This upcoming Presidential election has caused much heated controversies within both political parties, particularly within the GOP party as many conservatives have issues with the current front runner Donald Trump. The most vocal recently being the former GOP candidate from the 2012 Presidential election Mitt Romney. He suggest that Trump is a "fraud" and that the party should unite to block him in the upcoming national convention in Cleveland this July. "The 17-minute assault on Mr. Trump’s record, temperament and integrity marked another bizarre twist in an already stunning campaign drama that has, in the words of Mr. Romney, “shredded” all the “rules of political history,” pitting the GOP’s last nominee against the favorite to be its next." As you can see by Romney's assault on Trump that there is much distain. Trump fired back on Romney saying that he was "failed candidate". What Romney suggest would be the biggest party showdown since 1976 election. The GOP wants to prevent Trump from winning the March 15 primaries in Florida, home of follow GOP opponent Marc Rubio, and Ohio. “If Donald Trump wins Ohio and Florida, he’ll be the nominee and nobody can stop him,” said Ben Ginsberg, a leading Republican election-law expert. “If he doesn’t win both, it is theoretically possible that he wont have a majority of delegates going into the convention.” The biggest issues come that Trump doesn't know anything about foreign policy. There was also speculation that Trump campaign is a big cover up to help the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton win the White House. Can the conspiracy theorist by correct?
