For the Republican party, it's Trumpocalypse Now
Guardian UK ^ | 02 March 2016 | Christopher R Barron

There will be those in the Republican and conservative establishment who will try to spin the Super Tuesday results. Some among the GOP chattering classes will tell you that Trump didn’t get the knock-out punch he wanted – that there is still a chance to restore order. Don’t believe it. The numbers make it clear that, for the Republican party, it’s Trumpocalypse Now.

While Ted Cruz won his home state of Texas as well as Oklahoma, and Rubio ran him close in Virginia and actually managed to win Minnesota, Trump dominated elsewhere. His success extended from Massachusetts to Georgia to Alabama to Tennessee to Oklahoma. He won in Ted Cruz’s south, and he won in the north-east, where a more establishment-friendly candidate like Marco Rubio was supposed to prevail.

Trump is winning with men and women, moderates and conservatives, with the young and the old.

Trump is winning despite a weekend of unforced errors – after failing to repudiate former Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.

Trump is winning even after taking political napalm from Marco Rubio since last week’s debate – with Rubio ridiculing his rival on the trail for days.

Trump is winning despite the fact that the Republican speaker of the House and majority whip in the Senate both criticized him this week. He is winning in spite of the fact that almost every big name Republican officer-holder and mega-donor is lined up behind his opponents.

I’d easily vote for one of the guys on “Swamp People” before I’d vote for Hitlery.

How about those “Walking Dead” critter/people? They’re kinda cool. Better than Hillary, anyhow.

if there were a bomb that needed to be disarmed, I’d vote for Hillary to do it.

I’m not a traditional conservative. If by that you mean I’m a globalist, then no, I am not one.

I love my country and for me that comes before party.

A truth the GOP establishment appears to have forgotten and its not about them.

I’m not bothered by the Trumpocalypse. We need to shake up Washington and bring about needed change.

This nomination fight comes down to the citizens vs The Cheap Labor Express.

The RNC/GOP owes The Cheap Labor Express an amnesty candidate.

The citizens want a President who will retain the rule of law and American sovereignty.

The establishment is fully committed to keeping the people pipeline operating even if they have to throw the election to Hillary if they cannot prevent us from nominating Trump.

They will do whatever it takes to deny us the ability to regain the rule of law or keep our country.

The flood of fraudulently documented foreigners has been intentional.

They are stealing our country from us right in front of our faces.

McConnell: "They'll still vote for any of our guys, Harry, despite all we've done to them! All it needs is an 'R' after the name!"

Reid: "Told you it was easy to join our team, Mitch! We've got 'em too! The idiots'll vote for a dead skunk if there's a 'D' with the name!"

Biden: "Ain't the perks great, Mitch?"

Don’t forget that LBJ was elected to the senate by fraud. All the people in one precinct voted for LBJ...in alphabetical order. His opponent, Coke Stevenson, hated him until the day he died.

I am beyond caring who wins. I am in this to insure the globalist lose. That is what it has come to.

Absolutely! I’m a “Walking Dead” fan and any of them would be better than the vile, evil witch.

Carol or Michonne would kick Hitlery’s butt.

Just now Carl Rove was beside himself while discussing Trump’s success on O’Reilly. He was about to have a stroke.
