They are not going to listen. They are depending on, like they have always depended, loyal sheep to hold their nose and hope once again.
It will be enough of a difference to be devastating to their chances of beating Hillary. The margin they NEED is in those disaffected, disappointed voters whose votes and wishes may just well be ignored for “party unity”.
Ken Blackwell (yes, that Ken Blackwell) said as much a few days ago. In their fantasy world, everyone will come together because Hillary is so horrible. Like they came together in 2012 because a second Obama term was too horrible? Riiiight.
We shall see.
There will be the primaries coming up in the northeast, which could very well end up being a blow-out for Trump.
“They are depending on, like they have always depended, loyal sheep to hold their nose and hope once again.”
Can’t blame them really. Look at the beginning of the primary season everyone here seemed to want an “outsider” that’s going to take it to the “Washington Cartel” (Ted’s words). We were sick of DC and beltway career pigs at the trough.
Then it turns out Ted isn’t really an outsider. He no longer speaks about going against the Washington Cartel and all of a sudden, that’s en vogue again! Being an insider is “ok” if you’re the right kind of insider with the proper pedigree apparently.
GOP sees that huge (and hypocritical) shift from demanding an outsider who’ll fix DC to being ok with a connected Congressman. They see a whole bunch of people who are willing to be manipulated in order to stick it to another candidate.
No wonder the GOP feels emboldened. I think what GOP Cruz/Kasich are doing is sleazy. That’s the SAME exact type of politician we’ve all had to back election after election.
No thanks.
I’m backing the guy who has NOT been a DC insider. I’m on the GOP **chit** list for sure. I consider it a badge of honor because I believe country should come before party.
But, that’s just me.
