GOP risks suicide by stealing election from Trump
World Net Daily ^ | 4/19/16 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 04/20/2016 7:21:36 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Donald Trump has brought out the largest crowds in the history of primaries. He has won the most victories, the most delegates, the most votes. He is poised to sweep three of the five largest states in the nation – New York, Pennsylvania and California.

If he does, and the nomination is taken from him, the Republican Party will be seen by the American people as a glorified Chinese tong.

Last week, Ted Cruz swept 34 delegates at the Colorado party convention. Attendees were not allowed to vote on whom they wanted as the party’s nominee.

This weekend, Cruz shut out Trump in Wyoming the same way.

What does this tell us? Cruz has a better “ground game.” His operatives work the system better. Ted Cruz is the king of small ball.

“B.S. Trump is a Democrat in a ‘Pub sheepskin...”

And he’s got a majority of Republican voters Buffaloed? Is that it?

Gee, I wish I could see through Trump ...how did you manage to figure him out while the rest of us are so blinded?

From this primary onwards, my strategy is to vote for any challenger to the GOP incumbent in any race

It's a real mystery to me how voters in conservative states like SC and AZ haven't been able to get rid of Graham and McCain in the primaries. I could understand not being able to do better in liberal states dominated by Democrats, but the only explanation for these guys' staying power in their states is the power of the GOP establishment and the inertia of incumbency.

Without us (’the base’) the GOPe wouldn’t have the votes to elect a national dog catcher.

The General requires real people willing to stand in line for hours to vote. Would anyone be stupid enough to do that for a party that steals their vote ... Steals our votes and gives those votes to insider elites?

No one I know is that stupid.

When GOP rules are rigged to steal votes and power from citizens - and give that power to insider party elites - WE NEED TO WALK AWAY.

Start a third party - DO NOT SUPPORT ANY REPUBLICAN ON THE TICKET. If the GOPe is corrupt at the top they’re corrupt all the way through...

I remember the same thing in 1996 with following Pat Buchanan's primary win in New Hampshire. Many neoconservatives were saying that they would support Bill Clinton if Buchanan became the GOP nominee. The same people are now saying that they'd back Hillary over Trump.

It goes to show that the GOP elites have much more in common with the Democratic elites than they do with the grassroots voters who they've been duping for decades.

Well, the Tedomite rat copulaters are trying their North American Union best to kill the Republican party rather than reform it before the convention even gets here.

Look everyone....”I'M MOCKING THE WALL”....”I'M MOCKING THE WALL”....oh my Gawwwwddddd...”I'M MOCKING THE WAAAAALLLLLL”.

Really?

I'm running with scissors too!

I understand all of that. And it has been far longer than 15 years. But Donny the Democrat Donor has a history of hiring illegal alien and other foreign workers. So I take his words lightly, very lightly.

The fastest way to slow the flow of these folks is to cut off all welfare benefits at once. Cut off all social security at once. Increase deportations tenfold.

Donny has a problem with “rules” and “regulations” and people not doing what he will tell them to do (military/torture rules) so I am not sure of his allegiance to the Constitution.

And we are not “morphing into the New World Order”...WE'RE THERE!

I give you the papers on Saudi Arabia as just the latest example.

So yeah...I mock the wall....I mock a lot of things from the land of make believe.

FRgards,
Jedi.

While we have had two major parties for most of our history, the two major parties have not always been today’s Republican and Democrat parties.

But for the past 160 years -- in other words, the last two-thirds of this country's existence -- it's only been the Dems and the GOP. The Dems/Whigs two party system existed only for about 25 years before that. No doubt the dissolution and formation of viable major parties could occur a bit more readily in the first half of the 19th century.

While Rush is on probation in this house, he nevertheless has furnished a very good analogy regarding the democrat party and the republican party:

The democrats are the Harlem Globe Trotters, and the republican party is the Washington Generals - the foil guys without whom there would be no show for the Globetrotters

B.S. Trump is a Democrat in a ‘Pub sheepskin. He certainly is not a grassroots conservative. And now he’s hired those GOPe operatives to run his campaign that so many on this site disparage. He’s always had the worst of the establishment political class on his team, the execrable Roger Stone. Plus he doesn’t whine about all the caucus “no vote” races he’s won or received delegates. Ignorant, arrogant phony.

That's why he's getting clobbered in the delegate fight. He doesn't have the boots on the ground at the local party level to get things done. He figured he'd just ride on on his 757 make a speech and people would rush to crown him king.

Same stuff said about Ronald Reagan 40 years ago, and he came from way behind to win convincingly in 1980, and then overwhelmingly in 1984. Conservatism is a winning message.

“The fastest way to slow the flow of these folks is to cut off all welfare benefits at once.”

Agree 100%.

And you’re very probably right that the NWO is here already, or at least for all practical purposes.

Sad state of affairs, JEDI.

Cheer up...

It could be worse.

After this the neo-cons will become neo-dems and take over that party like they once did. They master the winners.

Pat’s the greatest.

What you call "boots on the ground at the local party level", the rest of us call "the GOP Establishment".
