Agree. although I don't lump Ted Cruz with the “Never Trump” crowd.

Did you miss his speech at the RNC? And then the next day when he doubled down and said he could not support "someone who insulted his family"? Cruz is as Never-Trump as they come.

Hilarious!

I can see why the professional GOP class hates Trump - he didn’t need them to win the primaries and he will win the general election without having to line their pockets.

After all, he shown he’s smarter than them and they know they’ll be rendered irrelevant after he’s sworn in and they can’t stand being made fools of.

No wonder they prefer Hillary.

They are “the enemy within”. I am so thankful DT has smoked them out and revealed these “Republicans” for who and what they really are and stand for.

Yup, there is a paper and electron trail. It's not enough to have "smoked them out".

The Clinton campaign's wobbly performance over the past 72 hours has set off a rash of behind-the-scenes handwringing among professional Republicans as they confront an unnerving new possibility: What if their nominee actually wins the White House?

I have never in my life seen what I (used to) call 'my own party' openly work against my party's candidate.

This is the most revealing election in American history.

I’m just wondering which one of these “professional Republicans” took time to tell this to Buzzfeed.

According to the article, several of them did, but did so anonymously.

....said one GOP consultant, who like others spoke to BuzzFeed News on condition of anonymity

Let me guess: its Mike Murphy who was anonymously interviewed for this anti-Trump hit piece.

Spent over $150 million trying to get Jeb the GOP nomination and spectacularly failed.

And bad-mouthing Trump is his revenge. Got it.

GOP consultant.

HULLLOOOO MIKE MURPHY, IS THAT YOUUUUU?

Thought so. You POS - you’re too much of a coward to say it openly to Trump’s face so you slink about in the dark corners talking trash about him.

GOP professionals have proven themselves dispensable as a class. They’re corrupt leeches feeding off our party.

Good riddance.

they argue that a Trump presidency would fracture their party, decimate the conservative movement, and wreak havoc on the global economy

Are there really people in Republican politics that are that stupid? I mean to really believe anything so contrary to experience & common sense?

Consider. Why would a popular figure, who has drawn tens of millions of relative newcomers to his movement, who are now becoming both aware of and personally involved in the Conservative movement, "decimate," the Conservative movement? The only people who would imagine that, simply do not themselves understand American Conservatism. They, the hand wringers, are the threat to American Conservatism.

As for the Global economy? What sort of a moron does not realize the incredible benefit to the World economy, when an unfettered, proud and optimistic America, was last allowed by her leaders to really compete in the world economy? Nothing would be more beneficial to the world, than an America returning to her ancestral values.

We do not need the hand-wringers; the politically correct apologists for the America that was; the America that God willing will emerge again, after November 8th.

Who We Are.

Damn the Lies! Damn the liars! For Trump & the America won in the Revolution: Full speed ahead!

Once, I read it was Republican consultant, I realized its not elected GOP officials trying to undermine Trump.

Now we know the enemy within. These people couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag much less than to help a candidate win an election.

They’re enraged at Trump because he’s not enlisting them to win the November election. Sucks to be them.

We’ve suffered through 8 years of obama’s ‘Fundamental Change’ in America. It’s now time for Trump’s ‘Fundamental Change’ of the GOP!

......from Abe Lincoln to George W. Bush there have been 18 Republican Presidents.

I’m quite certain that in the months running up to the election of each of these 18 people that NONE scored 100% support of their party members.

Old Abe was particularly reviled by Democrats AND Republicans.

And some think, myself included, that this country in 2016 is polarized every bit as much as it was in 1860.

So, bottom line there have been Never Lincolns and Never Coolidge and Never Eisehowers just like Never Trumps. MSM is just Pimping this Never Trump bs this year because it helps divide and defeat Trump, they THINK.

I, very sadly, must agree with your post #53. Donald Trump can be acerbic; but if you actually consider what he said about Cruz, and what Cruz and those close to him said about Trump, and the timing of all such; Cruz was less forgivable, even before Indiana broke his campaign. His pouting display since, has hardly given any clue of redemption.

He is a talented man. Most of us thought him sincere, until early 2016. But his total conduct over the past six months has been absolutely indefensible. His refusal to get on board for one of the three or four most Conservative Presidential candidates in the last 100 years; shows that he clearly puts personal pique ahead of what he has claimed to believe in, throughout his previous political life.

Limbaugh is discussing this article a little in between iPhone 7 and iOS 10 stories.

He spent maybe 40 seconds on iOS 10 a little more time on that than he did his cigar.
