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.

Exactly...he didn’t “trot” up there with his hat in hand...He didn’t go to reassure them that he wasn’t going to do anything to hurt them...He went there, as I said in different words, to let them know what he was going to do and they needed to help, not hinder...

My guess is that it a was a polite, subtle warning...

Trump KNOWS he has the American people behind him...More than a lot of people think....

Sometimes I think the only difference between the GOP elites and the donk elites is that the Democrat elite is willing to pay for the bipartisan mess they have made of this country and the Republican elites won't pay for it in the way of higher taxes. They do not seem to realize that after they have helped the Democrats flood the country with cheap labor and socialist votes the GOP elite will not be needed by the Democrats and guess who is going to pay the taxes then? I am sorry I ever supported tax cuts for wealthy and for business. After thirty years of tax cuts it appears that they no longer associate high taxes with higher spending(only with working with the Democrats to get things done lowers their taxes).

I sit here amazed that some people think the idea that Trump went in there pounding tables, making demands to comply or else...

They can’t figure out that the “campaign Trump” was basically a strategy...

General election Trump will be a whole different strategy...

The Dana PeRino Wing of the Republican Party will be voting for Hillary(or Biden)this November. You can take that to the bank.

What about the word “polite” did you misunderstand???

Please show me where I said anything at all about “pounding tables” or “making demands”...

Why are you just making stuff up as you go????

I was not referring to you specifically ...

I thought the words “some people “ rather than the word “you” made that clear...

Sorry for the confusion...

You can read/trust Avalon at your own risk.

Don’t find him trustworthy.

This election is not R vs. D. It’s about We The People vs. Globalists.

We have to win this one or there will be no USA ever again.

If Hillary wins, our 2nd. Amendment will be overturned. They will disarm us! Our 1st. A is already under fire as “hate speech.”
