The Republican Party’s attempts to stop Donald Trump look increasingly pathetic 

The Trump train will not be stopped. Last night, Donald Trump won in Michigan and Mississippi, again proving the breath of his extraordinary coalition.

The Republican Party’s attempts to bring him down look increasingly pathetic. Last week, Mitt Romney and other grandees came out to denounce Trump. But the public just watched the videos of Mitt Romney praising the Donald four years ago, when he was running for the White House, and laughed at the hypocrisy.

Yesterday, excited party hacks spread word that, according to Google (Google!), ‘how to stop Donald Trump’ had been one of the most popular internet searches across Michigan. Such grasping at straw polls was a sign of desperation. Trump won Michigan by 12 percentage points. This is a blow for John Kasich, who hoped that a win in Michigan might set him up to win his home state of Ohio and then position himself as the GOP establishment’s last best hope.
