Who fails first, Politico, NRO or Lowry?

I’m at the point where I say give the whiny blovinator the nomination and I hope he does get elected, I can’t wait to throw it back in the trumpateers face, where is the wall?, where are the deportations?, what happened to those trade deals?, these clowns are so stupid falling for that New York Bull sheet.
I can’t wait to vote for the sheety candidate you thrust toward me. I also, can’t wait to throw back the facts later on.

I don’t always agree with Lowery, but I think this article of his got it right.

“But it rewards a different, more demanding and engaged sort of participation than a primary.”

That’s what is wrong. It is too difficult. Just give me a ballot with a D or an R after the name and I’m good. Although I do keep the fliers I get with the photographs. The better-looking people get my vote.

[Trump has] so little regard for the unity or interests of his own party or is so clearly preparing to bring it down, like Samson at the temple of Dagon, if it doesn’t bend to his will.

Trump and his supporters will win the nomination and get slaughtered in the general election or they will lose the nomination and break the party apart. Either way, Trump will put Hillary in the White House. We will lose the Supreme Court, the Senate, perhaps even the House, and down ticket state offices without number.

Thus the Republican Party, the conservative movement, The Tea Party, ultimately our liberty and prosperity will all be sacrificed on the altar of Donald Trump's ego.

If the inconceivable happens, if Trump is actually elected president of the United States, we will shear away from any tether which remains to the Constitution and embark on a populist excursion into Donald Trump's ego. We will likely be cast into a severe economic recession or even depression as Trump mangles trade negotiations just as he has utterly mismanaged his campaign on the ground. Our vast federal bureaucracy will spin entirely out of control as Trump focuses ad hoc on small parts of it which strike his fancy and mismanages the rest. God knows what sort of Supreme Court Justices we will get, because Trump's midnight conversions on this and virtually every other important issue, is absolutely suspect and without plausible explanation. He will enrich one sector of the economy while he impoverishes another, all with detached connection to the Constitution and to representative government, but entirely at the whim of Donald Trump.

There is no need for any of us to sacrifice our self-respect for Donald Trump.

Poor Lowry. Wonder where he will go to cry when Trump is nominated?

... Cruz’s campaign hasn’t had a whisper of dissension, let alone had to go to bat for a staffer arrested for battery of a female reporter.

Rick Tyler fired by Cruz for getting caught in a lie. If he hadn't been caught, it would have been OK.

Rich Lowry, the pencil neck geek would be slapped silly on the street and THE RULES ARE RIGGED.

Colorado changed their rules in August of 2015 when they saw Trump leading the pack and didn't want to give the voters a say in the outcome.

That charade they called "voting" for delegates was pure BS.

Each candidate got 10 seconds to speak, ya think that wasn't pre-planned?

How can you post this crap! Who do you think you are! Just kidding.

Anyway - while people can argue the merits of whether Trump was robbed by Colorado, from a tactical standpoint, it was a BRILLIANT MOVE by Trump to complain about it - as it stopped his tailspin from the abortion question and put the spotlight (rightly or wrongly) on the efforts of the GOPe to keep him from getting the nomination. Trump turned the polls around and probably gained 5 to 10 points just on this.

It is hard to think of a major presidential candidate, let alone a front-runner, who has ever had so little regard for the unity or interests of his own party or is so clearly preparing to bring it down, like Samson at the temple of Dagon, if it doesn’t bend to his will. Trump is in open conflict with RNC chairman Reince Priebus and doing all he can to delegitimize the GOP in the eyes of his voters.

It is hard to think of a party that has ever had so little regard for its own frontrunner, and has done all it can do to delegitimize him in the eyes of its voters.

Poor Lowry is just such an idiot.

Give Donald Trump credit for planning ahead. He is preparing to be a sore loser.

4 more days ...

Rich Lowry no less. I guess despite dedicating an entire issue of NR to take Trump down, he realizes that he still can’t do it. The looming Trump wins in NY on Tuesday and a string of victories on April 26 will send Lowry and his self-appointed guardians of conservatism into a deep funk. He is the real whiner.
