Jennifer Rubin: Here’s what a primary challenge to Trump would accomplish

“I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part!”

I confess that, for months now, I've thought a Republican primary challenge to President Donald Trump would be "a really futile and stupid gesture," of the type that the Delta House ringleader exhorted his fraternity brothers to undertake after they'd been banished from campus.

Doesn't every poll show that members of the Republican Party overwhelmingly support Trump? Didn't the recent midterm elections show there is not much advantage in putting space between yourself and Trump if you want a future in the Republican Party?
