My prediction as well if the corrupt GOPe is successful in creating chaos at the convention by not supporting the candidate with the most votes cast.
” So, if the Republican Party explodes, I might just hear it from under a palm tree! “
Maybe the smartest guy in the room.
I too can attest to the corruption of the leadership of the GOP establishment - totally corrupt and I really don't think Trump can Cruz can beat them back, we'll see.
God bless and keep Matt Towery.
I will miss his columns.
He’s one of the best guys and I share his sentiments.
Cruz is causing the chaos now. He is an Establishment tool and if he runs in the future he can count me out as a supporter.
I was in the same place a couple of years ago and I can relate. My wife and I asked my mother to move in with us for what turned out to be the last three years of her life. It was deeply rewarding to be able to repay for the years she spend raising me and to be able to renew what had been a "long-distance" relationship for the 20 previous years. BUT, the last three months of her life when she was bed ridden was VERY stressfull. Very different than just visiting a dying parent in the hospital for an hour or two every other day. It hurts a lot but makes you feel good that you are there for her and she is surrounded by those who love her rather than in a hospital in her last days. My heart goes out to this author and I wish him all the best. My God bless him and his mother.
The guard is changing, in many ways.
“The Conservative Opportunity Society” faded away, as conservatives in gov got corrupted by the money and powe and political correctness.
It requires resurrection.
His twitter feed, which he might devote more time to: https://twitter.com/MattTowery
Gonna miss his column.
My prediction is the GOPe will nominate Bob Dole and John McCain as the President/Vice Presidential candidates.
I can't speak for the rest of y'all, but I damn' sure do plan on having fun storming the castle! Complete with plenty of tar, rope and feathers --- in the spirit of the Founding Fathers.
See you in Cleveland!! :-)
A Republican Party that currently exists purely for the sake of holding power will come to an end.
********************************************
It’s actually a Republican Party that currently exists to block conservatives from power.
Their purpose is to prevent the citizens from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.
If the Cheap Labor Express gets their Designated Loser amnesty candidate it will be GOP-RIP.
Poor guy. He’s been through a lot and must be exhausted.
Bump, the GOP is history. FUGOP
You did good, Matt. Good luck with the family and your future career!
Excellent summary of what has been happening since last summer!
“First by demanding a loyalty pledge. Then running endless negative Super PAC ads. And recently hitting him again with the “anti-female” mantra. This over a lamentable series of Trump jabs at Cruz’s wife in response to what Trump perceived as a Cruz-condoned and equally lamentable attack on Mrs. Trump. Sordid, silly and distracting stuff.
The totality of these efforts has potentially slowed Trump’s momentum. At the same time, the old guard has accelerated looking at convention rule changes and the filling of state delegations with anti-Trump delegates.
Clearly, they aren’t sure they can slow him down enough at the ballot box. But to try, some leaders who intensely disliked Cruz are now embracing him. He doesn’t go along or get along with his fellow GOP senators, a badge of honor this election cycle. But they will support Cruz to help him deprive Trump of a first-round victory at the GOP convention. Then, in subsequent rounds of voting, with delegates increasingly free to vote as they wish, those delegates could look elsewhere for a nominee.
If this all comes to pass, the GOP will cease to exist as a major party. Trump’s supporters will abandon the party. Cruz’s supporters, if double-crossed, will sit November out. A Republican Party that currently exists purely for the sake of holding power will come to an end. Perhaps a good thing. This likely won’t be resolved until the July Cleveland convention.”
“If this all comes to pass, the GOP will cease to exist as a major party.”
It has come to pass.
“Trump’s supporters will abandon the party. Cruz’s supporters, if double-crossed, will sit November out. “
I didn’t abandon the party, the party abandoned me.
