For the last eight months or so, a significant portion of the Republican party's voters have been in thrall to a bizarre, Occupy-esque conspiracy theory, which holds as its central thesis that sabotage and pusillanimity are the root causes of the Right's recent woes. In this mistaken view, the conservative movement's failure to counter all of the Obama era's excesses is not the product of the crucial democratic and structural factors that prevent any one faction from ushering in substantial change, but of a lack of will or desire. Sure, the advocates of this view will concede, the shutdown of 2013 was doomed from the start, in large part because the public sided with President Obama. But if the GOP had just held out a little longer, they imagine, the "power of the purse" would have prevailed and the popular dynamics would magically have shifted. The same insistence obtains elsewhere: Sure, there is no precedent in which a second-term president willingly repeals his centerpiece legislative achievements simply because the legislature has elected to play hardball with its powers. But somehow, the critics believe, this time would have been different. Why, they ask repeatedly, didn’t the Republican party just "fight" harder?
Given how broadly this opinion is held, one would have expected the 2016 primary season to reveal a penchant for purity that redounded to the favor of a candidate such as Ted Cruz. And yet, oddly enough, quite the opposite has happened thus far. Led by Donald Trump, the most frustrated voters have instead put their efforts behind a well-telegraphed attempt to burn down the whole political edifice and reconstruct it from scratch. Because it has been imperfect, the GOP must be destroyed.

This person ought to be prosecuted for threatening DJT’s life. These kinds of words make me so scared for Trump. The GOP is goading...or paying someone to assassinate him. That is not funny on any level.
“Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor”
I see NRO is again sending not-so-subtle signals to nutjobs to kill Trump. I hereby call on the Secrete Service to investigate these death threats by Charles C. W. Cooke towards a Presidential candidate under their protection.
Not only hit pieces being written all day; the media was having a “destroy Trump” day as well.
The Cheap Labor Express is demanding that The Ministry of Propaganda get us all to vote for their Amnesty Boy.
To quote a guy you may have heard of...
Let them go their way.

Ol’ Mr. Cooke loves his Thesaurus, doesn’t he? (Snicker)!
And I thought Reagan had it pretty tough.
This beats anything I’ve ever seen.
Traitors okay!
Trump, “Oh the huge manatees...”
Some people are freaking coming unglued!
I’m not so sure they have any idea at all just how pissed off Americans really are.
If they succeed, the bullets may start flying.
We have had enough.
First it was The Won flaunting daily outrages in our faces.
Now it’s our own party!
I’m starting to wonder if they want to help pour gas on the fire and bring about martial law too.
These DC goons make me sick!
The GOPe side of the Uniparty is their cash cow and must be preserved at all costs or they'll have to go out and find a real job like the rest of us.
I really wouldn't doubt it if, once they fully realize our little "revolt" is real and can't be stopped, they decide to step it up a notch. i pray that Trump has good security and the protective hand of God on him and his loved ones. These people are truly evil.
I fail to see what is wrong about this.
I know. Stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
That’s funny. Trump Tards are the ones with the reputation of being total in your face nut jobs.
“...the Trump cult is the natural allies of the old Eastern Republican establishment.”
How do you figure that? It’s the Republican establishment that’s working to “Mississippi” Trump... every last one of them. I haven’t seen one establishment R come out in support of Trump. So I don’t get your reasoning.
64 dollar words to express a worthless opinion.
I don’t understand. Start your own party if you have a problem with the one established. Why all this “let’s burn down the joint “ mentality?
“I am amazed at the number of people who are being outed as GOPe types.”
You need to personally thank Donald Trump, because without him, we’d all still think guys like this turd were still “good conservatives” who were “looking out for us.” Trump has been like “The Orkin Man,” shining his flashlight in all the “political corners” illuminating” all the “pseudo-conservative cockroaches.”
Oh, BS. I'm a Trump supporter and if you call me such a foul-mouthed insulting name again I may just have to come bash you on the head!
Look, don't let the GOPe trolls manipulate you. They've been working the Trump & Cruz camps into a frenzy here for months, trying to convince us to split our votes.
Before you get all mad and flame me, what if I'm right? Would you rather you and I team up and bash a few GOPe/RINO heads? Or would you rather flame your fellow conservative foxhole partner (me!), then wake up one morning and discover you've been bamboozled by a bunch of goons paid by Mitch McConnell, Inc. to be here?
I swear, if you flame me, I'm putting your name on my RINO troll list. LOL!
Donald might encourage coattails because he probably will have a lot better chance getting his ideas through with GOP than with Dems.
It seems that the sins of the establishment are much worse than we suspected. If not, then why all the hysteria? I’ve lived through many election cycles and you are right, I’ve never seen anything like this.
