Let us not be naive or willfully ignorant about what is happening. Donald Trump has a far longer history of affiliation with Democrats and Democrat causes than he does conservative, populist, or Republican causes. See him and hear him for yourself in his own words. Even in the first debate of Campaign 2016, Trump supported government run, Canadian style universal healthcare. There is no difference between his position on that and Bernie Sanders’ position.
Trump has long supported abortion rights. He has called for higher taxes and gun control. He has defended Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Donald Trump funded the Democrats against the tea party in 2012 and the establishment Republicans against the conservatives in 2014.
Now in 2016, the Republican consultant class and RINOs in Washington are lining up behind Donald Trump. They are doing so to stop the only guy who has put points on the board against them — Senator Ted Cruz. But it is not just Cruz. These Republican consultants and elected officials are lining up behind Trump over Senator Marco Rubio. In fact, the Republicans who most aggressively support expansive immigration and open borders are rallying to Trump, not Rubio.
Trump supporters are deluding themselves through blind rage and emotion. The guys in Washington know that Trump, who just last year supported universal healthcare and two years ago supported Mitch McConnell against conservatives, can be reasoned with in a way Cruz cannot.
This should be a damning indictment against Donald Trump in Campaign 2016. The very Republicans who have collaborated with Barack Obama to grow the national debt, keep immigration expansive, fund Planned Parenthood, and fund Obamacare are on Team Trump against Ted Cruz.
Ericsson is a douche nozzle.
oh the desperation when the inevitable is about to commence
I'll NEVER be able to vote for Donald Trump.
LOL!
All facts that many on this forum (including admin) choose to either accept or ignore I’m afraid.
No they aren’t they are supporting Jeb and Kasich and Rubio.
Consider the source.
Before long, Erick Erickson will claim that Donald Trump was the legionaire who thrust the pilum into Christ’s side while he hung on the cross!
Of course they do, now that they realize the Trump Administration is inevitable. Gotta start licking butt now, or risk getting hung out to dry.
Such a pathetic and obvious last ditch effort, all else having failed, now let’s see if we can convince the rubes that Trump is actually the Establishment candidate. How lame can you get?
Incorrect. The establishment types are aligning with Trump because they’re worried about losing their jobs once he takes office.
They’d align with whoever the front runner was.
Note to Eric YOU are one of those Republicans. You had NO problem with the GOPe trashing the country in coordination with Obama. Don't now posture as if you are anything other then another mindless GOPe propaganda drone.
They’ve seen the real numbers. They know who their next boss is.
Yep. Everyone giggles but the nightmare is at the gates ... and it’s name is Donald Trump.
There are no facts in this. Erickson IS on of those Republican pundits who sat idle while the GOPE sold out the country to Obama. It is utterly hypercritical for him to NOW posture as if he is an “outsider”.
Clever and original too!
Wait, what?
The same people who’ve been trying to destroy his candidacy for months are now rallying behind him to stop Cruz?
Not buying it for a minute.
Erickson may be the worst person on earth, frankly I don’t care.
The points he makes are valid
