Predictably, the political right and left are in a tizzy over the prospect [of Trump winning the GOP nomination], but for different reasons. On the right, it is a "moral and character issue" according to Erick Erickson, organizer of Conservatives Against Trump. A group of conservative activists met and drafted a statement denouncing Trump but said activists declined to sign the statement or otherwise identify themselves. Surprising that they would not all be proud to publically stand against Trump rather than scheme against him behind closed doors.
The GOP establishment is also down on The Donald because, in their opinion, he would lose badly to Hillary Clinton. Karl Rove takes it farther, promising, "If Trump is the nominee, the GOP will lose the White House and Senate." Severely conservative Mitt Romney agrees: "a Trump nomination enables her [Hillary Clinton's] victory." Even severely underwhelming presidential candidate Lindsey Graham says of Trump, "He's going to lose badly."
The left too is in panic mode about Trump's march to the nomination. At first glance, this makes no sense. If Trump is as bad a candidate as Rove, Romney, Graham, and others believe, the left should be doing handsprings over the prospect of him being the candidate to face Clinton in the general election and lose in a landslide. Instead of criticizing Trump, big media should be quietly encouraging his candidacy, running their own version of operation chaos.

So why are Democrats suddenly reaching across the aisle in a rare display of bipartisanship to join their Republican foes in opposing Donald Trump's candidacy? Are they really looking out for the best interests of the Republican Party?

My analogy is its like taking a bone from a hungry dog...
Gimedats being the dog
Rove a “pandering RINO”?
No.
He is a whore...who wants to be a high-priced whore.
OK, that's true. But the right is more afraid of him... it has nothing to do with 'moral' or 'conservative' it has to do with loss of power.
The answer always arrives in disguise. EE and the punditry class can list the problems, they have NEVER PROVIDED A SOLUTION. Trump will gut the federal government... Why do the so-called conservative talking heads reject this? Just like the racialists needing racism, the pundits NEED BIG GOVERNMENT TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE.
Yes, the GOPe pundits from Rush, Levin, Hugh to the phoneys on Faux News need rats in power to have something to talk about!
And now they are concerned over the well-being and future of the Republican Party?
I'm really starting to like Brian C. Joondeph ...
Of course they are. If we ever decided to really go after TRAITORS, most of the liberal establishment would have to flee the country or face death row. Unfortunately, it may come to that.
They are afraid that he will guarantee President Hildabeast, taking back the Senate and making a run at the House? mmmmmkay Whatever helps the author sleep at night.
The left will always tell you who they fear.
13 minute video reveals that Trump “GETS IT.”
This is why the oligarchs are suffering embarrassing bouts of public diurnal enuresis.
There will be MANY MORE attempts on Trump and his family. I just pray they FAIL and the criminals responsible face justice (but I’m not holding my breath).
I haven’t been an Alex Jones fan as his stuff tends toward the sensational. That said, hearing that there REALLY IS a plan in place to take over the world can be rather sensational to folks who hear it for the first time and/or suffer severe guilt for knowing it — and have done nothing to resist while knowing that their children and grandchildren will be denied the birthright THEY inherited!
Now — thanks to Trump — that that plan is becoming clear to millions of folks, Jones is becoming more mainstream every day.
Here is one of his more “interesting” videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDr2NJPv8kE
PLEASE WATCH THEN SHARE WIDELY!
Nope! It's the same reason...they both are afraid that he'll win in November.
Trumpophobia.
“Right, Trump has completely taken away Hillary’s natural dem media advantage. Cruz hasn’t and won’t.”
That is a big reason I favor Trump. The media will simply ignore Cruz, Trump will not be ignored, additionally he will run roughshod over the media.
“That is a big reason I favor Trump. The media will simply ignore Cruz, “
Even now Cruz is complaining about the lack of airtime, when he goes up against Hillary nothing will change.
“Trump will not be ignored, additionally he will run roughshod over the media.”
Yup. And about friggin’ time!
Apparently you don’t know the origin of the phrase “severe conservative”.
You obviously missed the time 4 years ago when Mitt Romney called himself a “severe conservative”...
Is he the one employing pinko tactics like blocking roadways to deny others their First Amendment rights?
Is he the one generating "blacklists" of anyone who supports him?
Is it his PAC who is stalking his meeting with GOP leaders tomorrow so he can intimidate people from attending?
The people constantly yelling, "Nazi!" aren't entirely wrong. They've just got the wrong guy.
any politician that has to tell you they are conservative is not conservative because a true conservatives actions will have the left screaming right wing fanatic.
OK. Looked it up. Somehow I missed that.
Not all of us are FR junkies. Some of you people have a life. It’s ok to miss something now and again. :)
