NBC is reporting on this now.
From a purely tactical standpoint, I can see where they're coming from. If they succeed in this, all hell would break loose. Trump would run as a 3rd-party candidate. Hillary Clinton would win and the official Republican candidate would come in 3rd. But the Republicans have no hope of winning with Trump anyway. By casting him off, they might at least suffer less losses down ballot. They might even get some sympathetic respect for standing up to their principles. In theory.
On the other hand, disregarding the will of the voters could accelerate the break-up of the party.
Either way, this is fascinating stuff for any political junkie - and it's fucking sweet if you're a Democrat.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
