Give me a break. Most of the people interviewed in this article have been advisers to losing campaigns.

I have no desire to vote for any party who wants to take down their frontrunner. I will stay home on election day.

It’s looking (again) like the GOP doesn’t WANT the WH

If this operation is a success, it is the END of the Republican party, IMHO.

Sure it will work:
Get conservatives mad at Trump’s moderate positions and get moderates mad at his conservative positions.
Divide his coalition and the Republicans end up with a moderate that conservatives won’t support or a conservative moderates won’t support.
Bingo: President Hillary.

The First Purpose of American political reporting is to keep moderates and conservatives divided so the liberals can rule.

Trump is going to win this election, or the election will default to Hillary.

It seems these “Republicans” trying to interfere are more interested in protecting their own interests, than in actually winning this election.

The collective wisdom after the Paris terrorist attacks - that voters would gravitate toward a battle-tested, policy-minded candidate with experience to lead in such turbulent times has yet to take hold.

Guffaw! That's pretty stupid even for the collective wisdom.

They are flailing and they know it. Imagine this. There is a cancer patient with a doctor who is well paid, and not terribly scrupulous. The patient begs, "Is there any way doc? Is there any way I can beat this thing?" The doctor tels him there is a 25% chance that a new treatment combined with an extreme dosage of the same of old drugs MIGHT do the trick.

It just so happens that the treatment costs as much as you have in your account, which cannot be used for much else anyway. In his mind, the doctor knows that the odds of success is more like 2%, and that due more to oter forces that have NOTHING to do with the expensive regimen. The patient doesn't know that, and doesn't want to believe it.

What does the patient say? When the treatment fails, the doctor says "We gave it our best shot, but we knew it was a tough case." On to the next patient.

Meanwhile, his rhetoric has become even more heated and controversial. Talk of a national registry for Muslims in America, surveillance of mosques and his insistence, contrary to evidence, that Muslim Americans cheered 9/11, among other things,

'and his insistence, contrary to evidence' This is a bullshit LIE.

Many mooselimbs, living in America, did cheer the take down of the Twin Towers. We all saw it and know that it happened.

I'm a Cruzer, but lying about Trump {and all pubbies} is a msm hallmark and they just expect all people to accept their lies as gospel.

They can't understand that this is one of the reasons that Trump is doing so well.

WE ALL HATE AND DISTRUST ALL OF THE MEDIA, INCLUDING MOST OF THE FOX TALKING HEADS, WITH VERY RARE EXCEPTIONS.

Club for Growth spent $1 million on ads in Iowa pointing out Trump's flip-flops over the years, apparently to no avail.

I have no problem with someone changing their mind, as long as it was a response to the revelation of facts rather than a compromise of principles. What I detest is someone like Hillary who says things to please the crowd in front of her at the moment and then flipping positions later the same afternoon because the audience changed...not the facts.

Truly the GOPe is the “Stupid Party”. They learned NOTHING from

1988-win with a bad candiate on the strength of Reagan’s legacy
1992-Lose,
1996-Lose,
2000-Electorial count victory-Popular vote count lose, 2004-skin of the teeth victory,
2008-lose
2012- humiliating inexcusable lose with a pathetic canidate to the worst US President in history.

Really moronic for the GOP Leadership to go to war with its Political base.

Running a political party as if it is your own exclusive golf club is NOT how you win elections. The only reason the GOPe did anything in 20010 and 2014 was Obama is just that bad a President, and the GOPe was over run by the Tea Party movement.

And what did the GOPE do with it’s victories? Promptly went to DC and gave the Obama and the Donor Class everything it asked for. It purposely turned it back on every single promise it made in 2014 to it’s voters.

And now, when the bill is being presented for the GOPe’s corrupt incompetent defiance of its voting base, it wants to launch these absurd childish diatribe and personal attacks the candidate who is attracting hundreds of thousands of new voters to it’s party.

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Perhaps the GOPe has finally crossed that line from merely stupid to out right insane

Hillary is “battle tested” — Benghazi for example.

You sure that is the experience we want?

These pundits, I tell ya.

The Kasich PAC is planning on running a $2.5 Million ad campaign to take Trump down. I don’t think $2.5 million buys a whole lot of ads any more. One bunch ran $1 million worth of anti-Trump ads in Iowa a couple of months ago, and Trump is still on top.

Liz Mair’s Trump Card effort netted a whopping $559 and her gofundme account is now gone. On her twitter feed she was boasting about having donated $100 of her own money to the effort to get the ball rolling. Well, it doesn’t appear to have rolled very far. Can’t conduct a proper “guerilla campaign” with less than $600. Maybe a few hand made signs.

If this is the low caliber type effort, it doesn’t really appear that Trump has much to worry about.

The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.

Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.

Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.

Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.

Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.

Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.
Something’s gonna blow.

I have watched many of Trump’s campaign speeches. When you see the guy get up and do a 60 - 90 minute speech every other day or so before thousands with a phalanx of MSM cameras recording word in the back of the hall and doing this week after week you have have got to conclude there is no one even close to this level of unabated determination. When Trump decided to run this time, he didn’t just stick his toe in the water, he jumped in head first. The huge crowds, and the level of enthusiasm belies anyone who says the people will get tired of Trump. At the speeches you see fired up attendees clapping, laughing and shouting as they feed off Trump and Trump feeds off the crowds. He says he can feel the love in the room, which keeps him going. These tens of thousands of energized supporters are Trump soldiers who live in all the major states with early primaries. Trump’s combined free use of muti-media outlets and his unrelenting ground campaign pressure create a steamroller effect, running over the entire candidate field.

Tom Rath, a New Hampshire attorney and longtime Republican activist backing Kasich, says the offensive against Trump “is a chance to see how he plays defense.”

It's like Obama and Putin "let's see how Vlad plays defense." Well he doesn't.

I have no doubt that the Cheap Labor Express wants Trump taken down.
I do doubt that they will be successful.
If they are it will be the end of the GOP.
