It is Time for Trump to Unify the Party
American Thinker ^ | May 31, 2016 | C. Edmund Wright

Posted on 05/31/2016 8:30:35 AM PDT by conservative98

Donald Trump might have written The Art of the Deal, but the title he should peruse today is Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. His more vocal supporters, and by that I mean those who act out on the internet precisely as Donald does on the stump, should pick up a copy as well. Both the candidate and his hard-core supporters have missed the idea that it is the job of the winner to unite a party.

Oddly the Trumpists defend their offensive and insulting demeanor by saying that neither John McCain nor Mitt Romney reached out to voters like them. Uh, well maybe…and how did that work out again? And Trump has not learned this lesson to date.

Consider: while many in the Republican Party rally to his side -– albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm -- Trump continues to make it almost impossible for large swaths of the party’s voters to join the Trump train. He is maybe the sorest winner in American political history. Sore losers are one thing, but sore winners are an entirely different sub-species.

From the article ....

“For the record, I was one of those Cruz supporters, and had made the Hobson’s choice that since I vote in purple North Carolina I will likely take an airsick bag into the booth and pull the lever for the liberal New York son of a bitch over the liberal New York bitch. So call me #NauseousTrump.”

I can feel the wisdom of this kind and gentle author percolating through my offensive demeanor.

Another nose in the air neocon chimes in telling us unwashed rubes that we need to behave.

Once the primaries end in the next few weeks, the uniting of the party begins.

The open borders, pro-Muslim, pro-invasion neocons don’t want to be united.

That is why they stood in solidarity with the Chicago rioters, and insisted that Trump brought that on.

Why not start now? In politics, a few weeks can be a lifetime.

“...the Trumpists...”

Maybe YOU could win friends and influence people MORE by referring to us as Trump supporters instead of making up smartass names....

I don't think it's good advice to tell a candidate to abandon what's been working for him in order to appease people who will never like him. Republicans have been following this milk-sop approach to national politics for decades now, betraying their supporters and their principles, while Democrats take the easy wins that result and laugh at conservatives.

A comment from the article on Ole “C”:

VonMisesJr The_Heretic70 • 4 hours ago

“Unifying the Party” is fascist propaganda for Trump should cave on the Wall and TPP NWO. Ole “C” wrote a book, but he is one dumb SOB that one questions can even read if he thinks that intelligent Trump supporters will fall for his Billy Kristol elitist word scam.

This POS has railed against Trump for a year and now that he is sucking hind teat and about to get pushed off the last nipple of nourishment, he wants the other Alpha males and strong of the litter to play communist redistribution?

The only chance Trump has of blowing the Presidency at this point is to cave to little fascists like “Lyin” Ryan, “Loser” Romney, Billy Kristol and ole “C” selling out the movement to continue 16th to 18th century Mercantilism so fascist ole “C” and his comrades can skim from phony “Free Trade” for their elitist lifestyles.

The problem for old “C” is we are not stupid but every indication is he must be to think we would fall for such infantile fascist propaganda?

Yeah...

Screw the party. I hope Trump burns it to the ground.

Until you recognize there is only one party in D.C. you cannot understand what it will take to start to restore Liberty instead of arguing about how fast or slow we will continue to lose Liberty.

The party is the Elite Ruling Party. Some have a D and some have a R beside there name.

How is Trump himself expected to unify the party with people like Bill Kristol, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz and the #Never Trump-ists running amok?

Well, MR. C.E Wright.

Nothing you say has come to fruition, everything you say turns to sand.

All your machinations, proclamations, attempts to sway and otherwise browbeat the stupid ignorant ones, has come to nothing.

You have become your nemesis, Mr. Rove.

And, just like him, you now have hints and direction as to how Mr. Trump can improve his position and unite the party?

LOL.

Dude, The voters, patriots all, ARE united,

Guess those Reagan dems were not fizzled out as a group after all, eh?
