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.

What will happen is, Trump will narrow the poll gap. This will send the Left and their media stooges into a frenzy. The attacks on Trump will get worse. They will up the ante and go full bore vitriolic on Trump, they’ll find ever more fantastic stories to spin and lie about. The low info zombies of the demoncrat party will go full dis-associative and some of them will attempt an assassination of Trump. the Left is whipping the fools into a frenzy. Their claims that Trump is dangerous and unhinged is mere projection. The course towards violence is fully on the shoulders of the Left. This is a dangerous period and God is the only One who can stave off a full meltdown.

Pull the plug on everyone who voted for Trump and see what happens

That gurgling sound is the Republican Party circling the drain

I don’t see that I would every vote for any republican who had a part in “ pulling the plug”

Not ever again

Why would anyone?

No one is pulling the plug on anyone, the standard needs to get over it. (although if Hillary goes catatonic I’ll volunteer for any plug pulling)

Bill Kristol's 'Weekly Standard' trots out another loser to spew the official RINO-globalist line. "Jonathan Last"? He'll be LAST alright in getting phone calls returned from the Trump Administration.

They must ALL have yeast infections in their manginas over at the Weekly Standard.

“Save the party” or “save the country?” I vote save the country, the party does not need to be “saved.”

For the sake of the party and the country, I held my nose and voted for the epic loser that was Mitt Romney, a man whom I despise so they can shut their mouths and vote for Donald Trump or they can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.

Remember President Dukakis?

I also remember President Dole.....and President McCain.....and President Romney. They all had the full backing of the same people who refuse to back Donald Trump.

The GOP has been screwing us for 28 years.....The first George Bush started the downhill slide..

All he had to do was continue the Reagan revolution

If Trump wins he will only slow it for a while

The federal government needs to be cut by two thirds

Everything back to the states except defense and state dept

NEVER HAPPEN

People will not wakeup

Do all these geniuses not realize that “pulling the plug” = capitulating and forfeiting? How in the world is that a good idea? There is no way to get another candidate on the ballots at this point. There is now way that any other candidacy is remotely viable at this point. All these A$$hats are doing is urging the Republican party to go full retard and quit before the people have even had a chance to speak. And these people are supposed to be the best and brightest? Idiots!

Oh god, Mitt.

I remember when that “I agree with everything Obama said” a-hole ran .. We all grumbled about it but we took it FAR better than these network shills are taking President Trump.

My god, Mitt agreed so much with Obama he took credit for the ACA and for gun control. The debates could have been done with Obama looking in a mirror.

Same garbage with McCain. This year we had a few good candidates and I was really happy with the field. With President Trump we saw him actually rise to the top. There was no scandal, no war. Just the way things should work, working for us.

President Trump or Coup. That’s my stance.

If he won’t win, why worry?

I suspect his worry is more that Donald will kick their rears into behaving — but not as sellouts to liberals any more.
