Yep!! It’s all about retaining power! Selfish buttholes! I do hope in the near future we form a new party....I am so sick of the Republican establishment!

The comments after the article perfectly illustrate the derangement of the neverTrumpers.

These are same people that could NEVER find a good time to go against Obama’s budget.

These are the same exact people that NEVER saw an acceptable time to Fight against Obamacare.

These are the same peeps that didn’t want to be seen opposing Obama at any critical juncture. They played games and criticized him, while saying how good of a man he is, after he just crushed a major victory. In other wors, they strategically criticized him politely when it had no effect whatsoever, and the battle was fought and the field had been cleared.

They have always admired Hillary. Who is the biggest fake, phony, hollow politician out there.

I have always enjoyed reading VDH.

He still doesn’t get that the Bush/Romney elitists hate the peasants, or if he does he is not letting on.

Great article. Im not a Trump fan but i am happily voting for him and VDH perfectly explains why.

I look at politicians the same way i do sports professionals. I will judge them based on their accomplishments on the field. I do not hold them up as role models, astute businessmen, religous leaders, of moral icons.

If the pokiticans has the right fundamentals and can play the game then thats good enough.

“In a bankrupt Washington world in which “wise man” Colin Powell writes to a multimillionaire donor and lobbyist partner and other insiders about Bill Clinton “d***ing bimbos,” flashes the elite race card, namedrops the Hamptons and the Bohemian Grove, whines that Hillary’s greed drove down his own excessive speaking fees, unkindly attacks his own former promoters, and exchanges e-mail inane intimacies with a former foreign diplomatic official, the supposedly misogynist Trump is the first Republican nominee to entrust his party’s fate to a female campaign manager and a female African-American national spokesperson.”

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Added Caddell, “Behind closed doors, what you have is a sense of an alliance,” pointing out that while one party may be up and the other down at times, they still “eat at the same trough” in Washington.

Truer words were never spoken.

Sadly? Why sadly? I contend any of them could have done it had they gotten behind the same things Trump did. The truth is, none of the other candidates even shared the thoughts that Trump had end espoused, because they do not believe in them.

I like the Marquess of Trumpsberry rules.

The feckless Media got a taste of those rules at last Friday's opening of the Trump Hotel in Washingsnot, District of Thieves.

Victor for a large part of this years succumbed to what some of us label as the elites who hate working Americans and our kindred around the world.

Please go to this great post which describes this intellectual evil hatred of working Americans and our kindred around the world.

What we have been seeing worldwide, from India to the UK to the US, is the rebellion against the inner circle of no-skin-in-the-game policymaking “clerks” and journalists-insiders, that class of paternalistic semi-intellectual experts with some Ivy league, Oxford-Cambridge, or similar label-driven education who are telling the rest of us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think… and 5) who to vote for.

Absolutely A Number 1 and he never mentions my biggest reason to vote Trump - the likely 2-3 Supreme Court Justices!

He mentioned it. "But the proper question is a reductionist “compared to what?” NeverTrumpers assume that the latest insincerely packaged Trump is less conservative than the latest incarnation of an insincere Clinton on matters of border enforcement, military spending, tax and regulation reform, abortion, school choice, and cabinet and Supreme Court appointments. That is simply not a sustainable proposition."
