Self-preservation? Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney among Republicans now congratulating Trump [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 9, 2016 | Staff

A number of prominent Republicans who bashed Donald Trump during the election campaign have now come out in support of the President-elect.

Despite dozens within the party stating prior to election day that Trump was fit to be president, most of those critics seemingly fell in line behind their new leader on Wednesday.

Some of Trump's most vocal opponents were among the Republicans to publicly back him in the wake of his stunning triumph - including many who had been beaten to the presidential nomination by the Donald.

These guys can Go to hell. It would have been a blowout without the Nevertrumpers and the fact that we just barely squeaked by will not be forgotten.

Ineffectual, lazy and incompetent career politicians trying to curry favor with the President elect? Meh. He’s astute enough to know that once a RINO, always a RINO. He’ll use them when it suits his purpose.

From Trump's perspective, he needs all the allies he can get to move his agenda forward.

But he should never put them in positions of power, lest he discover that they are communicating with Podesta et al on the down low.

The old saying comes to mind:”Victory has a thousand fathers; defeat is an orphan.”

No wonder the GOP establishment is rushing to embrace Trump. They fear him.

Being beaten has a way of concentrating the mind.

In a way, the "never Trumpers" were just tools, tools to motivate, move and anger the rest of us to action. I was furious when Sasse announced he would NOT support or vote for the Republican candidate, but even more angry when I heard he "called the Donald and extended his congratulations". What a tool, indeed.

I can live with outcome, I only hope the "never Trumpers" can.

Oh, and you "never Trumpers"; you can only hope DJT doesn't ignore your little pleas for party assistance or backing. And oh, BTW, please don't whine to me, because you definitely won't have MY sympathy, or my vote.

They come out of the bunker when it’s safe?! Where were they when Trump was fighting tirelessly for freedom and democracy? ‘Me too’ shirkers don’t cut it after the battles.

They are EXPOSED.
Exposed of having attacked Gov. Palin,
exposed of supporting a sellout of the People,
exposed of remaining THEMSELVES EXEMPT,
exposed of supporting treason and Benghazi
and the misuse of IRS.

Probably the tip of the ‘iceberg’.

Boy fights are different than girl fights. Boys fight for victory and at the end of the day, they shake hands and move on, analyze and strategize to win the next fight. Girls, on the other hand, stay mad, angry, and resentful for years. Feminized men, also petty, unforgiving and unable to move forward. Trump will befriend all, but he understands where they stand and what needs done.

Guys, have a heart!

Romney and Bush had already written their articles for the Washington Post and New York Times telling how Trump’s landslide defeat indicated that the party they were ready to resume control of needs to stop the racism and hate of a Trump and start to pander and spend like the democrats.

Now, those articles go in the trash. And no one wants to listen to them anymore.

So go easy.
