RNC, Beware of the Ides of March

2060 years ago on the Ides of March as Caesar was being stabbed he cried “Et tu Brute”

Today on the eve of the Ides of March from the voters “You too RNC, Kasich, Rubio and Cruz,” is on display

Only difference is that no togas by these politicians are being worn

The reneging of their pledge to support the nominee, the voters mourn

Only difference also is that the voters are dismayed

Establishment Republicans that have failed are still trying to get their way

The troika augmented by Mitt whose pathetic, losing campaign could not the voters sway

Joined by John who against Obama lost in landslide of almost 10 million votes

Together trying desperately to build around the White House an anti Trump vote

After years of failure of the Red establishment it probably should come as no surprise

That party leaders are terrified there will be no Trump demise

Time for the RNC to get over it and accept this simple easily understood fact

The voters are angry and want this country to take a new tact

The RNC needs to start listening to the voters’ voices

Time to demand that those still running accept and support the voters’ choices

There are 150 superdelegates that should go to the candidates in the same proportion as the primary votes were cast

If the RNC instead has them voting antiTrump and his nomination is lost, the outrage on the RNC will be more powerful than an atomic blast

A brokered nominee will have about as much chance of winning as winning Powerball

As millions of Trump supporters will sadly stay home in the fall

This attempt by the RNC to the will of voting Reds circumvent hopefully will be rendered moot

If on the Ides of March Trump takes Ohio and Florida causing Kasich and Rubio to halt their election pursuit

Even with the superdelegate puppets against him, Trump should enter the convention floor

With needed number of delegates to be selected and finally the reality of his candidacy the RNC will have to accept and cannot ignore

The only silver lining in this mess is that as Hillary continues to stumble

Already Sanders on the allocation of Blue superdelegates to Hillary is beginning to grumble

Assuming she has not been indicted and wins the nomination with the superdelegates to face Trump or a brokered Red in the fall

Sanders supporters may stay home in droves and not vote in the November election brawl
