Carson: If Nomination Taken From Trump, GOP Faces ‘Absolute Destruction’

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said if Republicans attempt to take the nomination from Donald Trump, the consequence will be “absolute destruction.”
Discussing the possibility of a brokered GOP convention Carson said: “I can tell you this, if there are shenanigans, if it’s not straightforward, all of those millions of people that Donald Trump has brought into the arena are not going to stay there, and the Republicans are going to lose. And it’s going to be not only the presidency, but it’s going to be the Senate, and it could even be the House,. It’s going to be absolute destruction. So the real question is, are the establishment Republicans — and they say they don’t exist, they say there’s no such thing, yeah right — are they more concerned about maintaining control and their positions? Or are they more concerned about America? And if they’re more concerned about America, they will not blow up a straight-forward process, they will let the will of the people prevail.”

I think it is too late for that. Even if Trump gets the nomination, nothing will ever be the same again in any political party. We are seeing a real sea change here. What is easy to miss because of Trump's outstanding popularity is that the Democrats are seeing similar convulsions. Nobody is going to trust the Republicans quite the same way ever again. And since the Republicans are nothing more than the Siamese twin of the Democrats in the Two Party System, the Democrats are going to suffer similarly.

If you look at it closely, you see that Trump is really the man that Obama was engineered to be, but never once became, a genuine candidate with real principles and the experience and certitude to hope to bring them to fruition.

If we can get rid of the state run primary elections, nobody will have to go through this again. The nominations will be run by the parties and there will be no more room for lying and fooling around, they will have to make real guarantees to bring good candidates into the parties and keep them there. If not for the primaries, Trump would have had more bargaining power with the Republican Party, he could have waited and taken his case to the public for the actual election as an independent if the Republicans did not look like they were going to deliver him the nomination. He had to make a deal and look how they are treating him.
