Establishment Republicans won’t stop saying or doing stupid things this election season. One after another, they have declared their hatred for Donald Trump or endorsed Hillary Clinton. Those who have not stooped to such unseemliness have little to brag about either, as many of them have repeatedly failed to defend their party’s nominee or undermined him at every turn.

Each time, establishment Republicans eagerly proclaim that they are more decent than the man chosen by a record number of GOP primary voters and supported by 83 percent of self-identified Republicans. Yet, while objecting to Trump’s unconventional style and rhetoric, the Trump haters have no appreciation or answer for the grave issues he raises.

Trump’s refusal to stay quiet upon being attacked by the Muslim parents of deceased Army Captain Humayun Khan unleashed a torrent of anger and self-flagellation on the right. One former senior Republican official, announcing his support for Hillary, said that Trump was “a bigot, a bully, and devoid of grace or magnanimity.” Soon afterwards, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and dozens of former national security advisors for former Republican administrations declared they could not vote for Trump either.

He needs to call out one republican for being a RINO an strike terror into the hearts of the rest of them

He SHOULD HAVE done it to Ryan- He could still do it to McCain

I am grateful for Trump for leading to the exposure of these stealth “Republicans” who are giving conservatives a bad name and all along have waited to help Hillary.

My Senator from Maine, Susan Collins, has become a horrid slag over the years, and should be the 1st RINO to be called out in a VERY public way.

I will never ever give one red cent to the R-rats who are trying to undermine our primary voting system and elect Hilliary the Corrupt.

No. He's running for president and will need plenty of independent votes. Some distance from these folks is a net plus. Their biggest fear is that he might win. Make THEM over-reach. They are flies.

Pigs don't like anyone who threatens to take away their slop bucket.

It's not only the welfare moochers who love the government teat.

In fact, the Washington insiders are living a hell of a lot better on the teat than the welfare moochers.

This quote pretty well explains why democrats succeed and why republicans don't want a president who will fight them.

Promoting Sharia is in no way an action of a “Model American”.

[Paladin2]

The Senate has many GOPee contenders for that honor.

[ZULU]

I hate establishment RINOs more than I hate socialist Democrats at this point.

The thing that amazes me is these people really seem to believe that if Trump loses we will all bow at their feet, apologize for the error of our ways and beg them to lead the party.

Sorry to disturb your little dream, dudes, but we'll be coming at you with pitchforks and torches!

[jospehm20]

I agree.

[litehaus]

” we’ll be coming at you with pitchforks and torches!”

Sent that one to RINO RYAN several times in past months...

[pingman]

I hope Trump has the sense to hold that back until after Friday, January 21st, unless some golden moment presents itself.

Too late, FOX has a group of talking heads that are saying Trump is broke an if election were held today Hillary would win 400 delegates. Keely Meegan is not there tonight.
