To the extent it’s still standing after yesterday, the Stop Trump movement is comforting itself with the world’s biggest lie: that John Kasich is the embodiment of the Republican Party, while Donald Trump is the bastard stepchild.
It’s exactly the opposite.
It is no longer a question of what the party wants. The voters — remember them? — keep showering Trump and Cruz with Ceausescu-like percentages. The combined vote for Trump and Cruz is a ringing chorus of what this party wants: a wall, deportation, less immigration and no job-killing trade deals.
In other words, what the party wants is the diametric opposite of what the donor and consultant class wants. One would have to search the history books to find a party establishment so emphatically rejected by the voters as today’s Republican Party has been.
Trump and Cruz don’t agree on everything — Cruz is more interventionist on foreign policy, and Trump is more aggressive on bringing manufacturing home. But there’s not much daylight between them on the crucial issue of whether to dissolve America’s borders. By now, they both say build a wall, reduce immigration and protect American jobs.
In other words, Trump and Cruz have totally rejected the Bush/Ryan/Rubio/Fox News/WSJ/RNC establishment position on immigration.
After Mitt Romney lost an election he should have won in 2012, the Republican National Committee convened a group of experts to determine what went wrong, producing what it called an “autopsy.” It was an autopsy because, you see, the party was dead. And the people who did the autopsy were the ones who killed it.
Have you ever heard of an autopsy being performed by the murderers?
The murderers’ main recommendation was that Republicans “embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform” — i.e., amnesty.

The “dirty masses” are doing exactly what the Founders intended that they should when confronted with a government that no longer served them, but expected them to serve government.
And the elites are horrified.
Her analysis is correct, but let’s not forget that she was one of the morons demanding we vote for Romney in 2012 because he was “electable”.
She’s often fantastically right, unless she’s fantastically wrong. But she’s always fantastic.
Freepers have tossed her out with the bathwater over her Mitt fetish.
Stupid. Everyone’s got their kink. Mitt’s hers. So what.
This is what Trump-haters here don’t understand. It isn’t about him, it’s about establishing a new political paradigm.
I’m starting to forgive her.
Lines to remember:
“Springtime for Pundits”
“Die Donor Scum”
Over the top, but it makes sense.
Then let them be very afraid! All their privileges will evaporate..
good lines worth repeating and copying
She sure is. Trump has paid for his trophy presidency. He didn’t need no stinking donors. He bought it all on his own.
I agree.
Far too many here have thrown Ann out, and she is a powerful force for OUR side.
It’s stupid.
Absolutely spot on, hammer-meets-nail, 100% exactly correct Ann Coulter.
For God’s sake Romney was running against losers and we were trying to STOP OBAMA!
At least she’s not calling Cruz a traitor in this piece.
That is why they are talking about a Ryan/Kasich ticket!
She has returned from the dark side and is forgiven.
No...it’s about prosecuting every godforsaken thief and shuckster throughout the cesspool of the house/senat/agencies to the fullest extent of the law and leave them penniless and groveling for such heinous actions against the American ....AMERICAN public they so casually abused and shat upon .
let’s not forget that she was one of the morons demanding we vote for Romney in 2012 because he was “electable”.OK we get it. You voted for Obama and we should have followed your brilliant lead.< /sarcasm>
One need not search too far. This election cycle seems to be a direct analog of the Andrew Jackson run for president, which killed the Federalist party (that day's GOPe) for a new party that was actually popular with the "great unwashed".
And Trump reminds me of Jackson himself....a largely self-made rich man who took those who attacked him out behind the barn. I suspect if dueling were still legal, that Trump would probably do the "walk ten paces, turn and fire" bit with some of his critics.
