Republicans have tried to
derail Donald Trump by spending millions on TV ads pointing to his insensitive
comments about women. Now they are trying the ultimate Hail Mary pass:
A group of conservatives is
discussing a third-party alternative, hoping for someone — anyone — to emerge
to prevent Trump from becoming president. It is a move that is unheard-of in a
party that normally rallies behind its presumptive nominee, and it illustrates
just how desperate some Republicans are, nearly a week after Trump knocked his
last challenger from the race.
“To those Trumpsters who are
criticizing us and saying we have a duty to vote for the Republican Party, I
would say, at what cost?” said Deborah DeMoss Fonseca, spokeswoman for
Conservatives Against Trump, the group mounting an independent candidacy.
