Who is this douchebag?
I wish I could see real numbers on their circulation for the past year. After Against Trump, saying blue collar whites should die, and now openly advocating theft of the nomination, I can’t imagine more than 1,000 people are still signed up for this garbage.
What a shame. William F. Buckley Jr. was one of the all-time greats. His magazine is a total disgrace to his name at this point.
National Review has fallen off the cliff!
[In the short run, a third-party candidate might insulate down-ballot candidates from Trumpism]
MIGHT is a very YUGE word.
Forgive the GOPe, they know not what they do.
They are about to wake a sleeping giant who is very, very angry.
Careful what you wish for. For me, it won't "just be leaving the party." I'll take ALL of my down-ticket Republican votes with me. More succinctly, not one damned Republican I'll vote for if they deny him the nomination if he has the minimum delegate majority they set.
.... The Republican party is not a direct democracy. It crafts its own rules, and it can change them...
Just like it changes its RINO/GOPe candidate campaign promises to 180° opposite of what voters were promised if elected.
The American GOPe RINO is on the political endangered species list.
Go ahead and nominate a Cheap Labor Express candidate.
Every Republican down to dog catcher will suffer.
Since when is Phyllis Schlafley a marginal conservative? Since when were Romney and McCain NOT marginal conservatives at best?
Here you go: This is what the true voice of the GOPe sounds like.
Whether the GOP nominates Trump, or steals the nomination away from him, we’re watching the demise of this historically great party.
Some of us are busy building the principled conservative alternative.
Can you be any more out of touch?
NRO conservative impostors offer no clear alternative to Trump.
They hate him but can’t offer one good reason why any one would vote for the establishment.
In case its escaped David French’s notice, the insurgency taking over the party commands 80% of the vote.
That’s a lot of people and Trump commands half of that these days.
And who do the Bourbons of the GOP represent?
Not one.
WHY must he be stopped?
If these people get anymore paranoid about Trump they will be appealing to the UN to intervene.
It’s not Fascism when they do it.
GOPE, if you do this you will do massive damage to your candidates not just nationally but in state and local elections as well. No matter how passionately you hate Trump, do not fool yourselves. The GOPE will not be able to disenfranchise millions of GOP voters and escaped unscathed.
IF Trump is such the disaster as the GOPE predict, then the GOPE should let him win simply to teach the GOP voters a lesson for the future. Show them the GOPE knows better then the voters who should be the candidate.
These daily desperate attempts to stop Trump at all costs send the voters the exact opposite message.
I can’t believe someone would openly suggest this. What a douche nozzle. We can like it or not, but the RNC knows better than to override the voters. I’m with the other who say doing so would cause an uprising... one that my old bones might even consider participating in.
I believe they will do exactly this, leading to two turbulent years of insurrection in the voter base.
If they feel threatened by trump, wait until they see what it is like to deal with hundreds of burning “fires” spreading throughout the country all at once. They will, in the end, create their own destruction.
They will never face they’ve created this themselves.
Try this and I stay home. None of the down ticket republicans will get my vote either.
