Pa. Republicans: Divided, anxious
Listen
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally Monday in Madison
Is the Republican Party flying apart?
Probably not, but if you spend a couple of days calling around to Pennsylvania Republicans as I have, you’ll hear plenty of anxiety as they contemplate the divisions Donald Trump has created and the prospects for a brokered national convention.
In the audio above, you’ll hear Liz Havey, who chairs the GOP committee for Lower Merion Township and Narberth, troubled by the fallout from last week’s debate. Trump supporters in the suburbs and central Pennsylvania speak out about being just as disturbed by moves from establishment Republicans to deny Trump the nomination.
And there’s Chester County GOP Committee Chairman Val DiGiorgio, who just hopes the party can get through this without damaging the prospects for every other Republican candidate on the ballot.State Republican Chairman Rob Gleason says the party is strong and will endure.
In a few months, we’ll see if he’s right.
