Greg Sargent points out a serious flaw in the anti-Trump Republicans’ plan to bring about a contested convention:

Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic caucuses in Maine by a double digit margin. The Vermont senator claimed his eighth Democratic nomination victory and needs to beat Hillary Clinton in the Michigan primary on Tuesday to stand a chance of winning the nomination. Should the Jewish, anti-establishment, holistic man from a humble background, whom the media desperately tries to ignore, win on Tuesday, then according to recent predictions, America and the world would #FeelTheBern and all will become one.

It was a primary "Super Saturday" of surprises for the presidential candidates after Bernie Sanders took two of three contested states in the Democratic race, winning the caucuses of Nebraska and Kansas leaving Hillary the only Democratic primary of the night in Louisiana, while in the Republican race Ted Cruz unexpectedly tied with Donald Trump, winning the smaller half of the night's four nominating contests, in Kansas - where Trump had been leading in the polls - and Maine, while the Donald won the bigger states of Louisiana and Kentucky, holding onto his lead in the presidential race ev

The eleventh Republican debate didn’t tell us much that we didn’t already know, and it reconfirmed most of the bad things we knew about the different candidates. Trump was confronted with a number of his position changes, and did his best to spin them as evidence of his “flexibility.” He and Rubio spent a significant amount of time trying to shout over each other.

Only in America's so-called democracy could a proven "loser" so vehemently and shamelessly condemn a current "winner" with the goal of overturning 'we, the people's' prospective leader in favor of himself. In the latest (and most desperate) action from the neocon establishment, CNN reports Romney has instructed his closest advisers to explore the possibility of stopping Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (by revising rules for instance).
