The Republican Party Must Defeat Trump Now
Politico ^ | December 16, 2015 | Christine Todd Whitman

Posted on 12/17/2015 5:25:01 AM PST by detective

Every few generations a political party has to define itself. Now is that moment for the Republican Party. Until recently the GOP has been seen in Washington as the "party of no." Now it is being defined as the party of extreme. While the U.S. may be yearning for definitive leadership from a president, the use of hate and fear tactics by so many of the GOP presidential candidates is not the answer.

An establishment Republican goes to Politico to attack Trump.

I think Christine Todd Whitman and other Republicans will support Hillary Clinton in the presidential elections.

I’m a Cruz supporter, but Christine “It’s My Party, Too” Todd-Whitman’s aversion to Trump makes me like him more.

There's her tell, she leads off more concerned about how "Washington" sees the party rather than how THE PEOPLE see the party.

The GOPe would far rather lose to Hillary than win with a real conservative such as Cruz or maybe Trump (I'm not sure Trump is a real conservative. He has far more conservative ideas than the GOPe though)

Watch closely as rinos come out of the woodwork and show they’re true colors for the next 12 months. I predict many will be previously thought to have been solid Conservative.

Because the destruction of our country brought about by the Dems and RINOs is not at all 'extreme'.

It is a very good thing. Even if you don; like Trump he has split out the RINOs and IMO that is irreparable. Either we will have a 3 party system or the liberals will all be under the Democrat realm. Yeb’s the first to go IMO.

Trump needs to win the Presidency, and one of his first orders of business after undoing all of Obama’s disasters is to demolish the Republican party.

Once he does that, he and the TRUE conservatives in federal and state governments can form a new party, one with out liars and traitors.

When Whitman first ran for governor her in 1993 against Florio, she ran as an unabashed fiscal conservative; 30% reduction in income taxes which she achieved. However, like so many RINOs and moderates, their true colors are always exposed. That’s why Christie is a fraud too. Started out good but morphed back to what he always was. On a personal level, I am conservative but I have a party that doesn’t speak for me, so politically I do not know what I am anymore. If it’s possible, I hate the Republican establishment more than i do the Democrats.

For the record, she’s a pro-choice RINO. I’m with Cruz, but she needs to go away.

The fact that he is equally hated by the GOPe and the Democrats (i.e., the Uniparty) should make us all take a second look at him.

The GOPe needs to go the way of the Whigs.

At some time in the near future, a third party will rise and will bring people together. The globalists in power now are bringing this to fruition whether they know it or not.

Christie Toad Whitman: The incompetent, leftist bitch who gave New Jersey creepy fag Gov. McGreevey and squandered a GOP legislative supermajority to a Democrat one. Go join the Democrats, Chrissy, you’ve done more to help them than any other Democrat in NJ.
