The Harvard Republican Club came out against Donald Trump this week, making this the first time in 128 years the college organization has refused to support the Republican presidential nominee.
“Donald Trump holds views that are antithetical to our values not only as Republicans, but as Americans,” the club wrote on their Facebook page. “The rhetoric he espouses – from racist slander to misogynistic taunts – is not consistent with our conservative principles, and his repeated mocking of the disabled and belittling of the sacrifices made by prisoners of war, Gold Star families, and Purple Heart recipients is not only bad politics, but absurdly cruel.”
Lordy, you wouldn’t think these high-minded Harvard conservatives would spend their days zoning out in front of the liberal media, but it just goes to show you how omnipresent and invasive the establishment’s anti-Trump narrative really is.
This litany of Trump complaints looks like it could have come straight from the pages of the Huffington Post. Racist slander? Not in evidence. Misogynistic taunts? He’s hurled some attacks at specific women, but only a liberal would regard those attacks as commentary on an entire gender. Are these really Republicans, or are they just Republicans by Harvard standards?
“He isn’t eschewing political correctness,” the club tells us. “He is eschewing basic human decency.”
Oh, go cry in your porridge.
These Republicans, much like the oh-so-principled conservatives who write for outlets like The Blaze and RedState, are showing themselves to be some of the most easily-offended people in the country. And that’s really saying something. Trump’s affinity for the occasional sharp jab and the occasional off-color joke has blinded these idiots to the reality of 2016 America. Did these people grow up in a bubble where none of their friends ever said anything controversial or impolite?
“Millions of people across the country are feeling despondent,” they write. “Their hours have been cut, wages slashed, jobs even shipped overseas. But Donald Trump doesn’t have a plan to fix that.”
Oh? And who does? Hillary Clinton?
These Ivy League snobs don’t know the first thing about how “millions of people” in America are feeling. Most of these kids have never earned an hourly wage in their life, and they don’t know anyone who has. To them, these are just words. No matter who gets elected – Clinton, Trump, Harambe the Gorilla – their lives will be just fine. They don’t have a personal stake in this election.
But for the “millions of people” they claim to sympathize with, this election isn’t an exercise in rhetoric. It’s a chance to actually put the brakes on this country’s terrifying slide into socialism, throw the cronies out of Washington, and recapture the spirit of American exceptionalism before it’s too late.
Turn the country over to the greatest corruptor in history. The fastest way to completely euthanize this nation is to vote Hillary for president.
This Harvard group is highly unpatriotic. In the turmoil, or chaos that would happen to this nation, now reduced to pitiful status, under a battle axe like Hillary would be catastrophic.
Americans should be concentrating on ridding our nation of the arrogant self aggrandizing elitist scumbags. They who would know the meaning of Eithics, Morals,integrity, honor; what it means to earn an honest days pay. Harvard is the school of sh-t heads.
More good news for the common folk
Harvard elites spurn trump
>>Harvard and Republican are oxymorons.
Always remember that the founder of the American Progressive Movement, Robert M. La Follette was a Republican Senator. Historically, the GOP is not what those of us who got to experience the Reagan era tend to think it is. Reagan was the anomaly. These Harvard Republicans are pushing back against another one of those anomalies.
Oh noes we’re doomed!!! /s
Vote Trump 2016
Great News - Trump just lost a couple of dozen RINO votes and Gained a couple of million Independent votes
Well, they all want to grow up to be the sort of tut-tutting snuff-box flaunting, lace-cuff GOPe, never-Trumpers that they see on TV.
From the club that gave us Mitt.
So much for ‘beautiful minds’ of the ivory halls. Puke on those educated fools. Go Trump-— victory will be sweet to defeat the grasshoppers in the way.
Pro-infanticide, pro-regulation, statist Republicans are not true Republicans.
I don’t care what they call themselves.
One must keep in mind that Harvard “Republicans” are the elite cadre of the next generation of Establishment Republicans, and as such, fall neatly in line with the Bush version of “Republican”.
Globalist, big-government, high-tax “Republicans” that in their hearts, are almost indistinguishable from Kennedy Democrats.
There is only one viable “anti-Hillary” out there, and his name is Donald J. Trump. If you are not with us, you are against us.
Once again... All the right enemies.
Thanks pubies !
Those harvardians are pompous useless wordy persons.
There is no use listening to their establishment blabla
GO TRUMP
I was waiting to see who these guys would endorse before deciding. /s
And let's also remember that Teddy Roosevelt himself was a Progressive, and ran as the candidate for the progressive Bull Moose Party, which split the Republican vote and gave the 1912 election to progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
(Teddy ought to be blasted off Mt. Rushmore.
Ha Ha, this is really funny. How many people who espouse core Republican principles are there at Harvard, two?
With “Republicans” like that, who needs Democrats?
I’ll make sure to not hire any Harvard lawyers.
Damned impressive use of that very elegant word "eschew." The mere use of this rarefied item demonstrates the superiority of those Harvard blokes to us unwashed plebes. The problem is they are using this word in support of absolute nonsense.
If there is one thing we know about Trump, it is that he loves, admires and respects women. He is the antithesis of misogynistic. He is more correctly a philogynist. Take that you Harvard drones!
These Harvard guys have embarrassed themselves.
There are republicans at Harvard?
