Former TEN presenter Hamish Macdonald is reporting for Foreign Correspondent this week, as he surmises a Republican Party plot to destroy Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Macdonald had previously presented ABC radio following his time at TEN.

Can Donald Trump be stopped? Will he even make it to election day?

This week Foreign Correspondent takes a warts-and-all journey through the strife now engulfing the Republican Party.

Through backroom deals and convention floor rebellions, Kendal Unruh, a schoolteacher and God-fearing conservative, is taking on the Donald Trump juggernaut, the Republican establishment and the global media.

“The most hated woman in America, or the most loved? Someone’s gotta save the republic, right?” – Kendal Unruh, Republican delegate

Unruh is a key player in ‘Never Trump’, the rebel movement that’s raked in millions of dollars in donations to stymie the presidential nomination of Donald Trump.

At the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio, it’s game on…

“It’s going to be chaos!” – Kendal Unruh, Republican delegate

Reporter Hamish Macdonald follows Unruh and her fellow dissidents as they stalk delegates, haggle over rules and crunch numbers over pizza and Coke in late night meetings.

Unruh grew up in a cult and sees Trump as a type of cult leader, a sham conservative who is stealing the Republican Party.

“Donald Trump is not a Republican, bottom line. We have no party left if he’s our nominee.” – Kendal Unruh

“There’s just not support for Donald Trump.” – Dane Waters, Republican operative, pushing to win delegates a conscience vote for the nominee

The schisms that Trump has opened up in the GOP are laid bare as Foreign Correspondent captures the backroom arm-twisting and double-crossing in the run-up to the final vote for the nominee.

“I’ll sleep when the revolution is over, right!” – Kendal Unruh

9.30pm Tuesday August 9 on ABC.
