A new GOP is born - Pat Buchanan: Regardless of nominee, Trump surge marks

A new GOP is born Pat Buchanan: Regardless of nominee, Trump surge marks 'death rattle' of establishment 02.29.2016

The first four Republican contests – Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada – produced record turnouts.

While the prospect of routing Hillary Clinton and recapturing the White House brought out the true believers, it was Donald Trump’s name on the ballot and his calls for economic patriotism, border security and an end to imperial wars that brought out the throngs.

The crowds that continue to come out for his appearances and the vast audiences he has attracted to GOP debates testify to his drawing power.

Moreover, Trump has now been endorsed by Gov. Chris Christie, ex-chairman of the Republican Governors Association, and Sen. Jeff Sessions, one of the most respected conservatives on Capitol Hill.

Yet, with polls pointing to a possible Trump sweep on Super Tuesday, save Texas, his probable nomination, and a chance for the GOP to take it all in the fall, is causing some conservatives and Republicans to threaten to bolt, go third party, stay home, or even vote for Clinton.

They would prefer to lose to Clinton than win with Trump.

.........................................

As in 1964 and 1980, a new Republican Party is taking shape.

Defections are to be expected, and not altogether unwelcome

I sincerely hope it won’t be the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish GOP that Pat wants so much.

This was clearly evident in the last gubernatorial election in Virginia--"Republican" mayors of several large cities voiced their support for Terry McAuliffe over Ken Cuccinelli.

Could they not see that, as we celebrated globalization, Beijing and Tokyo were practicing ruthless mercantilism and protectionism?

And still are...yet we're constantly told that any action to protect American economic interests will start a terrible and harmful trade war. So what? we've already suffered the damage of that Trade War because it's been going on for a generation and we've refused to defend ourselves. It's time we fight back!

GO TRUMP!

I only brought it up because it has been going on for about 3 Generations, not just the last one, though it has accelerated enormously in the last one.

Re:”I only brought it up because it has been going on for about 3 Generations, not just the last one, though it has accelerated enormously in the last one.”

This is a very important point. It also has been endorsed by both parties. We will never fix what we don’t acknowledge.

You are correct and the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity FULLY ENDORSED THE SELLOUT of America for the Ruling Class, and Proudly so. I remember it like it was yesterday.

THIS is why Trump the candidate even exists. People can be fooled for a while, but the relentlessly self-serving actions of the GOPe over the past several decades has finally become unmasked. They are interested in power, not in what is best for either the Republican Party or, more importantly, this country...and We The People are thus not interested in THEM.

If the GOPe sit out, or worse yet, vote for Clinton; it could very well destroy the Republican Party.
For years they have crammed down our collective throats RINO candidates and admonished us to hold our nose and vote GOP for the good of the country.
Now that the tables have turned; they want to take their ball and go home!

If they do, the TEA Party will break with the GOP forever and become a third Party; and all the GOP will have left is Jeb Bush supporters.

The new Party may not win the Presidency, but will be a force in the Congress that the other Parties will have to negotiate with to get anything done. That is of course if the GOP really is an opposition Party.

What is not often mentioned is that, like us, Israel also has its problems with globalists.
