it would give them a way out of this 'Trump fiasco'.

The GOP could run ads against Trump in states that are still having primaries.
I note there isn't a lot of hardball between Bernie and Hillary either for similar reasons.
