The establishment readies itself to strike back.

I could have guessed as much. And the Democratic establishment's equivalent of Mitt Romney in a parallel scenario is likely Joe Biden. If Donald Trump doesn't have enough votes to seal his nomination before the convention, or Hillary Clinton implodes, somebody's going under the bus.

"Mitt Romney has instructed his closest advisers to explore the possibility of stopping Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, a source close to Romney's inner circle says.

"The 2012 GOP nominee's advisers are examining what a fight at the convention might look like and what rules might need revising ...

"Romney is focused on suppressing Trump's delegate count to prevent him from accumulating the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.

"But implicit in Romney's request to his team to explore the possibility of a convention fight is his willingness to step in and carry the party's banner into the fall general election as the Republican nominee."
