In the Cleveland debate, Donald Trump refused to commit to support whomever the Republican Party nominates in 2016.
Trump would be wise to maintain his freedom of action.
For there is a plot afoot in the Washington Post Conservative Club to purge Trump from the Republican Party before the primaries begin.
A political party has a right to secure its borders, asserts the Posts George Will, a duty to exclude interlopers. Will wants The Donald excommunicated and locked out of all GOP debates until he kneels and takes a loyalty oath to the nominee.
Marginalizing Trump carries no risk of alienating a substantial Republican cohort, Will assures us, for these Trumpites are neither Republicans nor conservatives. Better off without such trash.
The Posts Michael Gerson says establishment Republicans must make clear that [Trump] has moved beyond the boundaries of serious and civil discourse. He loathes the Trumpites as much as Will.
Trumps followers are xenophobic, Gerson tells CNN. They have a resentment of outsiders, of Mexico, of China, and immigrants. Thats more like a European right-wing party, a UKIP or a National Front in France. Republicans cant incorporate that.
But if the GOP has no room for Trumps followers, it has no future. For there simply arent that many chamber-of-commerce and country-club Republicans.
Trump should tell the GOP, in the neocons favorite phrase, All options are on the table. And that includes the Samson Option.
Trump should tell the GOP that if it disrespects him and his followers, then he is prepared to do as did the biblical hero Samson, when, blinded and mocked by the Philistines, he pushed the pillars apart and brought the temple down upon the heads of them all.

Obviously ;)
Bump for later.
Darn, I was trying to be cryptic....
Oops. They have winner on their hands. They never planned for that nightmare.
Has it occurred to anyone that the only reason Trump is where he is in in direct proportion to how the GOP Controlled Congress has been nothing but a Rubber Stamp for Obama’s Policies?
The GOP causes the problem, stabs their base in the back and then blames Trump for taking the Microphone?
This is rich on so many levels. Did the GOP put out an Official Statement on Hillary’s Felony problem yet, or are they just letting Trump do their heavy lifting?
Sniveling Cowards.
George Will ban you from the party for criticizing his Wife’s Employer Scotty Walker .
You must obey the DC Elites !
Yup. And it’s that way all over. A few of us have long said it. And as today, we were dismissed. But it’s simple logic 101 stuff.
But people are so mentally conditioned to not look outside their compartmentalized view of GOP or nothing/Dem or nothing they are willfully blind to the reality that an ever growing chunk of America hates them both and would drop trou and run naked and screaming for a chance to put the blocks to them in a voting booth.
I mean lets be honest. All these people screaming they have had it will act given the opportunity. I cannot grasp why that’s a radical idea for some.
Imagine the GOPe having to unify with Trump.
What I’m afraid of us that the RNC will betray Trump in the end, even when he has the nomination. These people really would prefer Hillary over Trump.
You can’t fool a fellow Captain, Captain! For we are duty bound and cursed by God himself to see what others WOULD NOT!
Code of the Obvious
Book 2, Chapter 3, Verse 14.
Ya think maybe putting people like that into power to begin with might have been a bad idea....just perhaps?
I mean I know how popular/right/just a thing Lesser evil is with rock ribbed conservatives and all but this is sorta what people get for that when you don’t think such cunning plans through to their inevitable conclusions.
Cruz over Trump in the general with “Hillary?” as the opponent. The odds of Hillary winning a majority of electors in a scenario where Cruz is the Republican and Trump is the 3rd party is unlikely. At best she’d win a plurality, but that isn’t what the Constitution says.
When the electors meet if one of the candidates doesn’t have a majority of the electors, then the election is thrown to the House. Each of the 50 State delegations in the House vote for their choice and the winner gets that state’s one vote. Almost guaranteed to be a republican.
At this point, that will be Cruz, Carson, Fiorina...whoever wins the nomination.
Don’t worry about Hillary Obammie is going to finish her off!!!!
"Trumps followers are xenophobic, Gerson tells CNN. They have a resentment of outsiders, of Mexico, of China, and immigrants. Thats more like a European right-wing party, a UKIP or a National Front in France. Republicans cant incorporate that."
How about that, this (R)etard actually says with a straight face ...
'Exclude the Excluders!'
Have a look at this putz ...
Michael John Gerson (born May 15, 1964) is ...
Got all that?
Bush-Rove (R)epublicrat with a pedigree of the highest order.
This is the ENEMY unmasked. Destroy the (R)etard party!
A political party has a right to secure its borders, asserts the Posts George Will
Well, George, does a nation have a right to secure its borders? Apparently the gopE doesn’t think so.
The dirty little secret is he could win Third Party and put a stake through the GOP’s chest.
If Trump goes Perot say hi to President Hillary or Bernie or Joe.\
Don’t leave out Algore.
Kelly asked Trump about something he said years ago about a fat pig dummy.
She should have asked Jeb about his racist grandfather.

George finally has to come out as a Walker operative !

He sounds like a character from the novel from the Hunger Games .
