"The GOP Is On The Verge Of A Meltdown": Senior Republicans Threaten To Vote For Hillary

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With Donald Trump set for a yuuge victory in tomorrow's Super Tuesday slugfest - oddsmakers see 80% chance of Trump being the nominee - tensions are mounting dramatically within the Republican establishment. As The FT reports, many mainstream Republicans believe Mr Trump would struggle to beat Hillary Clinton and are urgently rallying around their man Rubio with some senior Republicans saying privately that they might consider voting for Mrs Clinton if Mr Trump were to end up as their party nominee as one conservative commentator exclaimed "we are on the verge of a real meltdown in the Republican party."

Trump's lead in the polls over his GOP nominee 'peers' continues to grow...

As The FT reports, while Mr Rubio and Mr Trump ramp up their attacks on each other ahead of the March 1 primaries, Republican grandees and lawmakers are turning to the Florida senator as they become increasingly worried that the property tycoon could lock up the GOP presidential nomination within three weeks.

They fear that a victory for Mr Trump could fatally fracture the party and prevent them from winning the White House in November.

 

Many mainstream Republicans believe Mr Trump would struggle to beat Hillary Clinton, the clear Democratic frontrunner after her resounding victory over Bernie Sanders in South Carolina on Saturday, given the comments he has made about Hispanics, Muslims, women, disabled people and people who have criticised his campaign.

But, as the following chart shows, it's far too close to call...

Source: RealClearPolitics

The FT goes on to note that Mr Trump on Sunday issued a thinly-veiled warning that he would consider running as an independent.

“The Republican Establishment has been pushing for lightweight Senator Marco Rubio to say anything to “hit” Trump. I signed the pledge-careful,” he tweeted, a reference to a pledge that all candidates signed to back the party’s eventual nominee.

As panic is setting in within The GOP...

“We are on the verge of a real meltdown in the Republican party,” Hugh Hewitt, the influential conservative radio talk-show host told ABC television on Sunday.

 

Some senior Republicans have said privately that they might consider voting for Mrs Clinton if Mr Trump were to end up as their party nominee. “You’ll see a lot of Republicans do that,” Christine Whitman, the former New Jersey governor who previously compared Mr Trump to Hitler, told the New Jersey Star-Ledger.

 

“We don’t want to. But I know I won’t vote for Trump.”

But none other than Rupert Murdoch chimed in at the craziness and infighting...

And now the neocons are declaring war on Trump (as The Intercept notes)...

Donald Trump’s runaway success in the GOP primaries so far is setting off alarm bells among neoconservatives who are worried he will not pursue the same bellicose foreign policy that has dominated Republican thinking for decades.

 

Neoconservative historian Robert Kagan — one of the prime intellectual backers of the Iraq war and an advocate for Syrian intervention —  announced in the Washington Post last week that if Trump secures the nomination “the only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

 

Max Boot, an unrepentant supporter of the Iraq war, wrote in the Weekly Standard that a “Trump presidency would represent the death knell of America as a great power,” citing, among other things, Trump’s objection to a large American troop presence in South Korea.

 

Trump has done much to trigger the scorn of neocon pundits. He denounced the Iraq war as a mistake based on Bush administration lies, just prior to scoring a sizable victory in the South Carolina GOP primary. In last week’s contentious GOP presidential debate, he defended the concept of neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is utterly taboo on the neocon right. “It serves no purpose to say you have a good guy and a bad guy,” he said, pledging to take a neutral position in negotiating peace.

With Trump’s ascendancy, it’s possible that the parties will re-orient their views on war and peace, with Trump moving the GOP to a more dovish direction and Clinton moving the Democrats towards greater support for war.

Trump presidency would represent the death knell of America as a great power

 

lmao.  Like invading countries that are politically beat down to begin with, by virtue of our own destabilization practices and policies such as exporting inflation via USD reserve currency and domestically planted uprisings, is the definition of a "great power".  This has to be the biggest joke of a statement I have ever read.

This is what's wrong today.  Everything is run top-down.  The people have no say, or when they do as they are now, it's not valid.  Banks run the economy.  Political parties run the government.  Voting is totally symbolic and we the people used as pawns.

Meltdown needed.  Uprisings needed.  Free speech needed.  Rounding up of arrogant 1%'ers needed.  Lamposts and rope needed.

Who cares what dumpy Kagan thinks. All he thinks about is how to instigate another war and get Americans to spill their blood and flip the bill. Well of course he likes Hillary. She's a destructive psychopath just like him.

His dumpy wife Victoria Nuland instigated the Russo-Ukrainian bloodfest. How much was her commission for that. She must be delighted that 9,000 people are dead thanks to her sludge-filled cranium.

The two of them should do what they obviously do best and stick to the all-you-can-eat buffet table. They're like hogs on crack.

And Max Boot? He's a coward who promotes wars, spills other people's blood, then shows up for the fire sale. He's a political firebug. No wonder they're all friends.

None of those warmongers could guard a supermarket. First sign of trouble between two kids they would turn tail and run. They are only good for starting fights and skimming a profit. Peace and quiet makes them restless. They're only happy when huge populations are being put to death.

They are scared to death that a Trump win means they can't play at killing off entire populations because they can get away with it. It would be nice if Trump dropped them into the nations they destroyed and let their targeted victims give them the same.

Donald Trump Jr. Offers To Buy Airfare For Celebs Who Would Flee Country Over Prez Trump

 

 

After a slew of celebrities vowed to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected President, one of the Republican frontrunner’s sons offered to pay for their plane tickets.

“I’ll buy their airfare! I’m more than happy to chip in,” Donald Trump Jr. said Monday during an interview on “Fox and Friends.”

Eric Trump chimed in to say those remarks – from the likes of reverend Al Sharpton, Jon Stewart, and Cher – are the “greatest endorsement ever” for their father’s presidential campaign.

>>>If Trump's not the nominee I'm not voting.

A worthy sentiment, but I'd suggest that if you have any interest in the US electoral process, you should go to the trouble of voting, and vote for anyone you please EXCEPT a non-Trump Republican nominee.

Telling the Republican Establishment to go fuck themselves may not actually advance human well-being, but it feels good. 

If the R's nominate a non-entity like Rubio, it will be nice to see him rack up a total of ZERO electoral votes.  Fuck off and die, Republicans.

OK so here's how this plays out. Trump's plane "crashes" and they get Mitt at the convention. Hilary has another stroke and they put Biden up. So we get a guy who believes everybody gets their own planet when they die versus the Village Idiot.

Trump is a RINO himself.

His candidacy is the resultant backlash of decades of divide and conquer political manipulation.

People are clinging to him because he speaks little bits of truth, made more powerful than they should because of PC repression.

The big picture - larger truths - character - respect - fair play - personal conscience - virtue - are MIA.

Americans used to stand up for all those things.  I hope they do again, and soon!

Bingo!  And, Mr. Rubio the boy wonder, has another problem that is probably weighing on his mind.  If Trump blows him out in FL, Rubio's days in National politics may be about over.  He will almost certainly have at least one opponent in the next FL primary, and if he gets the party nomination, its a good bet that a strong Democrat will emerge to challenge him for his Senate seat.  Trump is giving anyone who wants to pick him off plenty of ammo.

Rubio was up for Senate re-election this November and elected to forego that effort to chase the Prez nomination.  (There's at least 4 candidates on the GOP side for his Senate seat.)  So, once Trump blows everyone out on Super Tuesday and then takes Florida on 3/15, Rubio's political career will have been fully neutered.

To paraphrase the pantsuit satan, "What difference does it make" what I think? I'm a conservative in California. Trump will be "chosen" before I see a primary and even then, here in the land of nuts and fruits those who aren't voting for the aforementioned demon are voting for the commie who never held a job until he was 40.

So go on, tell me why what I think matters. That said, fuck you, GOPe. Serves your asses right and I'm laughing my ass off at your discomfort after the betrayal of the conservatives of this country. Fuck you and your crony puppets, you godless mothertruckers.

Lets be honest here. There are not many Republican registered voters that would ever consider voting for the former First Lady. I see a much higher % that would vote for Sanders. On the flip side, a decent percentage of those registered Democrat would vote for Trump before voting for Hillary. Far less would make that switch if Sanders was the nominee. I think Sanders is the only chance the Democrats have. Hillary would go down in a ball of flames if she got the nomination.  You do have to love the fact that Trump can potentially break both parties ina single election.

I'll say it once (last year before the elections) and I'll say it again now:

"Current politics is best represented by a two headed dragon. Politicians pay lip service to opposing ideologies but both the Republican and Democratic parties are part of the same big government dragon body. The body is moving in one direction; bigger and more powerful government. More control over the electorate. Having the two parties serves a greater purpose though....it divides the populace (sheople?) into two camps that are always at each others' throat. I think this tactic is called divide and conquer. Until we wake up and get away from the 'Repubs this....' or 'Dems that....' blame game then we will be slowly boiled...just like the frog in the frying pan...all while the dragon stands by watching and laughing."

And .....the sheep continue bleeting.

A lot of folks are saying the same thing.  We are having a National conversation about things that should have been discussed long ago.....and there are still many things we have not gotten to yet, but give it time.  For every Republican politician that says he will vote for Clinton, there are probably 10,000 Democrats who plan to vote for Trump, and the more they talk about it, the more it will help Trump.

What I am waiting for is for someone, somewhere to bring up the question of loyalty and dual citizenship.  In a town hall meeting or someplace where the cameras are running live and can't be cut off, and put these guys on the spot would be an amazing thing, and one day, it will happen.  When it does, That is when the American people really start waking up, because it cannot be denied, explained away, or excused once the rock is turned over.

Ya, Hillary is essentially a pro-choice Republican.  On all the things the Republican establishment cares about (pro-Wall Street, war, fake free trade), Hillary is the equal of Rubio.  So voting for her would hardly be a traumatic experience for GOP insiders.  Actually, a lot of them probably prefer Hillary, but pretend oppose abortion and gay marriage as a sop to the dimwit "base."

I'm always shocked when people can't see this.  Rubio/Clinton.  What exactly IS the difference?  Besides lip service to small social issues like abortion.  They just say what is expected of them, off their party affiliations.  Regular people still haven't figured that out yet either.  I thought this past eight years of Neo Con Obama would make people see, and to some extent it has.  Weirdly on the Republican side, as of right now.

Here's a fun little project. Literally only takes a minute, but you will enjoy the benefits for a long time.

(1) Download the "Coincidence Detector" plugin for your Chrome browser. Don't use Chrome? I don't blame you, but hold your nose and use it anyways for this project.

(2) Once the plugin is installed, go to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

(3) Is there an echo in here??

(4) Enjoy surfing the rest of internet and be amazed at the "coincidences" you'll find!

I am doing something similar with a program called Quotemine. it's not as easy as a plugin, but it can be used to map news articles, dates, and authors so that you can see coincidences in news stories.

It's not so odd that the Republican party is still burying their heads in the sand, as to the eventuality of Trump being the nominee.  If they had any sort of intelligence, they would just back him starting right now.  Then, if he gets beat by Clinton, just blame it all on Trump.  Jeez.  Instead, by continuing the fight it is THEY who are wrecking this train with no survivors, all because they are throwing a bitch fit.

And btw, shouldn't Rubio be down in Florida defending his Senate seat?  Nope.  Instead he's going to lose to Trump and lose re election.  Pretty genius of him.

I find there is a common denominator amongst republicans who disdain Trump; an Egotistical mind-set. They resent him for his brash style. Oh, come on, are you going to sacrifice our country's future because your ego is offended by a winning candidates style? That is both absurd and shameful. Time to get on-board all you Trump nay-sayers.
