GOP strategist Castellanos: Time to rally around Trump, ‘too late to ask mommy

Even as major Republican donors coalesced Wednesday around a last-ditch effort to halt Donald Trump's march toward the GOP presidential nomination, resignation was setting in among some onetime Trump critics.

"It is too late," Republican media strategist Alex Castellanos, who had unsuccessfully urged top GOP contributors to back an anti-Trump campaign earlier in the cycle, wrote in an email. "There is a fantasy effort to stop Trump, like a fantasy campaign to stop yesterday but it exists only as the denial stage of grief."

Cannot believe WaPo actually printed this. But if they continue the path they are on, it will be the end of the GOP.

--

"If our self-indulgent Republican party establishment had really wanted to prevent a takeover of the GOP, they should not have gorged on political power while they failed to do anything to prevent the decline of the country. Our leaders could have led. They could have done more than say 'no' to Democrats while offering no alternative.

Most of the RNC/GOP is owned lock, stock and barrel by The Cheap Labor Express.
They have been actively working against the wishes of the people for decades.
Enabling the illegal alien inundation while giving lip service to national security.
GWB reduced border and interior enforcement AFTER 9/11.
Kay Bailey Hutchinson defunded the Secure Fence Act with an amendment in a subsequent bill.
They will burn the party to the ground rather than let us elect a President who would enforce the laws.

They are arrogant, they are far from stupid or clueless.
They have been playing conservatives for years and years.
We have only had amnesty candidates since the last amnesty.
It was not accidental. It was quite intentional.

They still think they can prevent us from electing a President who will enforce the laws and borders. They want to deny us the ability to stop the illegal alien inundation.

The most important thing to the RNC/GOP is keeping the people pipeline operating.

The Cheap Labor Express has already paid them for an amnesty candidate.

I believe they are willing to do anything to block us from keeping the rule of law and our country.

Please edit out the 1st three paragraphs. It was not what I tried to copy. Suspect it was embedded.

Thanks

Don’t buy it.
They are trying to make a selected candidate in a brokered situation legitimate.
Expect the vote fraud to begin starting today.

Look, I supported and voted for Cruz. Dont care who knows it.

BUT what FOX and the GOPe are doing is absolutely criminal.

They have no right to distort this process like they are.

It will backfire on them if they don’t “get it”.

I do not want a total bolt from the GOP and it could happen.

The insiders have been bribing the corrupt in DC for years, as they bankroll their campaigns to ensure those borders remain wide open. An endless line of dirt cheap labor.

Profits regardless of consequences.

The greedy corrupt donors have no desire to see their gravy train leave the station.

In my case it is certain.

I will vote for Dave Brat, but no other Republican.

The VAGOP always puts up amnesty candidates for Senate like George Allen and Ed Gillespie as Designated Losers to our Democrat Senators anyway.

Trump is the only chance we have of breaking the stranglehold of the Cheap Labor Express on the GOP.

You do know that Cruz is campaigning toward a brokered convention, right? No other way to see it, he knows he can’t win straight up yet vows to stay in til the end.

He wants to get to a brokered convention then tell Trump voters he’s the only anti-establishment candidate. He’s said from the beginning that if Trump imploded, he would get those votes.

But he’s wrong. If he manages to get to a brokered convention, Trump voters will never pick him.

Ted Cruz cannot win the nomination. His roll is to hamstring Trump financially and politically prior to the general election.

I don’t know what cruz is doing, but if they do this, it will end the GOP.

Four solid victories by Trump today will put some serious distance between him and the field. It will dominate several news cycles. People will come to their senses. National polls will push Trump up to 45% or more, esp with Carson dropping out. Romney/GOPe efforts to derail the Trump Train will look like too little, too late.

Get on board or get off the tracks.
