Certainly there are some Democrats who really do support Trump. However, there are many that are crossing over in the open primaries to vote for him because they think he can easily be defeated in the general election.

Well said.

My response to Schlichter. Your advice to the GOPe is way too little and too late. This marriage has been on the rocks for way too long and it's divorce time because all credibility is shot. Too many lies, too many times. There is no trust anymore and no chance to reconcile.

I’ll say this slowly....and just one more time....

......I stopped reading when this Schlichter guy called Trump a (crude pejorative ) clown.

Why you chose to invert & redirect my post is lost to me.

No doubt about it.

BTW, I have no clue as to whether they would vote for Cruz, but I suspect not. Instead they probably won't vote.

Cruz has issues, real issues. Not a natural born citizen for starters. His wife Heidi played an integral role in the Building a North American Community which is designed to create a European Union type of entity where our sovereignty is gone. How's that working for the Europeans these days? He has shown that he is more than willing to play ball with the GOPe if it means success for him. Not you or the country, him..

Hip-deep condescension from another GOP-e scribe.

Stuff it, Kurt.

You have zero proof of that. What makes you think Cruz would do better? Polls mean nada, zilch, zero, nothing.

They aren’t going away; we need to reintegrate them. To bring them back into the GOP is going to require us to examine our ivory tower policy preferences as well as our prejudices about our own base – and it’s going to require us to start keeping our word. We had no sympathy for the plight of the base, and that’s why now we have the devil.

Well, Kurt, you could start by honoring your word and supporting the unwashed masses', those gun toten', tobaccy chewen', Bible carryen', red necked raciss, xenophobic rubes' very own---chosen candidate:

DONALD JOHN TRUMP!!!

What’s interesting about this post is that in clearly pointing out the problem of the GOPe while disavowing the common perceived solution (Trump), this guy has unleashed the kind of blind devotion of the trumpites that gives the rest of us some real hesitation.

I’ll vote for Cruz in my primary, and I’ll vote for Trump in the general if it comes to that, because we can’t go on the way we’ve been going. I know Cruz has done things I don’t like, but I also know that Cruz has taken fire politically for trying to do things that need to be done. I know Trump has pointed out real problems (immigration, trade); I have no idea what Trump will do politically, because he has not political track record. But I do know every other “outsider” who’s captured the imagination of the disillusioned has, once in power, turned out poorly.

Perot? He was in the race, out of the race, then in the race again, in a fashion half-assed enough to do nothing other than help Bubba get the office.

Jesse Ventura? A whack job almost from the very start - Minnesota must be so proud with a legacy of him, Al Franken, the first Muslim congressman, and Marco Rubio as electoral triumphs

Arnold? Talked a good game as a “fiscal conservative, social moderate” - then turned into another squish Democrat stooge when the spit hit the fan. Now he’s endorsing Kasich - there’s a surprise.

The Donald? Who knows? - well, apparently other than the true believers who fill in the blanks with what they would do if they were the one in office, much like the Obamabots filled the gaps in that empty suit. Trump has laid out an outline of a number of key problems, but what he’ll do about them is something I’d like to have a track record on: he’s already begun to hedge on immigration, and apparently even if he assisted on the dissection of a pre-born human being that wouldn’t be enough to inspire some doubts about Planned non-Parenthood. But if the choice is Hilary, yeah, I’ll go with the hopes of those with no doubts about Trump’s suitability for the Presidency, even if I have mine.

Though I intend to vote for the GOP nominee, each new round of appalling idiocy by that vulgar human troll doll tests my resolve.

Perhaps the writer of this statement is the vulgar human troll!

I do not like it when writers present unsupported assertions. Do not believe that he has any evidence other than the Harpies complaining and criticizing the Donald out of context to suit their own biases and prejudices.

They should spend more time getting to know Donald Trump, and trying to get over their insane jealously.

Oh, ok. So the answer is to reintegrate us, I see.

So the fact that they are quoting a song that makes unrepentant evil look edgy and cool, while their point is, oh I don’t know, “trust us”?? perhaps?!

Feck off! Seem an appropriate response, I think.

The establishment is almost finished. The GOPe won't be allowed into the convention. The Tea-Party will be in charge. According to one of the founders of the Tea-Party Patriots, which in just about 8 years put 3 candidates into the presidential race, Trump is an interloper.

I agree with that fact.
To throw all of that fine work (3 running for president, dumping House leadership and increasing numbers in the body, and winning the Senate and numerous State Houses) for a liberal North East Democrat seems pretty f@#$ing stupid to me.

But some have bitten the shiny lure and are about to get pulled up onto the boat and get gaffed.

How many more Rino/Liberal presidential candidates will it take losing before some finally get the message?

But sure, lets go with Donny the Democrat Donor.

What could go wrong?

heh.

Supporters of CPAC are just plain dumb, I stopped giving them any attention as soon as they supported the New World Order agenda and the GOPe.

I heard a clip of Kasich claiming he is not establishment and never has been. Trump is making all these people nuts.

I won't say "gullible dupe," but I was thinking of it.

Sitting on your perch, looking down on us gullible dupes, must be straining on you, Bless your heart.

I was a Cruzer, maxed out on my donations, before I switched to Trump. Was I gullible to donate all that money to Cruz?

You are an arrogant, pompous, elitist, condescending batch, and I'm saying it, not thinking it.

This is why I did not vote for him in the general election. Had he stayed out, President George H.W. Bush would have won his reelection. Also please note it was the rats who forced him to renege on his "Read my lips, no new taxes" pledge. That is factual

Good article. It is absolutely true that the GOP has been off living in its own head for a long time. I attribute this not only to the longstanding tendency of all politicians to forget who elected them once they get into office, but to the fact that bad GOP leadership in Congress during the Obama years gave them the feeling that there was no point in even trying to oppose the uni-party policy consensus.

Obama ignored the legislative bodies in any case and pretty much took to ruling by fiat - things such as his immigration orders, for example, or even his attempts to interfere in local things like policing and criminal justice - and nobody stood up on their hind legs and fought back or even did more than make a polite murmur of objection. This is the thing that has clearly made the electorate, both Dem and GOP, think that the US form of government is over, the rule of law doesn’t apply anymore, and we might as well dissolve the legislature and go to one-man ruie, since that was what Obama tried and pretty much got away with. Now they just want the dictator to be on their side.

Of course, dictators never are on the side of anybody but themselves, as everybody throughout history has discovered a little too late. A recent example is the voters who elected the haranguing, irrational populist Hugo Chavez in VZ, and are now living in hunger and want under his successor while the late Hugo’s daughter flaunts her status as one of the four richest women in the world with the billions of dollars that Chavez funneled to her out of VZ.

I thought it couldn’t happen here, but it just might, as the consequence of GOP toleration of Obama’s eight years of unpunished, unrestrained lawlessness and contempt for democratic institutions.

Can I presume from you screen name that you are also a submariner?

Reason is that I have noticed that submariners, I guess because of the submarine culture, almost instantly get Trump, what he is doing and what he is about.

This is the kind of post that seals the fate of any chance of uniting behind anyone at all.

Trump voters will stay home because they have had enough of the insults.

I will stay home if this does not stop now. I am not alone.
