The mess the Republicans have got themselves into leaves them facing a likely landslide defeat regardless of whom they nominate for president. So while television, the press and party leaders focus on whether Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or a Sir Galahad to be named later emerges as their candidate, there is a greater, related question lurking. Does about the Republican Party have a future? Or is the Party founded in 1856 no longer Grand, just Old, falling apart, on its way to dissolution?
In its 2016 campaign, the G.O.P. is squandering the political advantages of the recent tradition of changing parties in the White House after eight years and two seriously flawed Democratic contenders. As a result Republicans no longer have a best course of action. Between now and the July convention in Cleveland — a city that suitably once boasted a flammable mayor and a flammable river — they can only choose the least worst course of action. It is months and years too late for a best course, only a least worst.
Consider the three Republican choices for 2016:
First, the easy, short-term way out: Nominate Trump, grit your teeth and say “the people have spoken” because he will have won the most votes. Have the Republican National Committee work hard on get out the vote efforts.
The upside is avoiding the Cleveland “riot” Trump cheerfully predicted. Nominating him might entice some of his supporters into lasting loyalty to the Republican Party, if there is one. Focusing party resources and Koch Brothers money on other races just might save the Senate majority. But remember, embattled candidates like Ohio’s Senator Rob Portman have to decide whether endorsing Trump or staying silent will cost them more of the votes they don’t have to spare....

Clymer... you took the words out of my mouth. I think I should start using Clymer as a euphemism for a dump, like was done with “Devlin” in the movie, Just Go With It.
Pardon me while I go take a Clymer.
Perfect!
Totally LOL....
“Big Time”......
When Trump is finally able to swing his turrets over and fire all barrels on Hillary, she’s going to an oil spot floating on the water.
Haven’t heard from Clymer in a while, lol.
No wonder why many freepers are led astray with you posting garbage like this 24/7
Hey I noticed that. Is he a Clymer or what?
The author dreams of Bishop RomneyCARE coming in on his
white horse and forcing everyone to marry their dogs,
if they are not on their car roofs.
As VP, fellow globalist Cruz will take time off from
dipping his wick everywhere, under orders of the
voices he hears, to encourage the Bishop to also
allow slave subjects of the GOP to also marry rats.
Could you provide us a link proving your allegations of Cruz’s infidelity? Thanks in advance.
the man whose name has become synonymous with a body orifice
Pretty sad when you are shilling huffpost
Hard to give any credibility to a writer whose name has become synonymous with “anal sphincter.”
The $500,000 payoff from Romney/Marriott to Cruz PAC
to Fiorino to play Cruz’s “wife”, as he hid behind
her panties, is enough for most.\
Coupled with Liar Cruz’s vote for ObamaTRADE and his
endless lies, his ‘infidelity’ includes his
saliently unconservative behavior.
Translation: You don’t have any.
