WaPo’s Gerson: All My Meetings With Republicans Are ‘Therapy Sessions’ Over Trump
Breitbart ^ | 3/18/2016 | PAM KEY

Posted on 03/18/2016 7:37:24 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, Michael Gerson said when he talks to Republicans it has become “therapy sessions” over anxiety caused by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s success.

Gerson said, “Yeah, every group of Republicans that I meet with now, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are therapy sessions. People wondering how they deal with this fact because it’s not just a political decision here, it’s a moral one. There’s a candidate who’s placed exclusion at the center, at the heart of the Republican message. That’s causing people real concerns. What do you do? Do you sit it out? Do you support a third party candidate? Do you support Hillary Clinton, which might be possible.”

He added, “Look at the pathetic example of Chris Christie and the way he looks in this, and these are horrible, impossible choices that Republicans are talking about all the time.”

Bunch of worthless, overpaid, stuck up elitists, crying in their embroidered lace hankies about the arrival of a real man, who’s coming to Washington to take their pampered asses to the woodshed.

Run, you villainous scum!

“The masks are coming off.”

The masks are practically littering the streets, there are so many of them falling. It’s quite revealing, and even breathtaking in some instances.

It’s almost painful to see how deep and widespread the betrayal is.

God said the same thing, just before the flood.

I have yet to meet a Republican (a regular Joe) that had a problem with the idea of Trump as president. Even those that support another Republican candidate are OK with Trump if he is the one in November.

I take the same position regarding any of the Republican candidates; any of them is preferable to any Democrat (by a huge margin).

It's not the mask that counts. It's the person underneath.

Here they are...

True, very true. This “anxiety” is ALL inside the Washington and New York “repubbie” base....
The rest of the country is smugly satisfied.

FUDC.

...and not ONE LOUSY BIT of introspection on how the GOPe screwed regular conservative Republicans OVER AND OVER, caving in to Obama (and Reid and Pelosi and Durbin) OVER AND OVER.

Sitting idle when the President has an out of control pen and phone (bordering on if not de facto treason and other impeachable offenses), rolling over to the Democrats and media (but that would be redundant) OVER AND OVER.

The GOPe created this nightmare, brought us pansy-ass leaders, turn-coats, and fakers.....AND HAVE NO INTROSPECTION! Romney, Rove, McConnell, Ryan - all need to go home and suck lemons.

Rinse Reince, Repeat.

Michael Gerson needs to hop in his car and talk to people OUTSIDE of Washington DC. He can head out toward the West and stop every hundred miles for the next few weeks and TALK TO EVERYDAY Americans... There really IS a world outside of DC Elite rip-offs living off the tax payer gravy train....

I was referring to excluding illegals and Muslims from our country, not voters from the GOP.
