Destroying Your Party's Frontrunner For Personal Gain Only Helps Your Opposition

[mudwhistle]

Last night's debate was a disgrace. It's clear that the only reason Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were making personal attacks on Donald Trump was because they want to be president so bad, they are willing to compromise their principles.

Mitt Romney is another example. Mitt's feelings were hurt, so he was willing to sacrifice his decency to get even for the sour grapes he's still tasting from his own failed campaign. I get the feeling that any outsider would receive this treatment, but when it comes to debates, this is what can be expected in every case. Not just this one. They want everyone to think they're earnest when they attack Trump, but to be clear, if it was Cruz, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Rubio, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Ben Carson, he would be accused of sexual-assault, knifing classmates, being a psychopath. That's just the way these people play the game.

Here's the danger. When you go through this mess, it peels off votes. Small groups of people who have core principles are peeled off and will not vote for the Republican nominee even if it means giving a shitforbrains scumbag like Obama the White House. Democrat voters aren't so principled. They are on record stating very clearly that they'll vote for a rapist if he's a Democrat. They have no core principles other than winning.

The only thing positive that can come from this is that Republicans are using every bit of opposition research Hillary has early, rather than later, and when the general election starts, she won't have anything new. It will be old news. Still, the risk of alienating large swaths of potential voters is high. Many people have said that they would rather let Hillary win than vote for Trump, because the public trashing of his reputation has reached lows that I personally cannot remember ever happening before. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It's clear that the establishment is in a panic. Ask Karl Rove about Trump and he turns into a red faced madman. Glenn Beck is just as bad. These people are really pissed that their hand-picked pushover isn't winning the hearts and minds of the public anymore.

Good.

We're tired of being told who to vote for and then losing our asses to dishonest and incompetent Democrats.
So if you want Amnesty, vote for the establishment guy _____________. And when Hillary brings up their flaws, and sweeps them in the election, you'll only have yourself to blame.

New World Order, Bilderburger, Globalist Shill.

This guy doesn't give a shit about America.

[Seawytch]

Folks like Romney and Rubio are trying to save the GOP from itself. I hope you guys don't let them.

 

[rightwinger]

I can't believe what has become of the Republican Party

These debates get huge ratings, a chance to shine and show America what Republican values are all about
Republicans are pushing that after eight years of Obama's leadership, they are the best option

And they give us THIS as an example of leadership?

Petty bickering, name calling , funny faces, bragging about penis size

Do they really want to win in November?

Yep, better to have the nomination process rigged before the first vote is cast.

I can understand the GOP leadership not trusting Trump and wanting to ensure a 'real' conservative is representing the party, but the measures they are taking, the depth and breadth of their attempts to ensure one of their own candidates does not win, is proof-positive that the Republican Party, led by the self/party-1st-servnig Washington Establishment career politicians have gone insane. Their efforts are coming across as an attempt to circumvent the will of the people in an ultimate way. Romney has completely destroyed any credibility he ever had as a 'man of the people' / NON-Washington Establishment individual, especially as he is joined now by the likes of John McCain. If there was EVER a time to abandon the GOP, allowing it to self-destruct and to build a new 2nd Major party that leaves these self-destructing, self-appointed Oligarchist rulers behind it is now.

So very true.

In 2012, the endless GOP debate schedule made life very easy for the Democratic strategy/consulting firms contracted to get Obama reelected.

Reince Priebus must be twisting in his chair while his attempts to manage the GOP message grows less likely to control every day.

I give the GOP too much credit when I toy with the idea that a larger strategy is at play. Maybe something like "drown out the DNC with white noise and chaos so nobody even thinks about Hillary and Bernie"? It's probably more like dealing with the ill fated reality of having Sarah Palin to minimize.

The election is the GOP's to lose, just like they did while trying to shield a house of cards from the wind in 2012, all the while belting out "Romney by a landlside"

Yes, the bitter primaries between Obama and Hillary in 08 killed his chances, I see what you're saying. The country is turning majority socialist, that's what's killing Republicans

There are many in the party who would rather lose than put that man in the White House. They think it's not only bad for their party, but for the country.

I remember Republicans saying they wouldn't vote for McCain & Romney and let Obama win because they weren't conservative enough.

This party really needs to calm down a bit and start thinking rationally before it's nothing more than regional.

Trump has this funny way of being totally frank to people who are incompetent. If he feels you aren't doing your job he tells you to your face, but by that time he's telling "You're Fired!!!"

So people don't like his frankness. I don't see him being obsene about it. That is simply a political tactic. Trump is bold and honest to a fault. But he is loyal and he expects loyalty. He's not the type to throw anyone under the bus like Obama or Hillary.

This is why support for him is so strong and uncompromising.

It's not just frankness. He will say anything, at any time, no matter how repugnant or childish or undignified.

He inferred he has a big dick in a nationally-televised, major party debate last night.

Does that concern you in any way?

[Nosmo King]

It's my distinct impression that Trump supporters are behind him based on attitude rather than ideology.

Those ideologues on the Right should be more than satisfied with Ted Cruz as their standard bearer. But Trump's attitude, his boorish, strutting, vulgar attitude seems to be the flame some Right Wing moths are drawn to. Trump's political ideology seems to be all over the map. If he did not present himself with such an overbearing, thuggish, brutal attitude, would the political firebrands who waved the banner of hard core Conservatism be attracted to him? They surely would have branded him a flip flopper and raced to Ted Cruz' side.

But it's attitude than brings them in. Are they really committed to a far Right political agenda, or die they seek an angry fighter no matter his policies?

Not really. He doesn't come off like Obama, who whines about Fox News at every opportunity, or blames Bush for everything bad that happened during his watch.

Trump is simply pointing out the outright hostility coming from people that are supposed to be looking out for America. Fux Noise is the worst offender, primarily because Rodgers Ailes has a hard-on for Trump due to prior business deals. The establishment has it in for him because they agreed to support him and instead are stabbing him in the back. The press keeps asking him about it and he keeps answering them.

Small groups of people who have core principles are peeled off and will not vote for the Republican nominee even if it means giving a shitforbrains scumbag like Obama the White House. Democrat voters aren't so principled. They are on record stating very clearly that they'll vote for a rapist if he's a Democrat. They have no core principles other than winning.

The only thing positive that can come from this is that Republicans are using every bit of opposition research Hillary has early, rather than later, and when the general election starts, she won't have anything new. It will be old news. Still, the risk of alienating large swaths of potential voters is high. Many people have said that they would rather let Hillary win than vote for Trump, because the public trashing of his reputation has reached lows that I personally cannot remember ever happening before. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It's clear that the establishment is in a panic. Ask Karl Rove about Trump and he turns into a red faced madman. Glenn Beck is just as bad. These people are really pissed that their hand-picked pushover isn't winning the hearts and minds of the public anymore.

Good.

We're tired of being told who to vote for and then losing our asses to dishonest and incompetent Democrats.
So if you want Amnesty, vote for the establishment guy _____________. And when Hillary brings up their flaws, and sweeps them in the election, you'll only have yourself to blame.

The butthurt is deep with this one

Butthurt?

He's leading by double-digits.

If anything you're butthurt, dude.

Last night's debate was a disgrace. It's clear that the only reason Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were making personal attacks on Donald Trump was because they want to be president so bad, they are willing to compromise their principles.

Mitt Romney is another example. Mitt's feelings were hurt, so he was willing to sacrifice his decency to get even for the sour grapes he's still tasting from his own failed campaign. I get the feeling that any outsider would receive this treatment, but when it comes to debates, this is what can be expected in every case. Not just this one. They want everyone to think they're earnest when they attack Trump, but to be clear, if it was Cruz, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Rubio, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Ben Carson, he would be accused of sexual-assault, knifing classmates, being a psychopath. That's just the way these people play the game.

There are many in the party who would rather lose than put that man in the White House. They think it's not only bad for their party, but for the country.

I remember Republicans saying they wouldn't vote for McCain & Romney and let Obama win because they weren't conservative enough.

This party really needs to calm down a bit and start thinking rationally before it's nothing more than regional.

The thing that makes him look like a four year old is his incessant whining about being insulted. Grow a pair, Nancy, or at least stop dishing it out if you don't like it. What a thumb sucking baby he is

Not really. He doesn't come off like Obama, who whines about Fox News at every opportunity, or blames Bush for everything bad that happened during his watch.

Trump is simply pointing out the outright hostility coming from people that are supposed to be looking out for America. Fux Noise is the worst offender, primarily because Rodgers Ailes has a hard-on for Trump due to prior business deals. The establishment has it in for him because they agreed to support him and instead are stabbing him in the back. The press keeps asking him about it and he keeps answering them.

I'm referring to his banter with other candidates, primarily Cruz and Rubio. He constantly personally insults them, then whines like a little bitch when they insult him back. They're meanies, wwwhhhaaaaaaaaa
