It's the End of the Line for GOP as We Know it

Trump's response to this floor-fight talk was to vomit up the usual word salad.

This type of language leads me to believe that the author may not be an impartial commentator.

Nominating Donald Trump will wreck the Republican Party as we know it.

He says it like that's a bad thing.

They still don’t get it do they.

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.

And finally acceptance shows her face.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The GOP as we know it needs to be wrecked.

They are siding with the illegal aliens and their employers against the citizens and the rule of law.

Their betrayal of the citizens has begotten Trump.

Sit on it and spin, Jonah.

"Nominating Donald Trump will wreck the Republican Party as we know it. Not nominating Trump will wreck the Republican Party as we know it. The sooner everyone recognizes this fact, the better. "

Finally past denial and outrage, into acceptance

Jonah Goldberg is one of those authors that in some cases writes stuff I thoroughly agree with and in some cases writes stuff that I think should get him a brain transplant.

Either:
Trumpeters stay home,
Anti-Trumpeters stay home,
Or some clown goes 3rd party and everybody stays home.

Time to pray for a Hillary indictment!

[TYVets]

So 1/2 of the Uniparty will hopefully disappear.

A plus for the citizens of the USA.

[bigbob]

Lucy’s kid? Why he’s the paragon of objectivity. /s

Blow it up. The sooner the GOP is gone, the sooner we might have some alternative to a uniparty.

[Durbin]

Regardless of how this election turns out, I can see Conservatives going 3rd party. Progressive populism and progressive crony capitalism is what the Republican party stands for now and I could care less if it burns to the ground.

Actually Trump is a return to core Republican values and a move away from the Bush families 40 years of liberalizing the GOP

Republicans use to stand form small government, low taxes, limited regulation,free enterprise and traditional social values. Thy were suspicious of an interventionist foreign policy and favored a strong national defense designed to protect US National Security interests. They were proudly “American 1sters” who were suspicious of any internationalist tendencies in foreign, or trade, policy. They had a firm believe in the rule of law.

I submit the name Rudy Giuliani for the nomination. He may be good enough of a compromise to to get Trump on board. He will go after Hillary, know how to win over a blue electorate, and will be tough on terror. I’m not sure where he is on immigration, but if he is hawkish on that, maybe that’s a compromise that can be done....

[Cboldt]

Many anti-Trump Republicans will desert the convention and the party if he's not denied the nomination.

IOW, there is no intention to unite behind Trump. "Our way or the highway," status quo.

I believe this would be a good thing, because the movers and shakers in the party are corrupt and dishonest. Get 'em out of here.

Nominating Donald Trump will wreck the Republican Party as we know it

Pure BULLSHIT!

[blackdog]

"wreck the Republican Party as we know it."

I've known enough for years now. Time to give the old guard republican party a lobotomy, enema, transfusion, organ transplant, and fresh change of clothes. It stinks of arrogance and corruption as much as it shows it's ugly disdain for the American people.
