Gingrich: Trump here to stay, old guard repudiated by 'their own voters'

The last major rebel in the Republican Party has message for his team about Donald Trump: "A Stop-Trump movement will be self-defeating because Trump isn't going away."

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in an email to supporters that Trump, and the success of Sen. Ted Cruz and even outsider Ben Carson, is a sign that most GOP voters are turning their backs on the old guard establishment.

"The Republican old order still hasn't come to grips with the fact that two out of three of their own voters are repudiating them. This isn't about Trump the personality. It is about Trump, Cruz, Carson and the genuine grassroots revulsion against a political class that has failed to solve America's problems," wrote the former House GOP "back-bencher," now one of the party's most influential leaders.

The problem here is the republican party wants Rubio to wait until a brokered convention which will piss off trump voters who will not show up to vote then Hillary will win.
