The Seven Stages of Grief are usually rendered as shock, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance. The GOP Establishment’s emotional train is just pulling into Depression Station, and it will tarry there awhile before chugging reluctantly on to Grand Acceptance Junction.
Oh, they might never really accept Donald Trump’s emergence as the Republican nominee – quite a few of them are deadly serious about sabotaging the election and throwing political control of the United States to Democrats in perpetuity, if Trump wins the primaries. What they’ll never accept is that the Trump phenomenon is real, and it says more about both partisan rings of the D.C. circus than it says about him. But Republican candidates who accept that truth, and build a smart strategy around it, might even beat Trump for the nomination.
(Here’s something else for you to accept, you alien-overlord Vogons of the GOP Establishment: you’re never coming back if Hillary Clinton wins in 2016 after you arrogantly declare you’d prefer her to Trump. She’ll finish Obama’s “transforming America†project to make sure you’re not electorally viable on the national level, and the Democrat mania for collectivist power will make all your House and state government victories largely meaningless, and you’ll have a very hard time convincing a large and enraged segment of your base to work for your prospective return to power in 2020 or 2024.)
Back to today: Instead of rushing to embrace every liberal anti-Trump meme, why don’t you Establishment types try coming up with some speeches that people won’t chew their own ears off to avoid listening to? Can you think of some ways to build constructively from Trump’s big moments, and respond to him without insulting and marginalizing his supporters?

Bargaining!!!
Nope. The mask if off, and their contempt for their base is in the open now.
I certainly hope that that is how it turns out.

Kill the Dept’s of Energy, Edumacation, Labor, Commerce and make the NRA a new Dept.
Let us know when they get to ACCEPTANCE.
>>>make the NRA a new Dept.
lol
They are all turning themselves inside out to try to convince us that Trump is not a player. The truth is if he wins the GOP is kaput. If he fails, the GOP is kaput.
Good point.
nice!!!
I definitely see some anger too.
