“...would confirm his malign influence in Republican circles, opening the party to years of debilitating internal conflict. Perhaps Trumpism would not survive him; perhaps it would. “
I think more than a few would be happy if the Republican party as it exist today does go the way of the Whigs.
At some point in time the elite leaders of the party became secret Democrats but did not inform the the general membership of the party, continued to accept money and support. Yet, when the people gave them Congress with a mandate to stop or at least slow down Obama they did nothing.
They were exposed when Trump came on the scene and began to say things the American people wanted to hear, and rather than fall in line in support of Trump. The Republican party sided with the Democrats and attempted to destroy him.
So yes, Republican party needs to close up shop or simply be honest and call themselves Democrat Lite.
This author misses ALL the clues...
The only people who want a Trump presidency are THE PEOPLE.
Keep crying, Canuck, and we’ll have to build a dam across our northern border just to hold back your tears. The minor blame he has for the Democrats is for crying fascist and racist even against milquetoast Republicans that the words have been exhausted.
National Post is Canadian as is Andrew Coyne (b. 12/23/1960). This is the battle whimper of the uniparty Establishment which fears the outsider. I weep bitter tears for his angst! If he had been around at the time, he probably would have said the same about Ronald Reagan.
Obviously this loony author thinks everything in our country is just fine and dandy: rampant racism, trillions of dollars in never-to-be-paid debt, employment at an all-time low, billions upon billions of dollars being sent to countries who hate us and want us dead, no more respect from any other country in the world, the most dishonest, corrupt government EVER, murderous middle easterners spreading their poison throughout this land, etc., etc., etc. What a Utopia. I can’t imagine why any of us would want to change all that.
He’s all Wee We’d Up.
Worried Mexicans and muzzies will end up in Canada?
We looked over into the TOILET HOLE of the very prospect of
a HILLARY CLINTON Presidency; and up side of her as
Commander-in-Chief with BILL CLINTON as “First Laddie”,
DONALD J. TRUMP ABYSS looked wonderful!
God willing, I AM VOTING TRUMP!!!
Dear Andrew:
How horribly wrong you are in your bias that you can’t even see what has happened. Your hatred against anything not liberal. The cause of your, and your party’s problems is Hillary and her evil coupled with 8 years of Obama criminality blinds you in a latte foam.
You all delighted in Hillary and Obama flouting our laws and Constitution. You reveled in the excess and opulence that this Rainbow Whitehouse meant with all its hatred of traditional America and anybody not “of color” or Muslim or ‘refugee’.
All the while you partied in the “stick it to whitey Christian going’s on” but you didn’t even feel the deep rumbles that sprang from the bowels of America, DRIVE-BY AMERICA, asshole. That swell is akin to an earthquake in the deepest part of any ocean that goes unnoticed at first yet as it nears land and shallower parts, builds to a terrible tsunami of retribution and justice that will drench the likes of all you come election day.
I look forward to your effing suicide note on November 9, you asswipe.
Blame me...I’m Deplorable.
Can we grab our pitchforks now?
Creative wordsmith ing, that’s all it is.
Trump supporters know the facts. Trump has made himself heard at many, many rallies. We know the truth.
Journalists think their words will change the tide, but it’s just speculation of a result they are desperate for to happen.
Too bad. Democrats trusted a leadership who must be under the blackmailing influence of the Clintons.
There is no other explanation for the Superdelegates nominating such a shallow, dishonest, weak, corrupted, decrepit, uninspiring, and evil person.
The hysteria on the Left of a Trump presidency is both delicious and exasperating. We’ve spent eight years being forced to bow down to a Muslim communist or be called “racist” if we objected and, frankly, we’re sick of it. Nothing Trump does to the Left is going to be half as sickening as the tripe patriotic conservatism have had to swallow from the Shroom Gang and the Clinton Racketeers.
Massive unemployment? Check.
Rioting in the streets? Check.
Muslim terrorism expanded at home and abroad? Check.
Socialist health care? Check.
Unimpeded massive immigration? Check.
Using the Justice Department to exonerate wrongdoing? Check.
Using the IRS to persecute political enemies? Check.
Using the EPA to go after energy producers? Check.
Gay Marriage? Check.
Forcing transgender restrooms? Check.
Forcing churches to pay for abortions? Check.
What, in our wildest dreams, could Trump do to this country that is worse than what Obama and his crowd has made us endure?
These young communist wannabes are a bunch of drama queens. Abyss my ass.
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes.
This pearl clutching, fainting couch screed could have been written in 1979 - Reagan was going to blow up the world with a nuclear war - LOL
I was just in the grocery store this morning and saw a similar headline blaring from the Globe and Mail. Then later, I saw the National Enquirer headlining an allegation that Bill Clinton groped a woman while on board the campaign jet and Hillary apparently did or said nothing about it.
Feels kind of strange to put more trust and belief into what I saw concerning the National Enquirer story as opposed to the Globe and Mail or in this case the National Post.
It's come.
Ahhh, shivering with Antici....pation...
