Veteran conservative voice Patrick Buchanan issued a stern warning to the Republican Party on Thursday: Throw your weight behind GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump now — or prepare to lose next year’s election to Hillary Clinton.
Buchanan, an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, told Newsmax TV the freak-out over Trump's proposal to temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the U.S. is misguided and will make the billionaire developer turn independent as his supporters flee the GOP.
And it will open the door to Clinton, the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential frontrunner, to waltz into the Oval Office in the 2016 general election.
"Somebody's got to tell the Republican Party, look, everybody's advising you how you get rid of Trump, but you destroy him, you destroy his issues or you deny his issues and arguments, where do you think those people are going to go? They're going to stay home," Buchanan said on "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth.
Trump’s call for a ban until the government shores up its vetting process to keep Middle Eastern terrorists from entering — as did a Pakistani woman who with her husband killed 14 in California last week — has been condemned by his presidential competitors and Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus.
Buchanan said the American establishment has become "unhinged" by their reaction to Trump’s idea.
"The establishment is unhinged. It is unhinged and the incredible overreaction – using terms like fascist and Nazi and Hitler and Mussolini to Trump's suggestion about a temporary moratorium on immigration from the Middle East until we find out how we can vet folks a lot better than we're doing right now," Buchanan said.

I have to agree with Pat? ah, it’s happened before.
This lot of GOP fools hate being in charge
Pat hasn’t found out Ivanks is Jewish yet.
Pat, the GOP is just fine with a Hillary win.
GOPe: “We’d rather lose than give up our pork!!!!”
Heh. Me, too.
Hey Pat, where the heck you been man? the DC establishment would prefer the hag be in the WH and they don’t give a crap about which party services them as long as they continue to remain in control. Hey Pat, it would do for you to forget party and start talking about how to preserve this COUNTRY.
Pat Buchanan Warns GOP: “Support Trump or Hillary Wins”
GOP to Pat Buchanan: “We’d rather Hillary win than support Trump”
They will be cutting off their noses to spite their two-faces.
Yep Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson
I’m worried the GOP Establishment would rather lose to Hillary than win with Trump.
that may well ring in revolution #2
The reason that the elite are unhinged is because they are horrified that if the borders get closed their dream of electing a “new people” suffers a serious set-back.
The GOPe don’t care. They figure they can still finagle a place at the hog trough under Hillary.
I believe that Trump and Cruz have been together in this election from the beginning both to save the country!!!! They had a meeting early on I believe Cruz will be on Trumps ticket, Trump goes out says ALL of the FIREY statements all Americans are thinking and Trump takes the heat, Cruz goes along very quietly building the evangelical vote and VERY strong ground game and BINGO you have a HUGE winning ticket!!!!
Most of them would prefer Hillary to Trump.
Hillary is corrupt. She can definitely be bought.
That works for the GOPe and their C of C puppet masters.

You very well could be onto something here!
Last time it was estimated that Twenty Three million stayed home rather than vote for Romney. If Trump is cheated out of the nomination by the fat cats at the RNC, then my guess is that number will double.
