To Save the Party, Pull the Plug on Trump Now
The Weekly Standard ^ | 08-11-2016 | Jonathan V. Last

Posted on 08/11/2016 4:59:25 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Donald Trump is not going to quit the race. The Republican party is not going to push him off the ballot. He may have a brief surge in the polls at some point, because the first rule of politics is that all races tighten.

Then again, maybe not. It could be that Trump's surge came and went during the final week of July and that the tightening period has already passed. But while we're talking about things that are not going to happen, understand this: Donald Trump is not going to win.

pull the plug BEFORE the debates? Are they that petrified of Hillary’s performance?

No surprise here...

Jonathan Last has not written any positive Trump articles, defines himself as a RINO Squish and this article is in Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol founder and editor....

Kristol is behind the spoiler campaign of Evan McMullin, so
of course he would want Trump out.

“What is wrong” is that they are certain that if Trump is elected they will not only be cutoff, but that they will be prosecuted for potentially capital crimes/felonies against the nation, the people, the constitution and our laws.

Their over the top repudiation of Trump and common American nationalist themes, are CLEAR indicators of the “fight or flight” response, in political terms.

Nobody reacts this crazily, UNLESS they are in fear of life, limb, incarceration or assassination. It’s not just money, power and influence (those are not immediate, visceral, life-threatening situations)... it is about their fear of the powers that be... killing them or incarcerating them for the rest of their natural lives.

They are collaborators with what used to be called treasonous conspirators against this great nation. And they fear the “rosenberg” solution, that might be coming their way, if we have a REAL change in the most corrupt square of government on the planet. DC.

“God is the only One who can stave off a full meltdown.”

So true. I have turned it over to the Lord God Almighty &
will leave it in His hands. - I hope & pray He won’t allow
Hillary’s minions to physically harm either the Trump or
the Pence families.

Hillary has lusted after “this” ambition for her life
most of her life evidently. IF she is kicking against the
Almighty, she might just as well pound sand for all the
good it will do her.

The fact that this woman, these people are just rabid to
herd in as many Jihadists as possible for nothing but to
use them for their votes and to he!! with us says a lot
about her and Hussein.

Just sickening!

The "conservative" cucks like Jonathan V. Last don't get it.

I was over at his Twitter feed just now.

There's a whole crowd of "weakly stan-Tards", Ted-staters and other "con" poseurs making snide comments about Trump.

They need US for our votes. We don't need them for ANYTHING.

They're stupid enough to leave snail-tracks on Twitter about how they REALLY feel about us proles. OMFG!!!

I’m not confident that Trump will do anything for us at all. He may just be the elites giving us a chance to blow off steam so they can postpone the revolution.

I’ll support him and hope for the best, but won’t be surprised if I end up disappointed.

But the exercise is good in that it is giving us to see who some of the sleeper subversives are.


Why do you feel that way? He is being attacked by everyone...actually mostly by globalist elites...he is running because of love of Country.

OK, honest question here and one that I ask in all curiosity as it needs to be faced.

Where do the conservative voters go if Trump loses?

McCain and Romney lost by a few percent of the national vote and were derided as Rino losers by most posters here.

We needed a real tough, hard-ass guy with the cojones to take it to the media and the establishment and then we’d win, for sure.

Well we have that candidate now and no mistake.

So if like his predecessors Trump loses by a few percentage points of the national vote where do we go? Who do we blame?

A genuine question asked in all honesty.

If the RNC pulls the plug it will be a blood bath down ticket. Trump could still win and the GOP lose everything else.

The "Republicans" who pretended they were different than the Democrats.

I went over to the author of this article's Twitter feed.

A more condescending, smug know-it-all you've never seen.

The only thing he doesn't seem to know is that his patter is ALL pro-Hillary, because it's anti-Trump.

Him and his smug pals think they're not going to get any on them in the event of a Trump defeat.

We saw them in the back of the bus, sabotaging things.

They're not "conservatives" - they're cryptoDemocrats.

Jonathan V. Last reminds me of C. Edmund Wright - only Wright isn't as big an @sshole...

That statement would blow the hair back on a number of freepers who've had run-ins with Wright.

Fine but you haven’t answered my question, if Trump loses who are you going to blame? Where will you go next?

Trump apparently is what we have always been looking for, the anti-Romney, the anti-McCain, but what happens if just like Romneya and McCain he still loses?

Where do you go then? Who is your dream candidate in 2020 if Trump blows it?
