“we will find out if a shocked Republican Party puts up any further resistance to its new barbarian master.”
HA, hey GOPee’s :
Resistance is Futile.
JMHo
Nope, no bias there.
LOL - I love the sound of heads exploding.
Ted, marco, you’re fired.
Let the purge begin.
And if Trump screws up, hes gonna get purged too.
Ain’t it sweet!
Right or wrong good or bad It will give me great satisfaction to watch the republican elites have to hold their noses and vote for Trump like I have done for their Party for the last THIRTY YEARS.
Oh, I am GOING to give them some unity. Oh, sure.
I'm going to unify THE LIVING HELL out of them.
You just wait. I'm not going to foget Ole Orange Face.
Oh, I'm going to give them a biiiig, heaping dollop of Unity.
if a shocked Republican Party
Mr Trump received More Votes than ANY other Republican Primary ever,he set Records BIG TIME.
I wonder what is shocking???
... I think the better word for it is ... they will get in line.
This article was clearly written by someone who wants Trump and the GOP to keep fighting. That only helps Hillary and the Dems, which may be his main objective,
Trump Will make America Great Again!
Hillary would just Grate on America Again!
But let's face it: there's never been a major-party nominee with his background, his temperament, his notoriety, the sheer air of vengeful zeal he inspires in supporters, and the fearful determination he inspires in opponents. Add the most polarizing candidacy in memory to a pre-heated atmosphere of partisan polarization and fundamentals that are relatively neutral, and it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Trump keeps winning right through November.
As to that "vengeful zeal", the author might be correct with respect to the Republicans but it is a common emotion, and motivation, among the Left. It is, in fact, the driving force behind the 0bama administration and we are still reeling from the blows that wretch and his acolytes have inflicted on a country they hate. Vengeful zeal, indeed. It didn't come from nowhere.
The man represents the absolute opposite of the "safe change" an "out party" must normally offer to win over an electorate tired of, but not necessarily angry at, the incumbent party.
Here the author hasn't quite caught up with the zeitgeist yet. It isn't just the incumbent party toward which the anger is directed, although they've earned it for embracing the racism, the contempt for middle America that has so pervaded the political atmosphere for the last eight years. The anger is directed at the arrogant, disconnected, and thoroughly corrupt system that produced that incumbency so perfectly represented by one of the most corrupt and disgusting figures in American politics, Hillary Rodham Clinton. That anger is more universal than Trump's candidacy and will bleed over heavily into his favor should Clinton manage to defeat Sanders for the Democrat nomination.
This isn't, as the author has implied, a normal campaign, and the usual rules he leans on are not going to support his case or his candidate. The voters aren't looking for "safety". They're looking to tear the beating heart out of the current political establishment and Trump just might be the only thing keeping that from happening on a more literal basis.
Trump shakes up the holy GOPee’s? Fine by me!
I have said all along that if Trump secures the nominee, I will support him in the General Election. It looks like this has come to pass, so now I will support Donald Trump.
Trump is infinitely better than either Sanders or Clinton, just as McCain and Romney were both infinitely better than Obama. Supporting the Republican nominee is usually a no brainer, and 2016 is no exception.
Trump was about my 17th choice from the Republican field of 17, but that is irrelevant now. Trump will be the nominee, so Trump will have my support. The fact that New York Magazine hates Trump makes my decision easier.
The press never called Obama a nightmare, which he turned out to be.
