To Save the Party, Pull the Plug on Trump Now
The Weekly Standard ^ | 08-11-2016 | Jonathan V. Last

Donald Trump is not going to quit the race. The Republican party is not going to push him off the ballot. He may have a brief surge in the polls at some point, because the first rule of politics is that all races tighten.

Then again, maybe not. It could be that Trump's surge came and went during the final week of July and that the tightening period has already passed. But while we're talking about things that are not going to happen, understand this: Donald Trump is not going to win.

Hillary’s tentacles reach deep into GOP.

If she wins, GOP has no point. If she wins because they wouldn’t unite behind their own candidate, GOP has no point. If she wins because of voter fraud and GOP won’t fight it, GOP has no point.

If she wins, she will run the table and GOP as we have known it will no longer exist. GOP that remains will simply be yet another Soros pawn.

At the City College of New Yorkin the 1930s, if you were Jewish you were a communist. The communists fell into one of two camps: Stalinites (national communism), and Trotskyites (international communism) Irving Kristol (Bill Kristol's dad) was the leader of the Trotskyites. Over the years the Trotskyites became disillusioned with Russia (not Globalist enough) and became what is today called Neo-Conservatives, or neocons.

Irving Kristol is considered the father of the neocons. Hillary is a neocon, Trump is most definitely not.

Bill Kristol is preserving his father's legacy.

Anyone who wants can perform CPR on the GOP or even give them mouth-to-mouth. Me, I prefer to stay away from whores.

if the author is trying to save the CORRUPT GOP-e ‘party’ -—
he’s too late.

the Corrupt GOP-e is DEAD as a DODO!

Thank Heaven! (and Thanks to all who are supporting Mr. Trump).

if Trump wins, we expect (hope) for a total clean out of Washington DC stench.... the DNC and the GOP=E together.

if Trump loses, we are doomed anyway. But just in case USA has any future elections I will NEVER EVER vote for GOP-e.
They sold us out to the IslamoNazi-DNC-Obama-Hilliary-Pelosi corrupt machine. I will NEVER vote for GOP-e. It is dead as a dodo so far as I am concerned. And, millions more...

They are more worried about Trump losing a close election. Because they know they will be responsible for the difference between Trump winning or losing, and that the vast majority of voters for Trump will not return to the GOP. So they don’t just want Trump to lose, but lose bad.

Trump is guilty of beating the pants off a dozen or more globalist GOPe RINOS, plus two or three conservatives who couldn’t quite muster up against his high energy levels during the primaries. And he did it on a shoestring budget with no big donors or PACS and no massive advertising campaigns. Just raw non P/C guts and talent and local rallies daily. He also took the media and professional pundit class head-on and defeated or derailed their every attack. And by running on the most conservative pro-America, pro-freedom platform since the days of Ronald Reagan.

And for this dastardly crime, the stuck-on-stupid GOPe has decided to punish America by withholding their support and sometimes even campaigning against their own party’s candidate (stabbing their constituents and voters in the back) and allowing the most corrupt America-hating commie candidate in history, Hillary Clinton, to waltz into the White House where she will appoint godless America-hating activist judges and other high level government offices where they will continue the wholesale destruction of our constitutional freedoms, our Judeo-Christian society, our military, our borders, our economic freedom and our very existence as a free nation.

This is betrayal if not flat out treason.
This is nonsense.
This is stupidity on steroids.
Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
Like Buckley, this makes conservatives want to stand athwart history, yelling STOP!!
Pray the members of the Grand Old Party recover from their collective butthurt and come to their senses soon.
And pray that God has not abandoned America.
Pray that there are enough good people left in America that we can defeat the godless socialist party and the RINOs, elect Donald Trump, hold on to our congressional majorities, and begin turning this great country around.
God bless.

I don’t think they’re worried about Trump losing, at all. They’re worried about him winning.

“Donald Trump is not going to quit the race.”

The belief/hope that Trump would quit the race is a concept only held by idiots.
