GOP Elite Want Trump’s Ideas and Supporters ‘Permanently Thrown Out’ of the Party
Trump Conservative ^ | 10/12/2016

Posted on 10/12/2016 2:32:10 PM PDT by Rufus Shinra

The fireworks from this weekend's release of tapes showing Donald Trump engaging in 'locker room talk' have died down, but the Never Trump Republicans are continuing their campaign to not only rid their party of Trump, but his "ideas and supporters" as well.

In what is being described as a "coup attempt" within the GOP, it seems high ranking Republicans who were already vocal critics of Donald Trump had a part to play in the timed released of recordings showing Trump engaging in lewd talk regarding women.

Jack Posobiec, the Special Projects Director for Citizens for Trump, describes insiders within the GOP establishment expected Donald Trump to drop out of the race over the embarrassing tapes released, with Mike Pence heading up the ticket in his place. Pence would be expected to lose in November to Hillary Clinton, after supporters would be demoralized at Trump's dropping out, and the establishment could regain control of the party to start planning for a Ryan/Rubio 2020 ticket.

Posobiece also described the events of the GOP in detail during a video interview posted to Youtube yesterday.

Whoever brainstormed this plan, clearly does not know the level of resolve and dedication that Trump has to this movement. It also goes to show the level of arrogance that party insiders have, thinking that after everything Paul Ryan has done to attack the people's chosen candidate he would stand a chance of being elected President in 4 years. Although I'm sure these geniuses in the GOP upper ranks thought that by releasing these "embarrassing" Trump tapes, he would be discredited and even many of his staunch supporters would turn on him, giving the elites not only a victory, but a way of crushing the entire Trump movement as well.

However, Trump seems to have only been made stronger by this coup attempt, as he announced that the "shackles have been taken off" and he can now campaign the way he wants to.

Another ironic part of this story, is Donald Trump has stated before that the Republican party "doesn't know how to win", as they proved with both the Romney and McCain campaigns in the past 8 years. It seems Trump was right, as even the upper echelons of the GOP elite have grossly underestimated the support for Trump, while overestimating the public's perception of themselves.

The political elite will not be so easily unseated from power, however, as literally their very way of life is being threatened not only by Donald Trump, but his supporters, whose eyes have been opened to the systemic corruption and deceit that is so deeply ingrained within both political parties.

The GOP establishment still can't seem to understand the movement that Trump started, as many are convinced they will eventually oust Trump and everything will go back to the way it was. Getting rid of Trump, however, isn't enough for these elites, as they also want his "ideas and supporters" purged from the Republican party and ownership firmly back in the hands of the establishment.

From The Daily Beast:

The last two days have convinced anti-Trump Republicans not only that he will lose, but that there will be a prolonged civil war within the party. Trump not only needs to be humiliated at the ballot box, they say, but his supporters will need to be permanently thrown out.

A strategist for GOP Ohio Gov. John Kasich put the battle in vivid terms: “Sometimes the barn is so infested with rats you just have to burn the damn thing down and start over,” John Weaver tweeted Tuesday.

Never Trumpers will not be satisfied with merely being right, however. The war against Trump will not be over, in the view of many who have opposed him from the beginning, until not only he—but also his supporters and their ideas—are entirely detached from the party.

“After election day, a bitter and protracted civil war will have to be waged to be rid of this mindless and militant Trump cult and to save genuine conservatism’s place in Lincoln’s Republican Party,” said Richard Russell, a Republican who formerly served as an adviser to the U.S. military’s Central Command.

The responsibility for a loss does not end with Trump, these Never Trumpers say—the entire Republican Party apparatus will need to be tossed overboard and replaced, including Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and other members of the Republican establishment that enabled the flawed nominee.

“After the election, there will be a reckoning,” said Carrie Cordero, who gave policy advice to Kasich during the governor’s presidential bid. “First step is Reince needs to go."
This above statements by GOP insiders should be a wake up call for every voter, proving to the public that the Republican party is only on the side of the people, as long as the people are going along with their established plans.

They don't just want to eject Donald Trump from the party, they want to destroy his ideas and the movement he started, otherwise the GOP will be fractured and they will never regain the power that they so desire to hold onto.

What these elites don't seem to realize is, win or lose, the Republican party will never be the same. The realities that Trump has brought to light this year will have long lasting repercussions within both political parties, as well as our government as a whole, and it's far too late for them to do anything about it. In fact, the more the Never Trumpers push, the harder the votes are going to push back. Now that the GOP elite have taken off their masks and revealed to the voters their true motives, which seem to revolve around maintaining their power and the status quo, there is no going back to the way things were.

You may be able to destroy a man, but you cannot destroy the idea and movement that was born from his passion.

No matter what the establishment throws at Donald Trump between now and the election on November 8th, his millions of supporters will not waver in their support for the American ideals he has brought back to life. This is something the political elite cannot understand, as their very claim to power depends on not clinging to any ideals, but instead doing what is in their own best interests despite the negative impact it may have on the country.

You can bet this battle for the Republican party is not over between the elites and the voters. No establishment politician who has been in power will relinquish their authority because of something they consider to be as insignificant as the people's choice, unless we unite send a clear message at the ballot box on November 8th.

The GOP is accepting minority status forever.

Win or lose, the GOP elites have shown their treason and must be defeated.

Of course they want Trump supporters out. They want Tea Partiers out, too. No matter the overlaps and discontinuities between the two groups - they want their own little tent, set up with a sign that says “Big Tent - Democrats and Communists welcome!”

Without Trump supporters, the GOP would not win any election, anywhere.

Maybe it would be worthwhile teaching them this lesson.

They kept lecturing us for years how we needed to "soften our platform" and have a "big tent".

Now we have "changed the platform" by throwing out the idea of unequal trade and have a "big tent" and they whine and moan about it.

Trump has already taken over the party. The big wigs can’t see that they are dead men walking. After this election, the GOPe will be ground into mush and shoveled into the sewer where they belong. The Republican party will be a good place to be for true patriots.

[but his supporters will need to be permanently thrown out.]

THAT is why the GOP sent out the email questionnaire asking if we planned to 1) vote for TRUMP 2) vote a straight GOP ticket 3) give our first and last names. LOL

I’ve read that the Republicans in the House are livid at Ryan. Ryan has killed himself, his dreams of running for president and his plan to enrich himself.

Ryan is a bimbo.

If Trump loses, there will NOT be a GOP for those elites to run.

So the big plan is Ryan/Rubio in 2020? Is this a joke?
