Itâs not just the Republican establishment whoâs entering full-on panic mode given GOP frontrunner Donald Trumpâs continued â and, some are now saying, potentially unstoppable â momentum. Democrats as well are starting to freak out.
Harvard University political theorist â and Democrat â Danielle Allen, writing for the Washington Post, is now promoting âcoordination across party linesâ to stop Trump. After comparing Trump to Hitler â and quickly saying whether such a comparison is accurate is beside the point â Allen argues that Hillary Clinton cannot predictably be relied upon to beat Trump in the general election, so âTrump has to be blocked in your primary.â

The smell of Dem fear is in the air.
The desperate have no shame.
And the DIMs are not worried about Hillary under FBI investigation??
The democrat party should just acknowledge the inevitable and have both of their candidates withdraw.
Maybe Sanders can help Hillary wipe her email server with a cloth.
The republican establishment lost their battle to stop Trump Saturday when their boy checked out. Already the LSM is pushing kasich as the “last chance”.
Operation Chaos. Best of luck with that, kids. In order for the Democrats to pull that off, they’ll have to be settled enough within their own party to afford to lose those votes to disruption. And last I heard, they’re having a little difficulty with that.
Every Democrat I’ve talked to is in awe of how stupid Republicans can be to nominate someone with such a high negative rating.
The Gang of 8 alliance is riding in to help Rubio.
What a surprise.
Why would liberals want to stop one of their own?
She should come to FR, the Cruzbots will straighten her out on this! LOL!
The political consultant class is the problem... and they service both parties. That they would unite against Trump is a given... and with them all the folks they hire...
When competent people like Trump run on their own they become a threat to the “Mike Murphy’s” of the world. Jeb was a sad but willing victim of the Establishment Consultant system. The consultant class is giving us milquetoast politicians who can’t DO anything...
How did this happen?
The consultant class ‘interviews’ people they’re willing ‘to allow to hire them’. Yes, that seems strange, but they aren’t willing to let just anyone hire them. They’re in this for the money and power - and THEY have requirement.
Consultants want ‘likable’ types who will listen to them and DO what they say. Someone who won’t give them a hard time about spending money for useless ads - a “jeb” type. Jeb’s the ideal type for a consultant firm... malleable, sweet, listens to the consultant rather than to his own heart and is willing to SPEND A BUNDLE.
The reason our elected people are so lame is BECAUSE the consultant class is choosing them NOT for what they can do for the United States, but for how easy they are to manipulate.
The consultant class ARE the enemy - they’re the rulers of the Establishments of both parties. AND they won’t go gentle into that good night... They’ll destroy Trump if they can... their corrupt jobs depend on the incentives from hell and phony ‘leaders’ that can’t lead... Trump has his work cut out for him...
You can bet that the Bushes, Lindsey Graham, McCain, and countless other republicans will joyfully join hands with the dems to destroy Trump. They all would rather see the country swirl down the 3rd World drain than risk seeing the gop establishment lose its death grip on the party.
The other day Jeb was saying that Trump was “stealing our party.” Which reminded me of the old song, “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.”
I don’t get it. Democrats, re-register as Republicans to vote for Rubio.... and prevent yourselves from voting in your own primary?
Liberals are having horrible problems getting their voters out to vote on their own candidates this cycle, and she expects people to do all this work... to vote Rubio?
I’ve already put too much thought into this ridiculous nonsense. No one is going to bother doing this.
I can’t shake the bad bad feeling that no matter what Hillary wins. Either through electoral college collaboration or simple voter fraud through illegal votes. Obama will not let his legacy be challenged.

What you post has merit, but the biggest problem to me is liberalism, regardless of what class it come from.
I’m not as confident as you that Trump isn’t or won’t become the establishment class.
Criminal investigations are just another day in the life of a dim.
This is an extremely important article and must be read by everyone.
How can this be true? The republicans keep saying Trump has the lowest chance of beating ANY dimocrat.
