One by One, They're Bailing Out
Donald Trump will hold a fundraiser tomorrow in the Arizona house where Barry Goldwater announced his 1964 presidential campaign. Ahead of the event, Philip Rucker called the late senator’s widow to ask what she thought of the presumptive Republican nominee.“Ugh or yuck is my response,” Susan Goldwater Levine said. “I think Barry would be appalled that his home was being used for that purpose. Barry would be appalled by Mr. Trump’s behavior — the unintelligent and unfiltered and crude communications style.
And he’s shallow — so, so shallow.’”
Levine said she generally finds Trump’s candidacy “crazy and inappropriate”: “I can't believe we are doing this as a country," she said of Trump. “Barry was so true to his convictions and would never be issuing these shallow, crude, accusatory criticisms of the other party or the other person."

And the plot thickens:
Dozens of Republican convention delegates are hatching a new plan to block Donald Trump at this summer’s party meetings, in what has become the most organized effort so far to stop the businessman from becoming the GOP nominee.
The delegates are angered by Trump’s recent comments on gun control, his racial attacks on a federal judge and his sinking poll numbers. They are convinced that Trump is an insufficiently conservative candidate and believe they will find enough like-minded Republicans within the next month to change party rules and allow delegates to vote for whomever they want, regardless of who won their state caucus or primary.

I understand their desperation.
Trump is going to take the GOP on a death ride.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

And the plot gets thicker even more:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two groups opposed to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump were among the first to receive permits to gather at next month’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, city records show.
Others include the League of Women Voters; a group that aids immigrants; and Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for picketing at funerals using anti-gay chants and signs because it believes God is punishing the U.S. and its soldiers for defending a nation that tolerates homosexuality. Peace and anti-racism groups also got permits.

It is a ride they needed to take to re-birth what they want themselves to be, for what they have right now is not good.
