The Republican Resistance to Trump—and the Rise of Republicans for Clinton
Daily Beast ^ | May 12, 2016 | John Avalon

For Republicans, the primary may be over but this is still a time for choosing.

On Thursday, Donald Trump trotted up to Capital Hill to meet with Speaker Paul Ryan and the GOP leadership to try to assure them that he is not an electoral neutron bomb. Mutual hatred toward Hillary seems to be the closest the party can get to unity right now.

I don’t think this is a significant movement.

The real contra-intuitive movement is the anti-Hillary sentiment on the left.

Trump didn’t “trot” anywhere...Trump didn’t TRY to reassure the GOPe anything....Trump met with them to tell them how things are going to be...

I live in the Belly of the Beast, Madistan, WI and there is not a SINGLE Hillary! bumper sticker or yard sign - ANYWHERE!

They Love, Love, Loves themselves some Bernie, though.

If she can’t win the hearts and minds of the dumbed-down, over-educated, lock-step LefTards in THIS town who STILL have Kerry/Edwards stickers on their cars, She. Is. Screwed.

Granted, there are no ‘Trump’ yard signs either, but we Silent Majority Types have learned that that’s a very good way to get your home spray-painted and your car keyed.

Meanwhile, all the Democrats lining up for Trump is the one headline that won’t be ever published.

Sorry about hijacking thread, but I have been watching CNN for the last 10 months. The comical value is irrational. The subject is Trump making crank calls. Lol.
He will win in a landslide.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. Aint no ways tired of Winning yet!
Go TRUMP

Half the republicans are in bed with Hillary,she goes down,they go down

It is simple, Hillary is the Luca Brazi of politics and she pees where it pleases her

""If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Every time I see this picture, it reminds me of this episode of the Twilight Zone.

I hate Bernie as well.

Not as much as Hillary but I do hate him.

-—Trump met with them to tell them how things are going to be...——

Were you there as a fly on the wall?

This was their first meeting...like in any new relationship, both parties put their issues on the table to address their differences...

Trump isn’t stupid, he’s not going to start demanding things before he even knows what he needs to demand to get their support...

I might add Trump actually needs the party to win the general election...so he isn’t going to start making demands to drive them away

He will do what he does best...work a deal...

I know that goes against the Trump mythology...

He will need their organizational stucture and resources to beat Hillary...
