Establishment Republicans are close to a melt-down following Donald Trump’s big wins on Super Tuesday. They have thrown everything the could against him, feigned outrage at every little politically incorrect comment he has made, and they still cannot dislodge him or damage his popularity. They cannot understand how this could have happened, and they are still hoping a solution will arise that keeps them running the show. That is not likely to happen, and one has to wonder if they will go into the general election supporting Republican iconoclast Trump or Democrat parliamentarian Hillary Clinton.
It did not have to be this way, but the Republican establishment refuses to acknowledge it. Conservative Republicans begged their political leaders to fight Obama, to refuse his illegal immigration and amnesty programs, to use the power of the purse to stop his outrageous programs, and to demand justice with the IRS scandal. And each time, worthless Republican “leaders” like Mitch McConnell and John Boehner replied that they would get more aggressive if only the people would give them the power. But they said that as a minority party, their hands were tied.
Then in the 2014 elections Republicans won stunning victories and ended up controlling the House and the Senate, and the result was…. more of the same. It turns out that establishment Republicans are more interested in keeping their jobs and kowtowing to big money donors and big business than listening to what Main Street America is saying. And so they have no one but themselves to blame for the rise of populist Donald Trump.
See what establishment Republicans are saying about Trump and his supporters, page 2:
to just say how bad politics has gotten today, watch the attacks of the leading man. This will not end well for this country. The world is laughing at America again and has for 7 years now.
The Establishment is out of control, time to rebuild!!! Go Trump!
National review is a disgrace, who cares what they say?
Keep talking and the whole country will see your shame.
Bill Krystal is a dinosaur whose opinion means Jack.
They understand what side of their bread is buttered, well so does America. TrumpTrain
The National Review can not go lower even if thet wanted to. I have stoped reading them since 2012 when viciously attacked Gingrich during the primary campaign after South Carolina, almost as viciously as they are doing this job on Trump and allies. And on as on me.
What do they call the people who support Hillary?
National Review you are corrupt SOB”S and you know Trump is going to change your filthy agenda.
Who care about a nothing liberal rag like the Review…
