Just when you think Republican Party leaders can’t possibly get more cynical, more hypocritical or more suicidal, they surprise you.
Over the past week, a few dozen prominent Republicans, led by 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain and joined by Utah’s Senator Mike Lee and Colorado’s Cory Gardner, dropped their support for Donald Trump and called on Republican voters to vote for other, “down ticket” candidates but not Trump.
The New York Times on October 9 published a list of “160 Republican Leaders who do not support Trump,” and newspapers everywhere trumpeted the newest addition to the list.
That chorus was joined briefly by House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said he would vote for Trump but would not campaign for him or with him. Ryan also advised the entire Republican congressional delegation to do the same.
This betrayal of the party’s presidential nominee by top echelons of party leadership can only be called overt sabotage. Whether successful or not in denying Trump a victory on November 8, it undoubtedly is the opening shot in a civil war that will erupt full scale on November 9.

Cannibals!! I say let them eat.
ReplyDeleteThe establishment republicans are deathly afraid that an outsider will expose the personal "side deals" that have been made to further their personal financial gain. Period.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a new Republican party is taking shape where Americans arethe top priority. By by RINOs and liberals.
ReplyDeleteThugs first to go.
DeleteSounds good to me, then I can kill my noisy neighbor and he will just be a causality of war.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump kept his word and honored the pledge they were hell bent on him signing. Donald Trump signed and adhered to the pledge. What did these RINO's do? After they got money he raised for their campaigns, and lies surfaced from the Clinton camp, they dropped Donald Trump. I now question really all the hype over McCain's military service. Maybe he was always shady in telling the truth all along. As far as Ryan, I wrote him off a long time ago and the other traitors will be reminded of their failure to support Trump, when their elections come due.
ReplyDeleteThe old guard doesn't need to feel afraid, the public has known all along about all the personal greed, and backroom deals these creeps conspired to perform for many years. Greed, and power mortal sins and be sure in their final chapters, all of them will end up very, very, badly.
ReplyDeleteI know who to vote for
ReplyDeleteDon't need anyone to tell me who to vote for
Wake up people
Traitors are exposing themselves. It's funny how they are committing suicide all by themselves without any outside help! That are their own enemies!
ReplyDeleteMay the Good Lord harbor and protect Donald J Trump, now and in the future.
Paul Ryan should be removed as Speaker of the House effective immediately. Why isn't Andy Harris banging the totem to get him removed?
ReplyDeleteWe are raising our kids on fast food and video games, different sports every night and Gatorade.
ReplyDeleteThis country needs to go back to church, play unorganized sports with neighborhood kids and come home for dinner at six o clock.
The politicians have always been dirty but now we get more information and can reject them boldly.
It's time for a revolution
Trump/Pence 2016!
