At stake in 2016 is the White House, the Supreme Court, the Senate and, possibly, control of the House of Representatives.
Hence, Republicans have a decision to make.
Will they set aside political and personal feuds and come together to win in November, after which they can fight over the future of the party and the country?
Or will they split apart, settling scores now, lose it all, and, then, after November, begin a battle to allocate blame for a historic defeat that will leave wounds that will never heal.
Republicans have been here before.
After the crushing defeat of 1964, Govs. Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney and William Scranton, whose principles required them to abandon Barry Goldwater, discovered that, when the cheering of the press stopped, they carried the mark of Cain.
As national leaders, they were finished.
Richard Nixon, who had lost to JFK, lost to Gov. Pat Brown, quit politics and moved to New York to practice law, took off two months in 1964 to campaign for Barry Goldwater.
Four years later, with Barry’s backing, Nixon was rewarded with the party’s nomination, and the presidency.
Now between Goldwater and Trump there are great differences. A relevant one is this: Trump still has a chance of becoming president.
In August 1964, Barry was 36 points behind LBJ. As of today, Trump is 10 points behind Clinton. From Harry Truman to George H.W. Bush, many presidential candidates have been able to close a 10-point gap and win.

Trump is like a Samurai warrior with attacks by the enemy with swords coming from all sides. Fight the good fight Donald. Without you as Prez, this country is on the road to further ruin. Pat Buchanan has got it exactly right here.
Said “ We have Never been here before” WELL I do not think We have EVER been Here before, and if we do not put that Witch out what we will see is not Pretty.
Trump is ahead, not behind. The polls are obviously false - look at the difference in turnout, the overpolling of rats, the admitted changes in polling methodology, etc.
It’s all bunk.

Someone sent me this polling site on Twitter which I haven’t come across before.
What seems like more accurate numbers at this site.
Trump has a voting block the media and the dems and rino’s don’t want to talk about. It’s the ‘secret’ vote. It’s the vote of those who still possess some common sense.
Good stuff right there. Thanks for the info...
“False polls, being pushed to legitimize a massive vote fraud effort coming in Nov. It’s pure brute force Soviet or Chi-com one-party state tactics. I hope most people have become wise to this BS media effort run out of the DNC and rent seeking RNC...... Trump is eccentric, awesome, I can’t wait to vote for him, in Nov.”
I agree. I think you summed up the situation well.
Pat Buchanan is exactly right.
We have a serious choice to make.
Voter turnout will be key — to counter all the Dem fraud.
Bump!
The Goldwater STUPID Argument: stuck on stupid.
Goldwater lost because he followed a Presidential assassination. END of LINE.
Take all the analyses and file them in the trash can.
One thing about those polls, accountability is far off. They can twist them to their hearts’ content.
...while he's swatting at mosquitoes........
Just wait until the debates...
Trump Trumps the Liberals’ Fake Outrage Clichés
Uh, the DNC? The DNC is an empty shell right now, being barely run by token Donna Brassiere, after having shelled its Chairman, CEO, COO, and media horn, in three short weeks. The DNC can't tie their own shoes right now.
That's partly what this attack was about, to deflect from the DNC mass firing, the 400m ransom, anything to insulate Hillary.
This was a coordinated MSM action, the Summer Playbook, we've seen it a million times - but the MSM is scared as hell, if Cankles is only +4 going into the Olympics. They know they can't pull her fat out of the fire when his rallies are 100x larger than hers.
It would be the irony of ironies if Ted Cruz, Mark Levin, Glennie Back, Max Boot, Ronald Radosh, the editorial board of National Review and others identified as leaders of the conservative movement play the role that Rockefeller, Romney and the liberal Republicans played in 1964 to put a Democrat into the White House.
yep.
The polls are psy-ops designed to throw water on the fire.
the fire that is a burning passion to be done with the globalists
The Donald, his campaign and party need to cease attacking one another to the elation of a hostile media, and redirect all their fire on the sole obstacle between them and a Republican sweep.
Good article. And I'll not often say that of Buchanan.
