Nadat Trump vannacht won in de staat Indiana is zijn kandidatuur voor de aankomende presidentsverkiezingen zo goed als zeker. Tot groot ongenoegen van veel prominente Republikeinen die al spreken van de ondergang van de partij. Een aantal heeft al gezegd op Hillary Clinton te zullen stemmen en het lidmaatschap van de partij op te zeggen. Dit is wat diverse partijprominenten en bekende Republikeinse Amerikanen vannacht twitterden:
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

the GOP is going to nominate for President a guy who reads the National Enquirer and thinks it's on the level. I'm with her.

Well, there goes my time as a Republican. We'll be changing our party affiliations tomorrow. Frankly, I feel relieved to do it. Free even.

I can't wait for Trump to lead with his theory that Kasich killed Tupac.

I'm a lifelong conservative, but Hillary is preferable to Trump just like Malaria is preferable to Ebola https://t.co/0BVRrqT1aY

Sorry Reince. Trump is a fake. A fraud. You should have expelled him long ago https://t.co/vOS0AyvZsx

So, I’m washing my hands of this. Y’all have fun with President Conspiracy Theory, and his wall we’ll never see.
