To the extent its still standing after yesterday, the Stop Trump movement is comforting itself with the worlds biggest lie: that John Kasich is the embodiment of the Republican Party, while Donald Trump is the bastard stepchild.
Its exactly the opposite.
It is no longer a question of what the party wants. The voters remember them? keep showering Trump and Cruz with Ceausescu-like percentages. The combined vote for Trump and Cruz is a ringing chorus of what this party wants: a wall, deportation, less immigration and no job-killing trade deals.
In other words, what the party wants is the diametric opposite of what the donor and consultant class wants. One would have to search the history books to find a party establishment so emphatically rejected by the voters as todays Republican Party has been.
Trump and Cruz dont agree on everything Cruz is more interventionist on foreign policy, and Trump is more aggressive on bringing manufacturing home. But theres not much daylight between them on the crucial issue of whether to dissolve Americas borders. By now, they both say build a wall, reduce immigration and protect American jobs.
In other words, Trump and Cruz have totally rejected the Bush/Ryan/Rubio/Fox News/WSJ/RNC establishment position on immigration.
After Mitt Romney lost an election he should have won in 2012, the Republican National Committee convened a group of experts to determine what went wrong, producing what it called an autopsy. It was an autopsy because, you see, the party was dead. And the people who did the autopsy were the ones who killed it.
Have you ever heard of an autopsy being performed by the murderers?
The murderers main recommendation was that Republicans embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform i.e., amnesty.

Would you have preferred Obama, then?
Romney had no ideology or issue he cared about other than upholding some establishment way or life. That came off to the people. Listen, I don’t like and never have liked Obama but Obama believes his own bullshit. That made Romney look as stiff as his hair.
I'm sure we've ALL had our moronic moments!
I shudda read ahead!
Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.
Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.
The Free Republic Free Traitor cabal would do well by digesting this fact.
Beautiful. Americans though have no problem with “immigrants”. We just hate hate illegal aliens. And I wish to hell conservatives would stop falling into the Democrat trap by continuing to allow them to equate the two!
While illegals are somewhat more prone to criminality than their legal cousins, the more important factor in immigration is the source culture of the migrant, not he migrant's possession of some papers.
For example most Muslim immigrants are here legally. They came as family-reunification immigrants or via refugee programs. Their presence here and the concomitant growth of Islam in our homeland, however, is a disaster, giving us regular incidents of terrorism and growing intimidation and political pressure to give in to Muslim cultural takeover.
Similarly, the Mexican and Central American migrants filling our jails and failing schools, voting for democrats (when they become citizens) and demanding affirmative action preferences are also mostly here legally.
The notion that "illegal = bad; legal = good" is a vast oversimplification of our immigration problem.
I would take a thousand totally illegal, overstayed their visas, Irish immigrants any day over a hundred completely legal Pakistani immigrants.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Thus; a flip-flopper.
That'll make a difference to at least one little starfish.
When will Conservatives learn to battle with words and phrases?
Does this not show that THEY, at least, have some values they are willing to FIGHT for?
We 'citizens' should do so; too!
Wait 'til after March; though; as my team is still in the playoffs.
Do NOT make the assumption that ALL Pakistanis are MUSLIM!
