The neoconservatives made the same declaration in 1992 — they would bolt the party if Buchanan won. Party loyalty only applies when their guy wins — and then they demand it of everyone else.

That's one of the things I find really annoying about this situation. For decades these guys have been offering up drivel like Bush I, Dole, McCain, Romney - telling us to be patient, but when the shoe is on the other foot, they show a heckuva lot more intolerance than conservatives ever have.
I have issues with Trump, but he's already done the country a service by exposing just how deep the rabbit hole goes here and just how rotten to the core our system has become. The Republicrat DEmublican UniParty has been a massive conspiracy to give Americans the delusion they had choices and were free citizens in a democracy. Turns out it's all just been kabuki theater for these guys and real choices are the last thing they want.
Funny how these guys never showed this kind of fire in their bellies against Obama, never.
What does that tell you?
