WASHINGTON — Indiana Republican leaders haven’t embraced GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who extended his lead with wins in seven of 11 states voting on Super Tuesday.
But few have been as blunt as Indianapolis attorney John Hammond, one of Indiana’s two representatives to the Republican National Committee, that Trump's nomination would be bad for the party and country. Hammond, who initially backed Jeb Bush and has not endorsed another candidate since Bush's withdrawal last month, explains in an interview with IndyStar why he thinks Trump still can — and should — be stopped.
Question: Trump continues to win most of the states that have voted, and he has big leads in upcoming states. Is it inevitable he will be the nominee?
Answer: It’s not inevitable. He got 36 percent of the Republican vote in those races, which means 64 percent did not vote for him.
Certainly he has a strong lead. But unlike previous cycles, people are not rallying around the leader necessarily, at least in certain parts of the party. I think a large part of the party is looking for an alternative.
Q: How much of that is hopeful thinking on your part versus rational thinking?
A: I think the math is pretty rational. Sixty-four percent is a pretty big number. It gives me a lot of hope that common sense and rationality will ultimately prevail.

Tully: Young, conservative and fearful of Donald Trump
Q: One scenario for stopping Trump is that enough of his rivals will drop out, allowing the anti-Trump vote to consolidate. Another is that everyone continues to divide up the delegates, denying Trump a majority and sending the decision to the Republican National Convention. Could either happen?
A: I think the scenario is that they all stay in at the moment. ... There’s a stronger likelihood today of a contested convention. ... But right now I don’t anticipate (Ted) Cruz, (Marco) Rubio or (John) Kasich dropping out. I don't know about (Ben) Carson. (Carson said later Wednesday that he sees no path forward and will not participate in Thursday's Republican debate.)
Q: How likely is it that the race will still be going on when Indiana votes May 3, after 80 percent of the GOP delegates will have been chosen?
A: There’s a possibility, a greater possibility this year than probably any time in my adult life in working this arena. We’ll know a whole lot more, of course, on March 15. (Five states vote March 15, including Florida and Ohio, which award their delegates on a winner-take-all basis.)

Q: Will it be good for either Indiana, or for the GOP nationally, if Trump hasn’t secured the nomination before May?
A: It’s a good thing if the Republicans here will have an opportunity to make a difference in the outcome.
Secondly, and this is more a view of my own, Donald Trump is unfit to be the president of the United States. Common sense would dictate that we spend as much time as possible and go through whatever efforts necessary to find a standard-bearer that, one, can win in November and, two, will run this country in a responsible manner.
My father once said, 'If everybody were jumping off a cliff, would you jump with them?’ Of course I said 'no.’ My dad had a lot of common sense. I think that kind of common sense needs to be exercised throughout the rest of the Republican nomination process.
Q: Does that mean if Trump is the nominee that you won’t support him?
A: I cannot support Donald Trump at this moment. He’s not proven to me to be someone who is ready to serve in the presidency. It’s too early for me to say whether I’d support him or not (if he becomes the nominee). I’m a rock-ribbed Republican, and my inclination is to support the nominee, whoever that might be. But right now I don’t think it’s inevitable that it’s Donald Trump.
Q: There’s been record turnout in the GOP contests so far, and Trump says he’s expanding the party. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio say Trump is hurting the party. How do you assess it?
A: I think the brand is being destroyed by Donald Trump. I think he panders to nationalistic instincts and nativists' fears, which makes him a dangerous president, potentially.
Q: It sounds like you are more of the view that Trump has hijacked the Republican Party as opposed to another view that Trump is the best reflection of where the party is today, at least at the grass-roots level.
A: I’d say 64 percent of those who voted yesterday don’t think he’s where the party is.
Q: Exit polls show large numbers of Republicans say they feel “betrayed” by their party. Why do you think that is, and what can the party do about it?
A: I do think there’s that element, for sure. Any party leader who doesn’t pay attention to that is going to be very much disappointed in outcomes.
People are angry. There’s a lot of anxiety about the state of the economy, about the direction of the country, which certainly I share. They just want some strong man to come in and fix it. It doesn’t matter how complex the solution might be, or some of the difficulties and hurdles that might have to be crossed, and the skills that may be required to do so. They just want it fixed.
All Republican Party leaders, elected or otherwise involved in the party structure, need to pay attention, wake up and listen to it.
Q: Is the GOP going through a realignment? Could there be a very different Republican Party at the end of this year?
A: I don’t think we can determine the fate of the Republican Party until we see the outcome in November of the election.
Q: What are your discussions like with fellow Republican National Committee members about whether more needs to be done to stop Trump or whether it’s time to unite behind him?
A: Most of our members have not committed one way or the other to a candidate. Certainly the chairman, Reince Priebus, is putting in place the infrastructure to support whoever the nominee becomes. … And that’s the responsible way for him to lead.
But there’s certainly no groundswell of an effort to come in and coalesce around Donald Trump. … But there’s no organized effort to prevent the Trump nomination or to direct it to another candidate.
Q: You were on the committee that changed the GOP nomination rules to streamline the process. That was a reaction to the protracted 2012 nominating process. Did the changes end up boosting Trump?
A: The rule changes were good ones. ... Whether it’s helped Trump or helped someone else, the rules are the rules. I don’t think they were designed to help or hurt any particular candidate.
We have two phenomena at play. One is the absolute anger that seems to exist within the American electorate, frankly in both parties, with the actions of their governments and the direction of the country. The second is the phenomenon that relates to the continuing coarsening of our culture, which would allow Donald Trump to be popular.
You have to ask the question, what is happening in a society that prefers to admire the rich and famous over the noble and honorable? We’ve got to answer that question for ourselves as a culture.

Indiana Republican says Trump can and should be stopped - Wed 20 Apr 2016, 3:34 pm
Group to run ads against Trump in Indiana - Wed 20 Apr 2016, 3:31 pm
WASHINGTON — The conservative Club for Growth Action expects to spend $1 million in Indiana to try to prevent presidential candidate Donald Trump from winning the May 3 Republican primary.
David McIntosh, the former Indiana congressman who heads the group, said the state is strategically important in blocking Trump from becoming the GOP’s presidential nominee.
“We’re gearing up to have a major presence there,” McIntosh said of the group’s super political action committee. “It’s key that (Texas Sen. Ted) Cruz win (Indiana) to stop Trump from getting the nomination.”
Club for Growth Action has already spent millions of dollars in ads against Trump in other states, including Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Oklahoma.
The group, which advocates for small government and low taxes, endorsed Cruz in March.
McIntosh said Trump is “not a real conservative,” citing his record on taxes, health care and private property rights.
“Worst of all,” McIntosh said, “he’d lose to Hillary Clinton badly in the fall.”

Tully: Why Indiana’s delegates don’t love Donald Trump
The latest polling average from Real Clear Politics shows Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, with 49 points to Trump’s 39.5.
Against Cruz, Clinton is polling an average of 45 percent to Cruz’s 43 percent.
Although national polls show Ohio Gov. John Kasich ahead of Clinton, McIntosh said the Club for Growth opposes Kasich because of his positions on health care and other issues, and because he can’t take the GOP nomination away from Trump.
“Our message is, it’s a two-person race,” McIntosh said. “Cruz is the one who can stop him. So vote for Cruz to stop Trump.”
McIntosh said the group’s ads would start soon and would cost seven figures, although the budget is still being put together.
“It’s my home state,” McIntosh said of Indiana, “so I have a passion of sharing with voters all the research we’ve done on how Trump really is not a conservative and would be a terrible nominee.”
Indiana is one of the last states to vote, and its May 3 primary is the only contest that day.
There have been no public presidential polls in Indiana, one of the reasons some national pundits have said Indiana is one of the few tossup states left.
If Trump doesn’t win Indiana, The New York Times recently wrote, he has a very difficult path to getting the required 1,237 delegates to secure the nomination before the July national convention in Cleveland.
Trump will visit Indianapolis Wednesday for a rally at the State Fairgrounds.

Carrier union backs Sanders, spurning Trump
Cruz will make his first campaign stop in Indiana at the state party's Spring Dinner on Thursday.
Thirty of Indiana’s 57 delegates will be awarded to the Republican who wins the most votes statewide. The rest are given to the winners of each of the state’s nine congressional districts.
The delegates were selected at party meetings this month.
An IndyStar survey found only two delegates who declared Trump as their first choice. A majority favored Kasich.

INDIANAPOLIS STAR
And the Indiana winner for president is...John Kasich?
The delegates are required by GOP rules to vote for the candidate who wins the nominating contest in their state or congressional district on the first ballot at the convention. But after that, delegates from Indiana and many other states are free to vote for whomever they want.
“Indiana is going to be at that pivotal moment to decide what happens next in this presidential campaign that likely is to go all the way to the convention,” McIntosh said.
The group also is running nearly $200,000 in ads in the open congressional seat in northeast Indiana, where it's backing state Sen. Jim Banks in the six-person GOP primary to succeed Rep. Marlin Stutzman.
Club for Growth Action has endorsed Stutzman in the Senate GOP primary against Rep. Todd Young. The group has funneled campaign contributions to Stutzman but has not run ads in the race.
“We’re going to be watching (that race) closely and will make a decision as needed,” McIntosh said.

Donald Trump’s effort to reset his campaign following defeat in Wisconsin showed no signs of paying off this weekend, as a series of technical failures by his campaign set his hopes back even further.
From Thursday to Saturday, Trump suffered setbacks in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, South Carolina and Indiana that raise new doubts about his campaign’s preparedness for the long slog of delegate hunting as the GOP race approaches a possible contested convention. He lost the battle on two fronts. Cruz picked up 28 pledged delegates in Colorado. In the other states, rival campaigns were able to place dozens of their own loyalists in delegate spots pledged to Trump on the first ballot. This will matter if Trump fails to win a majority of delegates on the first ballot in Cleveland, as his delegates defect once party rules allow them to choose the candidate they want to nominate.
Trump’s campaign mounted a haphazard campaign for delegates in Colorado, where hundreds ran to be at large representatives in Cleveland at the state convention in Colorado Springs. The frontrunner’s advisers repeatedly instructed supporters to vote for the wrong candidates—distributing the incorrect delegate numbers to supporters. Cruz, who traveled to address the convention, swept the state’s 34 delegates on the back of a disciplined organizing effort, that included text message and video displays advertising his preferred slate.
In an appearance on NBC’s Meet The Press, Paul Manafort, the DC lobbyist-turned Trump convention manager accused Cruz’s campaign of engaging in “Gestapo tactics” as it looks to use the party rules to its fullest advantage, before trying to brush off the series of defeats.
Manafort has been tasked with professionalizing the ad hoc Trump organization and refocusing it around winning delegates. It’s a task that in many states is already too little, too late, as Trump has sacrificed delegate slots to rivals due to a lackluster organizing, or just apathy.
In Indiana, which holds its primary next month, Trump suffered setbacks even before the first vote was cast. Party leaders met across the state on Saturday to select three delegates from each of the state’s nine congressional districts. Nearly all of those selected are expected to be solidly anti-Trump. While Trump’s campaign encouraged supporters to apply to become delegates, the process is run by the GOP establishment, which has not warmed to the front-runner.
“The way the system works is, there are people who are involved, people who are known quantities, and that makes them more likely candidates to get these appointments,” said Thomas John, the GOP chair for the state’s 7th congressional district. State GOP leaders will select the statewide delegates at a meeting Tuesday, which is likely to have the same result.
In Iowa, where Cruz won the caucuses, he was able to pad his victory in the state’s district conventions by installing loyalists in all but one of the delegate slots up for grabs. Should the convention reach a second ballot, several delegates pledged to Trump would flip to Cruz.
And in South Carolina, where Trump swept the state’s 50 delegates, he lost five of six delegate slots in two congressional district conventions, eating further into his potential second-ballot support.
Trump took to Twitter Sunday to complain about what he called “unfair” efforts by the Cruz campaign.
In Michigan, where the state held its GOP convention in Lansing, Cruz’s campaign believes they have installed loyalists in about five delegate slots among the 25 delegates pledged to Trump.
The one glimmer of hope for Trump is that Cruz’s forces grew “greedy” in Michigan, according to John Kasich’s campaign manager John Weaver, which backed away from a proposed agreement with the Texas senator’s delegates to join with Trump to split assignments on the crucial convention committees.
The organization troubles don’t bode well for Trump in the rash of state and district conventions that will select more than 1,200 national convention delegates in the coming months. It also raises questions about Trump’s prospects in Wyoming, where the state convention will elect 14 delegates on Saturday. And while Trump is performing well in polls in Pennsylvania, 54 of the state’s delegates are elected directly on the ballot, posing another organizational test by Trump to ensure his supporters know for whom to vote.
