What we’re seeing is the rift between patriotic Americans who want to preserve this country, and the globalist cuckservatives who want to continue to import cheap labour for crony capitalists.
“the GOP establishment has become so corrupted, its members would knowingly reject a savior just to protect their comfortable way of life”
Not only that, but the establishment’s comfortable way of life is exactly funding 100% of LIBERALISM.
Says the people who embraced abortion and gay marriage.
It is a breakup, I think, rather than a “crackup”.
"former Sen. Bob Dole, Sen. Orrin Hatch and a passel of consultants were quoted in the press giving Neville Chamberlain-like assurances that Trump was a man they could deal with while Ted Cruz was the real threat to their food bowls."
The GOPe’s not pinin’! It’s passed on! This party is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Because it kissed Dorkbama the Muslim’s Obamahole, it is pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It is off the twig! It has kicked the bucket, It has shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARTY!!
Wasn’t Goldberg one of the “dirty thirty”?
People in Washington, D.C. who called themselves “Conservatives” blew smoke up the peoples’ arses about their economic future for 25 years.
Finally the people gave up on them and decided to
support a Populist.

Under the bus you go, Jonah. Thou shall not cross Mr. Game Show.
I don’t know if I’d call this a conservative crack-up. I think that many normally conservative Americans, including myself, have really realized over the past 7 years how completely ineffective “conservative” politicians and pundits have been in advancing a conservative agenda. And that was after 8 years of Compassionate Conservative George Bush, who had a liberal economic agenda but who still got knocked around like a punching bag and labeled “conservative” without fighting back. Its sad to say that the most conservative president in my adult life probably is Bill Clinton — he was forced into it by the Gingrich Congress, but it ended up better for conservatives than anything since (and the Bush Sr. presidency before it). I want someone who is actually going to win some battles. I don’t know who I am supporting in the presidential election yet but I fully understand that just because someone says conservative things doesn’t mean that person is going to be willing or able to advance a conservative agenda.
Jonah Goldberg needs to say it as it is... the GOP lied openly to their base to get re-elected to jobs that were little more than sinecures.
Come on Johah - speak the truth....
Has Jonah ever bought some new pants?
For them there is, as the Democrat activists and the media discovered to their delight, a comfort in being in a position of opposition: one can say anything, however radical, and never be called to account for the results. It is that comfort zone that the persistent "Blame Bush" theme attempts to maintain. It is the comfort zone that establishment Republicans such as Boehner and Ryan find themselves in as well: despite being in the majority, they can't do anything and would rather be blamed for failure than blamed for the results of success. Everybody on the inside wins and the rest of us lose.
As things appear to be developing, there emerges only one truly establishment candidate, even if both sides loathe her, only one who will be satisfied to take her graft and leave the comfort zone in place. That's Hillary's hope, and it's her only hope.
