The spin is that Donald Trump cannot be elected because he alienates people.
The reality is the Republican Party leadership is the problem. His supporters -- already one in four Republican voters -- already are alienated by the Republican Party.
Their grievances are many and they go unheard.
In 2008, they went along with a RINO named John McCain as teh presidential nominee, who not only lost but stood by idly while his campaign manager destroyed Sarah Palin with the help of a willing press.
In 2010, they elected a Republican House to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
In 2012, they went along with a moderate named Mitt Romney, who lost.
In 2014, they elected a Republican Senate, which still didn't repeal Obamacare, has done nothing to protect the border, allows veterans to die waiting in line at the VA, and is about to let Iran have nukes.
The Animas River in Colorado is orange. Where are the anti-EPA Republicans to force this to be national news?
The president had a great summer. And instead of working with Trump voters, Republicans are trying to silence them. Trump is fighting back.
From Breitbart:
Sunday night Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski, lambasted the GOP establishment consultant class, when he joined Breitbart’s senior political investigative reporter Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot radio, channel 125.
Lewandowski explained that what most infuriates the establishment consultants is they don’t have any say in Trump’s campaign or platform. “It drives them crazy. They want to say ‘I’ve run a campaign in the past. Pay me for my knowledge. I’ve been involved with previously failed presidential campaigns,’” he said.
With Trump “That’s not how his campaign works,” added Lewandowski. “We don’t want these consultants who talk about the glory old days of races they were involved with that weren’t successful. Anything that they can do to try and control Mr. Trump does not work.”
The Massachusetts native, who earned a Masters in Political Sciences from American University, told Breitbart Sunday listeners that ‘Time and time again they have said, ‘Trump won’t run. He won’t file the paperwork. He won’t fill out his personal financial disclosure statement. He won’t be a factor in the race. And every time, everyone of these pundits have been wrong. And they continue to be wrong.”
Washington has become the City of Socialists. Republicans need to get their act together or die as a party.
Their choice, not mine.
Sound reasoning
They have ignored the voters for too long. Now, GOPe, SHOVE IT!
Shove it up Boehner, McConnell, Jeb and his supporters arse!!!!!
After other also-rans drop out, there’ll be an onslaught of ‘the GOP establishment consultant class’ looking to join the ‘winning team’. Each one thinking only his/her very self can push the candidate to the finish line.
It is up to Trump and his campaign to choose wisely.
It’s so refreshing to see the press eat themselves over Donald Trump. It’s a reminder to an era where people acted professionally and not selfishly.
The GOP is the new King George III.
Except the GOP EXEMPT liars and traitors
deserve the French Revolution.
I keep saying that the Republicans screwed us when we gave them the House, then the Senate. If they were to win the presidency they would screw us yet again.
There is absolutely no downside to going with Trump. We may be pleasantly surprised and if he should screw us it would be no different then what we would get from the Republicans.
So far Trump is performing beautifully.

Who ever has heard before in a national election you have to sign a paper or agree to something....what's the purpose of having candidates running against each other....oh yeah, I forgot, WE are picking OUR candidates and the GOPee isn't !!! That's the problem....well you know what you can do if you don't like what WE THE PEOPLE are doing, take a hike in a dark Forrest and loose your way and never come back!!!
I am daily more disgusted with the Republican Party.
Yep - our problems do not derive from Trump’s presence - they derive from a Republican majority in the Senate sucking the life out of those who made them possible because they refused to leverage the majority for the Will of the People and played Leftist Politics instead. Those who fear Trump will undo them are the cause of their own undoing and they need someone to blame for their own treachery and infidelity to their “constituents”.
I have never in the past been a Trump fan. But as Abraham Lincoln put it,“I can’t spare the man - he fights!”Somebody should have told the GOPe:
“Sic transit gloria mundi."
