Josh Marshall Notes

++In "Late and Telling", Josh Marshall at Talkingpointsmemo.com remarks that this week saw a number of intelligent Republicans denounce Trump. For example, George Will, John Podhoretz, David Brooks, and Ross Douthat weigh in against the Donald. But Josh says they would have had more credibility if they had denounced the attempts to smear President Obama as a "dictator" who exceeded his constitutional powers years before.

++Josh earlier explained in "Why #Never Trump Is Doomed,Doomed,Doomed" why these GOP efforts to stop Trump are futile. Numerous columns have been printed this week on the Stop Trump effort and point out that these have to be flawlessly carried out, even though they are forms of guerrilla warfare that can't be flawless by definition.

++The latest such plan is to pour millions of dollars into Wisconsin to prevent Trump winning that primary. The idea is to get to the convention and enter another candidate other than Cruz and Kasich. If that fails conservatives plan to mount a third party drive with a candidate like Perry,Scott Walker or someone similar. Good luck guys.
