Claim: GOP's secret plan
to block Trump, even by electing Hillary by Jerome Corsi, 2/28/16, WND
NEW YORK
– In a bitter fight for its life, establishment GOP leaders have decided to
block Donald Trump’s nomination at all costs, even if it means losing the
presidency to Hillary Clinton, says Roger Stone, co-author of the 2015
bestselling book “The Clintons’ War on Women,” and the recently published “Jeb!
and the Bush Crime Family.”
“The big
fix is in,” Stone, a former adviser to Trump, told WND in an exclusive
telephone interview Sunday. “Beware the ‘Big Steal,'” Stone warned. “The
leaders of the GOP establishment plan to steal the nomination from Trump and to
thwart the popular will, and they don’t care if they lose. Trump threatens all
the establishment GOP leaders’ cozy deals. He’s a threat to the lobbying class.
He’s a threat to the consultant class. He’s a threat to the globalists.”
“The GOP
establishment would rather suffer through four years of Hillary – whose
policies are indistinguishable from Marco Rubio’s or Mitt Romney’s – than to
have an outsider be president like Trump, who is beholden to no one,” Stone
insisted.
“Rubio
has been given until Tuesday and if he doesn’t win the Florida primary, the
establishment GOP leaders have decided to dump Rubio in favor of drafting Mitt
Romney, the GOP presidential nominee who lost to Barack Obama in 2012,” he
explained. “If Rubio cannot win Florida, then Rubio drops out and Romney is
in.”
“The GOP
establishment’s secret plan is to back Romney against Trump in the hopes of
winning enough delegates in the primaries after Super Tuesday to block Trump on
the first ballot at the GOP national nominating convention in Cleveland,” he
added.
“If Trump
does not win enough delegates to carry the nomination on the first ballot,
there’s no way he will be president,” Stone stressed. “On the second ballot,
the GOP establishment figures enough
delegates, including the 210 GOP super delegates, can be pounded
together to make Romney the GOP nominee in 2016.”
Stone
argued the GOP establishment as seen by the GOP leadership in Congress would be
as comfortable with the policies of Hillary Clinton as they have been caving
into the policies of Barack Obama.
“If
Romney loses to Hillary in the general election, that’s fine with the GOP
establishment,” Stone continued. “With Hillary as president, Mitch McConnell
and Paul Ryan keep their jobs as the congressional heads of the GOP and they
actually have more power under a Democratic president, the lobbyists supporting
the GOP stay put, and the globalists open-borders crowd in control of the GOP
establishment remain in power within the party.”
“The GOP
establishment knows that if Rubio or Romney win the nomination, the nomination
will be worthless because the GOP will lose to Hillary in November,” Stone
elaborated.
“But the
GOP establishment is fine with that outcome because Hillary Clinton’s plans are
the same plans the GOP leadership in Congress currently has,” he insisted. “The
Democrats and the GOP in Congress both want to continue open borders, to
introduce amnesty for the illegal immigrants already in the United States, to
give the green light to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and ship more millions of
jobs overseas, and to expand the welfare state and retain Obamacare, and to
allow Goldman Sachs and their friends on Wall Street to make all the money they
want to make.”
‘A battle
to the death’ for control of the GOP Stone explained what is going on right now
in the remaining GOP primaries is “a battle to the death” for the future
control of the Republican Party.
“Right
now the GOP establishment is throwing all the dirt they can find against Trump
against the wall to see what sticks,” Stone noted, commenting on Romney’s call
for Trump to release his income taxes and the recent allegations that the
litigation against Trump University exposes students Trump supposedly cheated
out of tuition dollars.
“The GOP
establishment attack on Trump is just beginning,” Stone commented. “If Trump
becomes the GOP nominee, ‘Plan B’ is for the GOP establishment to go into a
full-court press to defeat Trump, even if it means Hillary wins the general
election.”
“Since
the GOP establishment would be perfectly comfortable with losing to Hillary,
either Rubio or Romney winning the GOP nomination would be fine with them,” he
argued. “But if Trump wins the White House, it marks the end of the cozy deal
the GOP establishment in Washington and D.C. has had with the welfare-state
leftists controlling the Democratic Party.”
“I keep
trying to explain to people – on what issue were the GOP controlling Congress
and Obama and the White House any different? Endless war, the Patriot Act,
bailouts for banks and Wall Street?” Stone asked. “Sure the GOP in Congress
tries to sound different, especially when running for elections. But it’s all
rhetoric. The real fight is between the globalist welfare state of the Obama,
Hillary, and the GOP establishment controlling Congress and the Trump
supporters who still believe in American sovereignty.”
A
brokered convention
“So, the
GOP establishment has decided to go to ‘Plan B,'” Stone insists. “If Rubio
loses Florida and it becomes clear he can’t suck up enough delegates to block
Trump on the first ballot in Cleveland, then the GOP establishment will draft
Romney to run.”
“The GOP
establishment has lawyers right now checking filing deadlines to make sure
Romney can yet be registered in the big primaries remaining, including New
York, New Jersey and California,” he noted.
“The GOP
establishment is dead set to back whichever candidate – Rubio or Romney – that
they believe has the best chance of getting of a block of delegates in the remaining
primaries big enough to block Trump on the first ballot in order to force the
GOP into a brokered convention,” Stone detailed. “Then, if
Trump loses on the first ballot, the GOP establishment plans to vote the super delegates
and swap enough delegates from the remaining delegates to take Trump out in the
second ballot,” he insisted.
“In 2012,
the delegates for Ron Paul were ruled down at the GOP convention,” Stone
recalled, referring to the 2012 GOP Republican National Convention in Tampa,
Florida, when Ron Paul
supporters walked out of a rules committee decision to replace with
Romney supporters 10 of Maine’s 24 delegates pledged to support Ron Paul, in a
move that effectively stopped Maine from submitting Ron Paul’s name in
nomination.
“In 2012,
although Romney had enough delegates to win the ballot on the first ballot, the
establishment GOP leaders wanted to avoid a floor fight so GOP could present a
united front to the American public,” Stone noted. “It’s the same this every
year. By controlling the rules committee, the GOP establishment seeks to
control the nominating convention.”
