Earlier in the year, Republicans could take solace in the likelihood that the field of elected officials would winnow and that the party would coalesce around a single alternative to the insurgents as it did in 2008 and 2012.

I forget -- how did that work out?

I forget, but IIRC New Republic is a leftist website, so do not bother reading, right?

Same as all the Saloon and Nation crap that gets posted, just ignore it, life is too short to waste on liberal drool.

If Trump gets the nomination, Bill Kluless Kristol says he was a 3rd party candidate. A new party, Common Core, led By Jebby??

Trump is unlike anything the brain dead Political pundits have ever seen. He should have been knocked out weeks ago by his brash mis-speaks. But he is more like Andy Jackson was in the early 19th Century. Popular, a real leader. They better get out of the way before the Trumptidalwave sweeps them away. Watch as they use some trick to keep him from the nomination. If they do that—the electorate should go into rebellion and go 3rd Party. The GOP should ceast being a party.

Exactly the comparison I would make! Makes me wonder if ol Hickory was warned “You can’t just remove all those Indians!”

the premise that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president

**********************************
Trump getting elected worries them more than Hillary getting elected.
I suspect The Cheap Labor Express and its minions in the RNC/GOP will back Hillary if Trump is nominated.

I’ve not been able to find a record(ing) of it, however, I recall watching Dede Myers (ex Clinton press sec) on one of the (I believe Sunday) talks shows where she said (para)

... Einstein said the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over, it’s taken the democrats 50 years to get universal health care and they’ve finally done it..

Ignore if you want to, the dem/liberal/socialist/communist/progressive anti Americans don’t.

I have NO IDEA what they want for a country, nor do I think do they.

Perhaps they’re building upon Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography...

...they’ll know it when they see it.

Similar to their to definition of taxes.

Bill Kristol said he would start a 3rd party and run one of the GOPe if Trump got the nomination ( probably he means Bush or Kasich)

“Bill Kristol said he would start a 3rd party and run one of the GOPe if Trump got the nomination”

Which, by the way, can only mean ONE THING - that they know TRUMP CAN WIN...although they keep saying they don’t want him as the nominee because they claim he CANNOT WIN.

They’re playing us.

Fred Barnes is almost as bad, so I wonder how many “Weekly Standard” subscribers are canceling because of Kristol and Barnes?

Yea, I remember how they used to be with us. But once OPEN BORDERS came their way and the donors then DEMANDED IT, it’s like they’re from a different world.

Just sickening.

I remember hearing Trump say that Ann Coulter’s book helped him refine his views on Immigration. If Trump makes Ann Press Secretary, those daily briefings are going to be so dsmn entertaining.

Trump presents the GOP with a doomsday scenario - a candidate with the charisma and name recognition to win who doesn’t need their money and could care less what they think.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The stages of grief.
I think the GOPe is in the anger stage already!
