If the GOP Ever Wants to Win Again, They Need to Be Ready to Purge People Like This from the Party
After November, the GOP is going to have to do some soul searching and decide how much of Trump and Trumpism they want to ingest on a permanent basis into the party. Disagree with the folks at the RNC on strategy or not, they are not stupid. They know good and well that when Ted Cruz dropped out of the race after Indiana, Trump at that time only had 37% of the Republican primary vote.
They know that represents huge, supermajority opposition to Trump among Republican primary voters. In terms of actual Republicans (as distinguished from the Democrats who crossed over to vote for Trump in open primaries), Trump’s level of support is much lower. The RNC knows that there are a great many Republicans who are reluctantly voting for Trump during this election because of Hillary, but who have no interest in staying long-term in a party that is defined by Trumpism. I think the RNC dares not embrace full Trumpism as a permanent feature of the party, and discussions are doubtless occurring about the path forward if November turns out to be a bloodbath.

I will tell you, however, that if people like this are allowed to remain in positions of prominence and influence in the party, the Republican party will soon be reduced to Trump supporters exclusively – and that would represent the absolute death of the party as a relevant political entity.
Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of Supervisors and head of the Trump campaign in Virginia, called Republican support for Johnson/Weld “traitorous and destructive.”
“There is no such thing as an anti-Trump group,” Stewart told AMI Newswire. “Anti-Trump is pro-Hillary, and that’s what groups like this really are.”
He wasn’t finished.
“If we lose, I’ll know where to go to place blame,” Stewart said. “If they want careers in politics afterwards, they won’t get them. They’ll be destroyed. This is treason against Trump. For whatever reason — their pride, their personal interests — they will damage America permanently by helping elect Hillary Clinton. They are immature babies who are tearing down the Republican Party.”

In truth, Trumpism may be better than McConnellism, Boehnerism, or Ryanism.
The GOP is truly rotten from the head, and has been since the Kennedy assassination.
It would have been great to have a man of character and intellect like Ted Cruz for our candidate, but the MSM spent $7.5 billion to keep that from happening.
We have to beat Hillary!

So, the long knives are out even before the election! Blame everywhere except where it lies. We let 12 million democrats vote for Trump, but to the RNC, that was a mile better than letting Cruz win. PERIOD. So, they get what they want, but don’t want, as well.
The RNC/GOP is dead now, and it is past time. All our eyes are open now. There is nothing to return to. To stay with the GOP is a fool’s errand. They don’t want to return to the party of Lincoln, Coolidge and Reagan, so we might as well form a new brand. The time could not be better.

“Treason to Trump”?????? What the heck does that mean? Is he the King now?
Used to be that treason was committed against the government in this country not an individual. These people are just nuts.
