The Republican party officials in the United States of America are cogitating on how to cope with violent Donald Trump who has been given the leeway to win the party’s nomination as candidate in the November 8, 2016 presidential election.

Since Wednesday, May 4, 2016, he is the lone candidate in the party’s nomination race as  his then remaining rival John Kasich dropped out of the race. "As I suspend my campaign today I have renewed faith, deeper faith that the Lord will show me the way forward," BBC quoted him as having told supporters in Columbus. John Kasich only won his home state but had hoped to lobby for his candidacy at the Republican convention in July.

John Kasich’s withdrawal came on the heels of his ally and another candidate in the Republican presidential nomination race Ted Cruz who dropped out of the competition on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 after lowing heavily to Donald Trump in the Indiana primary. Mr Kasich had been widely seen as the most moderate and electable Republican candidate but this did not garner him enough support among Republican primary voters.

From every indication, it is now certain Donald Trump will have the 1,237 delegates needed to become the Republican party nominee before the July convention in Cleveland, Ohio. In the remaining States such as California, which holds its primary on June 6, he will have no challenger. His clear victory now puts some of the Republican party officials in an embarrassing situation and they remain divided over whether to support his nomination.

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it," BBC quoted South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham as saying. Media reports cite some Republican party senior officials as saying that they would not back Donald Trump, with some saying they would prefer to vote for Mrs Clinton. Reports  further say , Mr Kasich's named has been floated as a possible vice presidential pick but he has denied that he would accept it.

The leading candidate in the opposing Democratic party nomination race, Hillary Clinton talking about Mr Trump her possible rival in the presidential race,  reportedly said,  he was a "loose cannon" who had run a "negative, bullying" campaign.
