It's Too Late To Drop Trump From The Ticket. Good.

Despite the dozens of top Republicans now calling on Donald Trump to drop out of the race, it’s almost certainly too late—one of many reasons why so many wantedto pick an alternate nominee back in July. Ballots have been printed. Early voting has started. That ship sailed long ago.

Which is just as well. Those of us who opposed Trump from the beginning, who said for months that he would be a disastrous candidate who would hurt both the party and the conservative movement to a degree not seen in modern history, tried everything. We opposed him during the primary, getting behind any candidate who could potentially stop him. We opposed him at the convention, trying to unbind the delegates and therefore allow for the selection of a new nominee. We warned everyone who would listen, from elected officials, delegates, and RNC members to ordinary voters, how much harm would come from a Trump nomination.

And we were ignored, silenced, and in some cases even threatened. Profit was put above principle. And those who remained steadfast in their #NeverTrump convictions sought out third-party and independent candidates they could support with a clear conscience, writing off the GOP presidential ticket as a lost cause.

And now, a month before the election, those same members of Republican leadership who embraced Trump over Cruz, the last best chance to defeat him in the primaries, and who applauded the efforts to silence all dissent at the RNC, are finally looking for a way to evict the orange menace? I don’t think so. You had your chance.

You now own him. You will have to answer to the voters, for why you embraced him for months when he could have been stopped. Logistically, it’s too late. And in any case, those who once supported Trump against members of their own party deserve to reap what they have sowed.
