Inside the GOP’s Shadow Convention [NeverTrump GOPe]
Politico ^ | July 19, 2016 | Shane Goldmacher

Posted on 07/19/2016 1:03:54 PM PDT by C19fan

It was mid-April when as many as 1,000 alumni of the most recent Republican administration descended on Dallas for a staff reunion to reminisce about sunnier times. Former President George W. Bush autographed cowboy hats, Vice President Dick Cheney snapped selfies and First Lady Laura Bush chatted up the crowd. The memories were happy; the fajitas were plentiful. When it came to talk of 2016, though, the mood was grim. The Republican primary had just narrowed to essentially two choices, each anathema to these card-carrying members of the GOP establishment: Ted Cruz and, even more egregiously, Donald Trump.

The GOP version of the Tsarist White Army preparing to retake the throne. They seem fine with 4/8 years of Hillary as long as they get back in the drivers seat of the GOP lemon.

If they succeed in getting Hitlary elected for 4-8 years, there won't be a GOP lemon for them to go back to.

4-8 more years of a D president will almost guarantee 4-8 MORE years of a D president. Hillary will spend all her years bringing in millions more illegals that will be turned into Democrat voters; she will buy every state level politician she can and remove every voter law that is designed to prevent voter fraud.

Note to all you Never Trumpers...you will never see the White House again if you let her in...this election is THAT important!

the GOPe wants ISSUES not solutions.

They want a perennial protest so they can lead a pretend fight opposition.

Simulated Representation.

There goes Politico again trying to create divisions and animosity.

It was Manafort who shrugged it all off saying these guys were in the past and now is about the future.

What were these jack$&&$& reminiscing about? How they helped sell out the Republic to globalizing, illegal immigration and warmongering for the neo-cons? How they helped elect a two-term anti-American Muslim?

The “demonstrations” in Fergueson Mo and other places have been largely organized by communist groups, eg the Revolutionary Communist Party. They and all communist groups have a large presence in Chicago.

They are at the fore in the anti-Trump demonstrations as well.

These are traitors. I am disgusted to think how much time and money I spent to help them gain and keep power, including at 2 conventions.
