It's the only way within the power of the American people as a whole to get rid of Trump.

the more Trump is exposed as the corrupt criminal he is, the more the GOP will suffer.

Going after Trump is the election.

you think that if the people who voted for Trump knew 100% of the dirt on him, rather than 70, 80, or 90% of it, as they did before the election, it would make a difference?

Going after Trump at the ballot box by nominating an electable candidate is the only practical way to get rid of Trump. If we stay united and focused on that, we can indeed win. If we go off in a dozen different directions, the constant harping will just produce scandal fatigue in the mushy middle that we need to unseat someone who may well be presiding over a still-robust looking economy.

Trump won the GOP nomination by driving his opponents crazy. He'd love to do the same thing to us.

who just had doubts about Hillary, will have enough doubts about Trump when he shown to be a traitorous criminal.

And BTW Hillary only lost through voter suppression and cheating.

will gladly vote against anybody we nominate.

As for voter suppression and cheating, what makes you think they won't come back bigger and stronger this time around? We need an electable candidate and steadfast unity.

And many who voted for Trump were persuaded to just vote against Hillary.
One could say without the Comey fiasco, Hillary would have won by the percentage she needed.
