More and more Republicans are reconnecting with their consciences and realizing not only that they cannot vote for The Donald but in the case of some major party players that they cannot allow him to become president. How to save their nation and their party from this walking bundle of dysfunctions and deficiencies who can't be allowed to take office?
Run a "real Republican" as a third-party candidate to split the conservative vote. They wouldn't necessarily expect to win. Rather, this could be a way of proclaiming "real Republican" values, while discretely throwing the election to Hillary Clinton.
Apparently most filing deadlines for getting on the ballot as an independent are in July and August and the signatures required would be easy to meet, though there are plenty of other hurdles. Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, a #NeverTrump leader who's been calling for a draft candidacy, is well regarded by others who like this idea and are calling for him become their "real Republican" candidate.
