White House personnel official described Trump GOP nomination as 'end of the world'
Washington Examiner ^ | March 22, 2019

President Trump secured the Republican presidential nomination on May 3, 2016, when he crushed a final “Never Trump” effort to stop him in the Indiana primary.

At the GOP Data Trust, a voter outreach organization based in Washington, the mood was bleak. It was clear Trump was heading for a blowout victory.

When Trump had delivered his victory speech shortly after 9 p.m., Data Trust staffer Courtney Mullen invited her colleagues to attend an “end of the world” happy hour to mark Trump’s triumph, which the party establishment had watched in horror.

End of the world the way it was?

He may have been right.

Time will tell.

Did they do the same thing in 1980 when Reagan secured the nomination as opposed to GHWB or even Jerry Ford?

When Democrats lose, it’s a moral outrage, a calamity, a disturbance in the fabric of the space-time continuum.

When Democrats lose, it can only be because the Constitution is flawed, and must be amended, skirted, or done away with.

Yeah, AOC has already decreed we still have 12 years so let’s party for the next 11 1/2 years.

I don’t know...I read the article...are these people indeed “NeverTrumpers”?

When I saw the “End of The World Happy Hour” that sounds like something I would do to poke fun at Leftists.

Has anyone found things these people have said and done that shows they have been working against Trump and his administration?

Could this just have been a humorous thing blown out of proportion by the Media?

So why didn’t they all go dive off the nearest overpass after celebrating their “happy hour”?

I did see this in the article:

At 10:21 p.m., Mullen wrote to colleagues on the workplace chatting app Slack: “Heads up - the 'End of the World Happy Hour' has been added as an addition to the happy hour on Friday due to the nature of tonight's events and the inevitable truth that Trump will be our nominee.”

So perhaps not a humorous thing after all. I just have got to the point I don't accept anything the media says right off the bat.

Margarita Queen, Ocasio Cortez claims we have 12 years left. The left is always overreacting. Just a bunch of drama queens.

I would NEVER have a happy hour or attend one that wasn’t over something that made me happy.

I figured that’s why they call it the “happy hour”.

I would just say “i can’t believe hillary got elected, let’s go get destroyed”

i wouldn’t refer to any “happy hour”
