WaPo columnist pleads with GOP to admit Dems were right about Trump, ditch him to avoid ‘party suicide’
Fox News ^ | Sept 2, 2022 | Gabriel Hays

Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle pleaded with Republicans on Friday to have a "Dr. Phil moment" and get themselves out of their "dangerous" relationship with former President Donald Trump unless they want to commit "party suicide."

The column insisted that Trump has been "wrecking" the GOP for years with his "scandals" and "ego," and claimed that if the party continues to embrace him, the idea of a red wave in upcoming elections will end up "more like a ripple."

McArdle began her column with the premise that sensible Republicans have been secretly hoping Trump could have been kicked to the curb in 2016 but were unwilling to do the job themselves. "By mid-February 2016, it was clear that some kind of collective Republican action would be needed to keep Donald Trump from winning the nomination. Instead, everyone stood around hoping that someone else would do the job for them," she wrote.

Over the past six years, that same scenario has played out time and time again. She added, "This was an error they repeated many times in the ensuing years, keeping quiet about outrage after outrage, passing up two separate chances to remove him from power and ensure he could never run again."

Megan McGargle? Really? She's an original anti-Trumper -- she couldn't get into Wharton like Trump, so she had to settle for Booth.

You know what she did with that degree? Blogger.

WaPo is queer for Gen X bloggers like her and KdeFILEd. Trash.

She was a Krotch mouthpiece during Bush-Obama, her husband Peter is pwnd by the Krotch's.

She also has asthma and Hashimoto's Disease, the latter likely why she has no kids (unless her husband Peter doesn't own a paper bag), can't take levothyroxine and be pregnant; or the kids will turn out to be mutants like her.

“For six years, Trump has been systematically — okay, unsystematically — wrecking the party. “

A Republican party which does not serve our needs is BROKEN as far as we are concerned.

Very few have figured out that the US has a vast cultural and sociological problem, that was not caused by politics. Indeed, politics is driven by this, and politics will not fix it. Politics is the surface churn of whats going on in the deep waters.

It is all about the fundamental separation of the people into incompatible, warring, and irreconcilable castes.

What happens in elections, in a more fundamental way, does not matter. These are attempts to control institutions that have already lost public acceptance, and are now all seen to be self-willed and moreover, malicious. These will not be controlled through our polite fiction of elections.

Institutions will be weaponized in this vast war between castes.

It is always so heart warming to see people that absolutely hate all things Republican, Christian, and conservative worry about our electoral futures.

Google Megan McArdle and tranny.
If it isn’t one, it is sure an advocate of them.
