The movement to rescue both the Republican Party and the nation from narcissistic bloviating con man Donald Trump, and replacing him with someone who actually has a chance to defeat corrupt liar Hillary Clinton, has always had one 800-pound elephant in the room — or in this case not in the room.

That is, the movement has had unified consensus and organization for months to oust Trump, but they have had no candidate to replace him with, a viable, electable candidate that would be acceptable to the various wings of the Republican Party, whether it's the constitutional conservative Tea Party voters or the more establishment-oriented Bush wing of the GOP.

Well, that candidate may have just emerged, according to a report from veteran columnist Quin Hillyer, a contributing editor of National Review and a senior editor of The American Spectator.

Hillyer reports on his blog that former Senator Tom Coburn , a highly respected conservative from Oklahoma, would accept a draft from the convention floor at the upcoming Republican National Convention that begins on Monday:

When and if confirmed, this is highly encouraging news to those who believe that America — a country of over 300 million people — deserves a better choice for president than two morally bankrupt New York liberals.

Ehhh, we've had a perfectly competent and qualified candidate in our sights the entire time, and nothing has changed, regardless of who is trying to pollute the waters, we're still set on Cruz.
The rest can take a flying leap...

I think we've all been set on Cruz but it appears at least for now that he is no longer interested in going that route. Although that still remains to be seen.  He still may have a surprise or two left. Let's hope so.

There has never been any evidence that Cruz was the choice, other than he is the only one qualified and deserving, and that still hasn't changed.
The GOP are the ones creating these stories, trying to create doubt and confusion but the base/delegates are focused on one individual and that hasn't changed.
