Democrats united behind Clinton, GOP divided on Trump
CNN ^ | June 9, 2016 | Stephen Collinson

The Democratic establishment disarmed Bernie Sanders' political revolution in a swift and ruthless counter coup Thursday, lining up behind its own heir apparent, Hillary Clinton.

"I'm with her," Obama declared in a web video in which the party's ultimate super delegate endorsed Clinton and effectively imposed a truce in an often divisive primary campaign. Hours later, Vice President Joe Biden said "God willing," Clinton would be the next president. Sen. Elizabeth Warren added her voice as well.

It was the kind of mind meld between a party's establishment and its presumptive nominee that has eluded Republicans, with many GOP power players still squirming over Donald Trump's latest controversy -- his comments that a U.S. judge with Mexican ancestry is biased against him.

CNN political commentator David Gergen, an adviser to a string of Republican and Democratic presidents, said he was struck by the contrast between the two parties.

"The Democrats (are) now swiftly and smoothly closing ranks, versus the Republicans in tension and near disarray coming out of the last three weeks," Gergen told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Why is it that the Democrats can figure out the obvious, but the Republicans can't, that to win, you need to unite and fight the opposite party, not each other.

Because a large number of Republicans ARE Democrats. Especially the ones in power.

They might want to wait for Bernie to actually drop out and tell his voters to vote for her first.

The same crap from the Clinton News Network. Do you really think this worthless piece of crap that calls itself a “news network” will ever publish an unbiased article concerning anyone? Nonsense.

For Trump to win and he will in a Reagan style landslide, he must rid himself and the party of the inside the beltway and GOPe hanger oner’s. He doesn’t need them to win. The further he repels them the bigger his victory.

Ryan, McConnell, Graham, McCain, Romney, Kaisich, Cruz, etc. are all traitors aka DemocRATS. DemocRATS and RINO’s all attack Trump. None attack Hillary.

All of the Media, including Fox News, is just as bad with very few exceptions.

It isn’t true. The young people who backed Sanders are beyond incensed and alienated. They are the base, they are many, and normally would have been the FUTURE of the Democrat wing of the uniparty.

The disaffected nomenklatura of the GOPe are numerically insignificant. They are the minions and inbred ‘elites’ and are a fringe. They are few, and they are the PAST.

There is no comparison here. Trump may not prevail. He may be stymied intra-gang as was Sanders, but the pressure builds, and NO ONE is running to the animated corpse party of Bishop Willard, Kristolnacht, wee Lindsey, Tippy-toes Jeb, Stabby the Clown, and that general dumpster party of alienated buffoons.

Because of leadership of the Republican Party have a lot more in common with Hillary and the Democrats than they do with Donald Trump and most Republican & Independent voters.

Globalist traitors like Lady Lindsey, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, etc etc etc need to be evicted from the Party like Yesterday.

Why? Uniparty.

What else? I saw the Scarecrow McConnell on CNN trashing Trump yesterday over the 'Mexican judge' thing. When was the last time Harry (the booty) Reid criticized Hellary? Reid makes no bones about being a cretin but that backstabber, spineless, gutless McConnell is a despicable puke. Ted Cruz had him pegged right. Trump should know McConnell doesn't have his back so Donald stop making nice to the turtle-necked uniparty fraud and his ilk.

Hahahahaha! The Democrats are less united than the Trotskyites and the Stalinists were. There are millions of Bernie supporters who won’t vote for Hillary under any circumstances. CNN is blowing smoke up your skirt.

The most important thing to the GOPe is blocking the citizens from stopping The Cheap Labor Express.

They would rather Hillary win.

The GOPe might destroy the Republican party from the Presidency. Ryan and McConnell are not loyal Republicans and are trying to destroy Trumps chances of being President. Everything possible should be done to rip these rotten arses from the Party.

Trump for President.

That is most certainly not a coincidence.
