Yup. Poor mitt he thought that if trump failed people would call his name.
I guess Mormons don’t tell the future very well
Someone alert atheists George Will, Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer and S.E. Cupp.
“I’m willing to do anything in my power to stop Trump from hijacking our party,” - The Cheap Labor Express
Any lack of chillax with the Trump supporters is due to an anti-American-voter attempt to deny the voters their choice.
Or, looked at another way, a fever is not actually the sickness itself, but the immune system's reaction to a malicious foreign invasive entity, including mutations of its own cells.
Parse it as you want. I would say, though, that the disease is not in the Trump supporters. Rather, Trump supporters are like fathers defending their families from a hoard of invasive marauding rabid raccoons in our back yard. It's the raccoons that are rabid, sick, fevered and frothing. We may be sweating, but only from clubbing the rabid animals, or running to grab our guns. Perspiration is sweat, but not fever.
As an example of a rabid feverish raccoon, turn to George Will's latest piece of foaming drool. Now that's a fever. And that's not a 'Trump supporter seeing a path to victory.'
There has been a fever, and a disease, and a lull in the fever. But better to understand which parts of the analogy apply to which players. Fevers subside when the disease is losing and retreating, or skittering away out of cowardice, if only temporarily.
That would not be those who support Trump's candidacy, ideas or policies.
Let’s revisit this opinion Wed. a.m.
Huh?
Honey, you are not the Republican in the party!
Good!
I hope the Cruz fever breaks for some of the long-time FReepers who are still pining for a contested convention and a Cruz nomination that elects Hillary.
Party quizlings talk big. But in the end they aren’t doers. They will go along get along because that’s the only thing they know. Just like these traitors did with Obummer.
It is not Trump fever, it is “GOP’s Stop-Trump Fever”
No, in fact I believe he was involved in a protest against the VP when he was in office.
Is that the case—or have they simply gone underground, like Priebus has been for some time, pretending to be resigned—but really working on Plans Q, R, and S?
The GOPE realizes that Trump is likely to win both the nomination, and in November.
And when he does, he will remember those who tried to cheat him, unless they make peace with him now.
Trump has both the willingness AND the money to ensure well-financed primary campaigns against those he particularly disliked.
Well Mitt’s niece is a Trump supporter, so going against a relative does happen. I had seen this writer’s name before and wondered if he was related to Dick. My brother-in-law used to work with Cheney when he was at the Pentagon. Said he was a very smart man.
“And it’s been clear almost from the beginning that Donald Trump has the ability to assemble a nontraditional bloc of supporters. … The ability to cut across traditional party boundaries — like ‘80, ‘92 and 2008 — will be key, and Trump is much better positioned to achieve that.”
And this is a GOOD thing!
“Cruz has injected a level of vileness to this campaign that, frankly, should never be part of any campaign.”
Do you notice how the Stop Trump people don’t seem to have a single good thing to say about Cruz? They are just using Cruz as a tool to stop Trump.
They do not like him or respect him.
They’re not in it to win it. They are getting positioned to pick up the pieces after November.
The GOP-e are like the last days of the Berlin bunker. Someone needs to do one of those Hiter rant parodies using Boehner or Romney as Hitler.
Trump will never win over the tut-tut-ing lace cuff and snuffbox ‘conservatives’ like Krauthammer but all those who actually want to keep the country from turning into a latin american swill pit will come on board. All the rentiers and position-seekers who initially bet on the wrong horses will follow in time.
