Just a few steps from the White House, the latest secret gathering of Republicans seeking an answer to the question of who can still stop Donald Trump reached a demoralising answer for their party on Thursday night: Hillary Clinton.
A bleak mood has swept over the Grand Old Party in the past 24 hours as the multiple implications of Trumps latest victory in primary elections on Tuesday have slowly sunk in.
The first realisation came quickly, as Marco Rubios chastening defeat in his home state of Florida forced him to join Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and Chris Christie on the heap of discarded alternatives.
These once-promising candidates were meant to provide the answer to a problem that has dogged the party for a decade how to appeal to a US electorate that is growing less white and less traditionally conservative.

Care to explain that? And I'll tell you something else: I'd rather a liberal who at least believes in America and its people, than a gutless, self-serving, go-along-to get-along sack of horse manure that crumbles the instant someone calls him a fascist or a racist, simply for wanting to uphold and equally apply the law, or for having the temerity to be proud of this country and its history.
And for what it's worth, I don't think Trump is a liberal. Just because he donated to dems, and was seen in public with the Clintons, doesn't mean he is. He is a businessman, and smart enough to know that you have to pay to play with the rats in our government. Given how weak republicans are, I suspect Trump saw a much better return on his investment donating primarily to dems (dems much higher propensity to be corrupt and grant favors for cash was likely a factor as well).
Is Trump a "pure" conservative (whatever that means)? No, but he isn't Obama or Hillary or Hitler or Mussolini either.
Republicans are going to do what they always do historically if Trump does not have a conservative as his running mate.....SIT AT HOME!
That group do not vote pro-murder of infants.
By his on words.
I agree with you on many points, but I just don’t trust him. Either he is a complete imbecile (unlikely) or a snake. He reminds me of Obama with everyone trying to decide if he is stupid, cunning, or both. I’ve had enough of narcissists in chief to last me a lifetime.
