I did....what's this all about?

For my trouble, I've been accused of being a RINO, which totally ruined last week’s Georgetown cocktail party. There I was, comparing Dockers creases with David Brooks and drawing Touché Turtle caricatures of Mitch McConnell on Karl Rove’s whiteboard, when all of a sudden I start getting tweets about how I’m figuratively – and sometimes literally – in bed with Jeb, conspiring to import millions of Mexicans and burn the POW-MIA flag. It made me so sad that I decided to drown my sorrows by doing shots of Glenlivet with John Boehner – big mistake.

Is this funny haha or funny establishment? Bad satire/comedy?

His thesis is Trump won't be diminished by GOPe or media et al but by conservatives, like him. I guess conservatives who want to trash the front runner polled by a very large part of that portion of Americans who are tired of DC as usual? Conservatives whose respective candidates aren't doing well in the polls? Those conservatives who really aren't?

Like it or not, IMO there are three, maybe four up there on that slate who even come close to it. Cruz, Walker, possibly Carson, and the big unknown - Trump. We shouldn't be trashing them in every OP-ED, every article, TV spot or radio show. We ought to be about the business of squashing the biggest threat (GOPe backing and money), Jeb Bush! Squash his political aspirations right now, in the August sun, stomped like a fat stink bug. As for Graham, Rubio, Kasich, Christie and the rest - all that will work its way out like a rug remnant through a dog's hind end.

You know what he’s saying. He’s being told he doesn’t have conservative credentials for not supporting or at the very least not believing Trump can win.
Supporting Trump is not some sort of litmus test as to whether or not one is conservative. Theres no doubt about the illegal immigration issue. We all, including the writer agree with it.
Out of the rest of the field we have Cruz and possibly Walker. I was all in on Walker for at least a year before he announced but hes made plenty of conflicting statements. I don’t believe Carson is anywhere near ready although i think he’s a fine person with outstanding character.
By the way i live in NYC. I also lived in Stamford Ct 2 blocks from where Trump built a building. I went by it every day on my way to the city. Not sure any of those workers spoke English. So lets not play the purity game.
