Establishment Republicans Tired Of ‘Slick Moral Preening’ By GOP Trump Opponents

Every day of the Donald Trump campaign seems to bring with it a new article about an establishment Republican whose conscience can’t bear to back the reality TV star.

For those who haven’t made that decision, these relentless news items are starting to smart. Some Washington Republicans wish these folks and their consciences would shut up.

The most recent insult came Monday with a Politico story that began, “Former President George W. Bush’s Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy is the latest high-ranking Republican to announce his support for Hillary Clinton’s White House bid.”

Surprised the Huff Post published this article.

IF, IF these morons are successful in electing that witch, the down-ballot does not matter. The Republican Party will be DEAD.

The Cheap Labor Express Republicans are going to do everything they can to block the citizens from electing a President who would enforce the laws.
In every election since the last amnesty they have nominated an amnesty candidate.
This time they got Trumped and are very unhappy about it.
The most important thing is to prevent the citizens from reversing 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.

Uh oh.... someone’s going to getting a pink slip...

GOPe has no “morals” to preen, quite frankly. What they have to protect are insider crony elitism and vested self-interests.

Every Republican candidate for any elected office has been labeled a racist for my entire life.

The only thing that is different THIS time, is these sore loser RINO’s giving the left cover on the racist labeling.

I’m not sure which is worse, the slick moral preening of the NeverTrumpers, or the cynical calculation of the GOP establishment.

The cynical calculation of the establishment is rational, at least.

Last time I checked, voters in Republican primaries were sick and tired of GOPe. A total of 16 opponents were lined up against Trump (plus the MSM) and he kicked their butts up and down the street. The dog-butted Ted Cruz among them.

Anyone care to fact check?

worth a tagline update

" “The slick moral preening in the media by former Bushies and NeverTrumpers at bottom reflects their desperate need to be accepted in the liberals’ putative morally superior universe. Thus their public shaming of Trump and his supporters has nothing to do with the Republican Party or conservatism ― the latter of which they know very little, as evidenced by the egregious big-government achievements that they enabled and advanced in the Bush administration. What they really want is to be liked by their enemies. And oh yes: to assure their well-paying clients who may be thinking of cutting them loose that they are on the side of the right and the true. It’s all so pathetic and disgusting.”

I knew the globalist backstabbing branch of the Republican Party was out of touch, arrogant, and out of control with their campaign lies. But I always thought that if they got voted out, they'd leave. We should've known better than that after they stole the nomination for Cochran.....we thought they'd learn from the anger that was expressed, that the majorities in DC were one last chance. WRONG!!!

Those Republicans who are losing, it's because nobody except themselves will ever vote for them again. They're going nutty because they didn't control both nominations.

If they somehow steal this election, it's all over for the US. The Illuminati won't even pretend our votes matter. Isn't that what happened with mainland Europe?

Trump-bashing Bush hack Tony Fratto is associated with the ‘Center for Global Development’.

A look around that site should tell you where his allegiance lies, and the ‘Global’ in their name is the first clue.

A lot of these “Republicans” who are voting for Clinton were never real Republicans to begin with.

They have always been democRats pretending to be Republican in order to get a job. They are slithering snakes.

For example, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Nathan Deal, Kelly Ayotte just to name a few. There are many of these bastards in the GOP.

I think the GOP establishment has two wings. One is made up of real Democrats who have been successful in infiltrating the top levels of the GOP leadership and are being successful in destroying it from within. The other branch are Republicans who campaigned as “Mr Smith Goes to Washington”, but once they got there they sold out and became “Mr Moneybags”. Both establishment wings don’t care about the party nor the nation. They serve to please their Uniparty overlords and line their own pockets and pad their bank accounts. Trump will win the election but the GOP is a dead party regardless.

“Former President George W. Bush’s Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy....”

Like I should care what some low-ranking bureaucrat thinks. His desk is probably located in some closet.

Listen, Republican party: NO REPUBLICAN who won’t vigorously work to elect Donald Trump will EVER get an ounce of my support EVER AGAIN

Why are you surprised, it is a hit piece against Donald Trump. One look at this tells where the author of this piece os coming from:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
