Trump Battles the New Totalitarians; GOP elites join with leftists at Media Matters

Well, kumbaya.

The front page of The Washington Post gasps:

GOP leaders fear damage to party’s image as Donald Trump doubles down

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus apparently has called Trump asking him to “tone it down.” (And who leaked that story?) It has gotten so bad that all the people who believed the Bush presidencies and moderate Republicanism were the savior of the GOP have now convinced themselves that leaving the White House [...]

Then there’s GOP donor John Jordan of the Jordan Winery in Healdsburg, California. As noted here in the Wall Street Journal, Jordan says:

“I am pro-choice and in favor of gay marriage. I am a centrist,” he said, describing the November election as “an epiphany” that revealed to him how the GOP had to turn to “moderate centrist reasonable people who have the best interests of the country at heart.”

In other words, he is one more timid moderate of the kind that has led the GOP to one defeat after another by trying to be liberal-lite. Now? Now Jordan, exhibiting exactly the kind of contempt for the grassroots that exemplifies the New Totalitarian mentality, [...]

Someone in the party ought to start some sort of petition saying, ‘If Trump’s going to be on the stage, I’m not going to be on there with him,'” Jordan told the AP. “I’m toying with the idea of it.”

And Jordan is far from alone in this mindset. As this Politico story illustrates vividly, Trump does indeed “terrify” the GOP Establishment and they are determined to do anything and everything to stop him. If that means being a silent partner with George Soros, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org and leftist thugs — well so be it. Wow.

The GoPoop party is dead.. saving it is a lost cause.

It ate all its future hopes the last few elections..

It lies, obfuscates its voters intent, and then expects to be treated respectfully.

Good luck on that.

The Cheap Labor Express is getting very worried that their sizable investment in the GOP is going down the drain.
The GOP was supposed to get us to vote for amnesty.
Trump is upsetting that apple cart.

I hope so.

I want McConnell gone in 16. Evidently they didn’t get the message when Cantor got thrown to the curb.

I also want about 30-40 RINOS to become political road kill in 16. Then the Crying Cheeto losing his ability to strong arm the Conservatives in the house.

The new totalitarians are the same as the old, but now the Donkeys and RINOs are in league with the other and the other entrenchments of the Left — academia, MSM, business organizations, and donors. The more Trump fights, the more these people are unmasked for who and what they really are. Go Donald, go. Bring the fight to these lying, thieving, intolerant scum. The American people need to see who their real enemies are: the elite, privileged Establishment Ruling Class.

I really thought more districts would follow our lead and throw their weasels out like we did with the weasel Eric Cantor.

The voters have term limits in their hands.

The GOP/republican party is dead. Trump will tell them to take a flying f**k at a rolling donut and then run as an independent. We all know what happens when that happens - democrats get elected. If Trump loves this country like he says he does, he will not run as an independent, only to prevent Hillary from getting the presidency.

I fully expect Lindsey Graham and McCain to start calling for the U.S. Military to attack Donald Trump within a week.

“I am pro-choice and in favor of gay marriage. I am a centrist,”

In the American context, such a bully poseur is anything but a centrist. Understand my point. America was founded as a new ethnic force in the world by men who understood the depth of the human struggle from ancient, through classical, through medieval times, in terms of enduring principles. They did not find what this jerk who sees his wealth as a tool to bully others refers to as "pro-choice" acceptable; and they certainly did not embrace an oxymoron, which completely ignores both the functional and sacred attributes of marriage.

In terms of American purpose, the fellow is a flaming radical; as he is in terms of virtually every form of traditional theology, still extant. (And let us look at the apparent assumption, that if the mob for the moment accepts something, that somehow makes it morally acceptable. No people have ever sunk so low as to allow mobs to determine acceptable morality, without losing their cultural heritage--as well as their property, if not their heads--in the process.

First, the GOP must die.

Everything else comes after that.

Fixed the WaPost headline:

GOP leaders fear damage to party’s image [as effete, effeminate, limp-wristed pansies] as Donald Trump doubles down

that's because politicians can't stand it when private citizens have something to say and don't get the time of day from those "elected officials".

You got that right!!! This clown “GOP donor John Jordan of the Jordan Winery” is a major beneficiary from open borders. All California wineries crave cheap illegal Mexican/Central American slave labor.

Cheap labor express indeed!! This is today’s GOP mega-donors and Donald Trump has billions of his own to out-trump them
