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 Post’s 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 Post’s 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.
Trump’s followers are “xenophobic,” Gerson tells CNN. They have a “resentment of outsiders, of Mexico, of China, and immigrants. That’s more like a European right-wing party, a UKIP or a National Front in France. Republicans can’t incorporate that.”
But if the GOP has no room for Trump’s followers, it has no future. For there simply aren’t 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.

I think Trump is the American Revolution 2.0. IF they try to bar him from the debates - all he needs to do is schedule a stump speech somewhere with cameras rolling the entire time at the same time as the debate is going on.
lol. Yeah, I love my country and don’t want to see it torn apart.
They know if they were fair, they’d have been out on their butts long long ago.
Sucks having to fight the party establishment and the Democrats at the same time, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.
Fruits of the 17th amendment. ...uniparty
I used to think Bush was a lock, via Democrat Op Chaos 2016.
But with Hillary imploding so quickly, the Dems may have a horse race on their side and be unable to get Jeb the R nomination.
The GOP is dumb. But I think they know trump will easily win and they are more scared of him than Obama or Hillary or Jeb. So there goal is to “kill” off Trump. But they are really making him more popular withj all the antics.
Bttt
Pay attention. Read Post #26.
George Will was caught writing a series of Walker propaganda columns in the compost and Trump outed him then he disclosed his wife was working for Walker.
All of us would get fired for that type of activity !
Why is Georgy Will still working at the Compost ?
Forgot , He is a DC insider elite !
“Where are all the anti Trump trollers?”
LOL!!! Same question was going through my head. Their constant naysaying is getting soooo tiresome.
Looks like he has a pretty fair chance at that.
Will he be a conservative idol to bow down to? Shoot no.
Will he hear out the people who are supporting him? Emphatic maybe.
If Jesse Ventura could become governor of Minnesota then surely Trump has a shot at the White House. Sometimes these rasslin outsiders know a thing or two about whippin up support that politicians don’t, or can’t.
“A political party has a right to … secure its borders,”
Oh really? So the GOPe wants to secure its “party borders”?
Honestly I think Trump is leading pretty much everywhere. GA for sure. He will take the whole South including Fla. Jebbie and Scotty are toast.
Imagine the list of those special interests we're told must be welcomed in the name of 'diversity.'
But there's no room for Trump supporters.
How ‘religious’ is Trump? Just curious.
“No, if he goes indy he will gain millions if indys and dems that you couldnt get to vote R with a gun to their head.”
YOU ARE DEAD ON THE MONEY!
ORDAINED by whom? The east coast good old rich boys club?
F*CK THEM!
Bttt your post
“George Will and the GOPe can all go to Hell.”
BUMP
