Trump nevertheless offers a valuable warning for the Republican party. If responsible men irresponsibly ignore an issue as important as immigration, it will be taken up by the reckless. If they cannot explain their Beltway maneuvers - worse, if their maneuvering is indefensible - they will be rejected by their own voters. If they cannot advance a compelling working-class agenda, the legitimate anxieties and discontents of blue-collar voters will be exploited by demagogues. We sympathize with many of the complaints of Trump supporters about the GOP, but that doesn't make the mogul any less flawed a vessel for them.
Some conservatives have made it their business to make excuses for Trump and duly get pats on the head from him. Count us out. Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.

Following his election to the Senate in 1938, his son, Robert A. Taft, Jr. revitalized a moribund GOP delegation and battled the New and Fair Deals until his death in 1953.

The reality is that a great many of these sisagreements are based on perceived electability. That's not something for which such venomous attacks are warranted.
WRONG.
AMEN!

The NRO is not Tea Party, it’s Cocktail Party
;-)
That's the way it is shaping up around here with the way the RINO label gets tossed around.
Give it a rest!
Polls are worthless tools of propaganda and suggestion. Meaningless.
The only poll that counts is the ballot box.
It's both puzzling and alarming that people "entitled" to vote have no clue what "push-polls" are.
Trump hasn’t been part of the eGOP “scene” in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won’t retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.
