Halperin: If Trump Keeps Doing Badly, ‘Real Chance’ RNC Will Try to ‘Dump Trump’

‘If Trump continues to be down in the polls, continues to hurt Senate candidates and House candidates, continues to not build infrastructure ...’

TODD: "Mark Halperin, I’ll start with you, how real is the dump trump movement inside the Republican party?" 
HALPERIN: "It’s less likely to happen than to happen. But it’s real, because you’ve got now an attitude within the Republican party, at the highest levels that this would be better for the party, one top strategist said that there’s a meteorite headed towards planet Earth, they’ll do what they have to do. The key for them is to not let this be something seen as led by Mitch McConnell and maul Ryan. Their hope is that that catches on and they’re willing to — It looks organic and that it’s grass roots and that the delegates can trump is voters. If the delegates decide to do this they can. There’s a real chance if trump continues to be down in the polls, continues to hurt Senate candidates and House candidates, continues to not build infrastructure, there’s a real chance they’ll try to do it.
