If Trump loses, his supporters will point a finger at the GOP, and not without some justification. Have the GOP stalwarts thought about where this will leave the party? Are they thinking at all? I hope they’re prepared to become Democrats, because there won’t be anywhere else for them to go.
What really, really, really irks me is that some of us have been cutting the GOP-e some slack for YEARS because they have used the line, “Support the party even if the nominee isn’t your perfect idea.”
Now, millions of people have voted for a man THEY aren’t thrilled about and yet, they are such bitter hypocrites that they won’t support him. The Bush family (George P. is the exception), the Romney clan, Ted Cruz (not a GOP-e guy), almost all of them.
These middling “Republicans” listed by the Washington comPost aren’t, in my mind, of much account. Even the elected officials like that clown Pressler are so far gone...he lost an independent bid, so it is clear he isn’t “Republican”. They’re people who treat politics like a business. They aren’t conservatives first. So phooey on them.
But the leadership people really are a disappointment.
I suppose Reince is going out to dispute the notion the party higher ups are not going to be moved by these Republican morons. That is good.
Paul Ryan ought to be out there, too—saying that Trump is our nominee, and we will find ways to work WITH him and not against him.
