Establishment Republicans Appear to Be Hoping for Democratic Election Wins

Establishment Republicans are indicating that they would rather see Democratic electoral wins rather than grassroots conservatives — justifying a long-standing fear from the party base that GOP elites are closer to Democrats than to the conservative movement. The preference by Republicans submerged in the swamp for a “sensible” candidate to win was on display throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, when many Republicans kept Trump at arm’s length and jumped to the nearest microphone to criticize him at any opportunity.

This stopped when Trump won in November, with some critics such as Mitt Romney turning into admirers as they fished for a job, but that attitude has reared its head since Judge Roy Moore’s upset victory in the Alabama Senate primary last month over establishment-backed Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL).

McConnell, Ryan and their band of RINOs hated Trump during the primary, they still hate Trump and would rather have a democrat elected in 2020 than him. I just wish the president understand this fact. He seems to be oblivious to it.

Lots of campaign slogans and speeches have gone into the garbage as the pledges to roll-back ObamaCare and to vigorously pursue tax reform have suddenly come up EMPTY! About the only thing that they have in the ammo locker is to keep Pelosi and Schumer out of the leadership seats. In Texas they call this all hat, no cattle!

Luckily, these losers are losers.

It’s true. They are liars and losers. Double standard hypocrites who want conservative support if their candidate wins the primary, but won’t give it when their candidate loses.

Roy Moore today is an example and Christine O’Donnell is the classic example when they blew their cover.

They will then do all they can to see a conservative candidate lose then claim their guys are therefore the only ones who win.

It’s a scam and a racket and not even true.

It’s like when they said if those crazy conservatives shut down the government in ‘13, then Dems will win in a landslide in ‘14.

Didn’t happen, the opposite happened.

I hope as many as possible are primaried out.

One thing a real conservative would never do is hope for any Republican to lose an election. It would be unheard of for a political party to have such divisive elements in it.

The GOPe elitist-globalists are not just "closer" to Democrats, they're identical to them. The GOPe will die a much-deserved death only when the vast majority of conservatives figure this out.

Republican v Democrat, liberal v conservative and the lies they spew, it’s the ole good cop bad cop ploy. It’s resulted in billions of $ being scammed from the people and has enriched the ruling class as they so planned. It’s worked for society’s ruling elite for well over a hundred years and will likely continue because it ensures the social control by the world’s wealthy few.

If you just take the person out of the picture and take a long look at the Trump program, Anyone would have to say it is the most conservative program in the history of the nation. If you are conservative you must get totally behind it. It is what we have been wanting throughout my lengthy lifetime.

I would not doubt that the RINO’s are slipping money to the dimoKKKRAT candidate. Let’s see how much money they are going to spend on Roy Moore. I heard they spent $30 million on his defeat.

“One thing a real conservative would never do is hope for any Republican to lose an election. It would be unheard of for a political party to have such divisive elements in it.”

Exactly.

Objectively we have some like that on our side, who would rather see a Dem win than a moderate Republican.

A “moderate Republican” like McCain or Gramnesty? If “moderate” Republicans were 1/10th as loyal as moderate Democrats, you might have a point.

As it stands, “hardcore” Republicans have done nothing but obstruct the most conservative presidential agenda in decades. All this after willingly enabling the rape of our constitutional republic for eight years? Those moderates?

A pox on all your moderates...

It seems the Uniparty/Left are now so acutely aware of their imminent, permanent demise that they’re shrieking and stabbing to influence how the history books will record them. Rats cornered is their behavior for the last few months.

It is all about keeping their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.
They invited those 30 million illegal aliens here and they do not want us to send them home.
