Many GOP elites really want to see Hillary elected, which is no surprise since they feed out of the same trough as she does.

The NeverTrumpers hope to kill two birds with one stone by trying to hamstring Trump: first, if Trump loses, it's a clear message from the GOP to the grassroots activists and voters saying "Don't even try to run non-establishment candidates who we don't vet for you next time." Second, with Hillary in office, the GOP elites can go back to playing their role of a fake and completely impotent opposition to Democratic policies. Having Democrats in office lets the GOP elites do their loyal opposition griping and pose as defenders of conservatism, while accomplishing absolutely nothing.

And when Trump stops headlining GOP fund raisers, they’ll come crawling back. He’s the ONLY draw.

I don’t get it.

So it’s ok with these guys to let Hillary get elected. It’s ok to let Hillary build on the executive powers taken by Obama. It’s ok to let Hillary pack the courts, including the Supreme Court, with younger radical liberal judges, who will always vote for the liberal cause before them.

I can’t believe it’s ok with them to let Hillary become president and let us see four to eight more years of the Obama revolution take place.

Ever notice how many of these letters and petitions are by “formers”. Former advisor, former representative, former Senator, etc.

Question, if there advice is so damn good, then why is their status “former”? Why are they out of power? Hmmmm.

“More than 70 Republicans have signed a letter to the party’s National Committee head urging him to stop helping Donald Trump’s campaign.”

A record 14 million republicans voted for Trump.

They are liars and hypocrites!!! IF they really cared about the down ballot candidates, they would have fulfilled their oaths and worked with the Trump campaign, and ALL the real live people who supported him and are voting for him, to elect the first Republican President in years. But NO!!! They want a candidate that will lose legitimately, like Republicans are supposed to do, so they can keep their personal power and associates safely in place for another four years -— who cares what happens to the Country in the mean time. There is no honor among them -— and they, and ALL of their extended family members, must NEVER again receive the public trust.

All of these assh*les are looking for a scapegoat to blame when fed-up voters kick their useless butts out of office. I say good riddance to all of them. GO TRUMP, AND STOMP THEIR ASSES GOOD ON YOUR WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

I recognized a few names in the politico list, but it contained many, many mid-level party apparatchiks. Who are they? Are they important? I have no idea.

But one thing is clear - “The Party” has its own opinions and interests, often very different from the average Republican voter (and certainly different from Conservatives).

And you wonder why I really do think Trump loves the term Uniparty, because he knows that's how Washington, DC works.

Mark my words....by 2020 they will have implemented their own version of the Democrat Superdelegate Scam.

NeverTrump is really about never-ending illegal alien inundation.
The Cheap Labor Express does not intend to allow the citizens to reverse 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of borders and laws.
The illegal alien inundation was INTENTIONAL.

A partial listing of these turncoats via Pollutico:

Former Sen. Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire
Former Reps. Chris Shays of Connecticut
Former Congressman Tom Coleman of Missouri
Former Congressman Vin Weber of Minnesota

...are among the Republicans lending their name to the letter.

Close to 20 of the co-signers are former RNC staffers, including:

Mindy Finn (former RNC chief digital strategist)
Christine Iverson Gunderson (former RNC press secretary)
Virginia Hume Onufer (former RNC deputy press secretary)
Beth Miller (former RNC field communications division director)
Heather Layman (former deputy press secretary)
B. Jay Cooper (former RNC communications director)
Patrick Ruffini (former RNC ecampaign director)
Republican Andrew Weinstein (worked on the Dole/Kemp campaign, deputy press secretary to then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich)

These people are on the same level as the characters played by Danny Glover, Josef Sommer, and Angus MacInnes in “Witness” and Murray Hamilton, Tim McIntire, and Wilford Brimley in “Brubaker”. These two movies are a good education for anyone needing to learn about the Party of Government and what it is about.
