‘I’d rather attend the public hanging of a good friend’: GOP insiders unload on Trump convention

Republican politicians and operatives are avoiding the convention like the plague. In interviews with Politico, many operatives describe their fear and loathing of next week’s convention in hilariously blunt terms.

“I would rather attend the public hanging of a good friend,” GOP digital strategist Will Ritter tells the publication.

“Normally, we’re all jazzed up about getting together and celebrating our nominee,” said GOP pollster Chris Perkins. “There’s nothing to celebrate this cycle. I’m going because I have to, not because I want to.”

“Don’t use my name,” he said. “I don’t want anyone to know I’m there.”

GOP operatives dread Trump convention

“I don’t want anything close to the appearance of supporting Trump,” said Jason Roe, a veteran party strategist. “This ship can sink without me as a passenger.”

And as far as speakers at the convention?

George Washington, who died 217 years ago of acute laryngitis, will be the first speaker at this year’s Republican National Convention. And as of right now, dead former President George Washington is also the only speaker, according to the official RNC app.

Everyone is celebrating the GOP'ers running away and hiding after we kicked their asses.....it great to see!!

Paul Ryan might speak. But so far, it's not scheduled. Only George Washington.

Piss on the Never Trumpers.

"And so I believe that this party is going to be unified, we're going to have a great convention and folks are going to be onboard. Now we're only talking about a few people. We're not talking about the vast majority of Republicans in this country.

We had more Republicans vote in this election (primary) than any election in the history of our party.

Trump won more votes than anyone in the history of our party. We had an increase of almost 70% in turnout. The Democrats had a decrease in turnout.

So I think we also have to look at the positives which is for the most part we're breaking records when it comes to Republicans participating."

George Washington? It's too bad ex-mayor Ralph Perk isn't alive to kick things off by setting his hair on fire as he did at one ribbon cutting ceremony.

Business will be way down for the hookers this year. The GOP convention is always one of their biggest moneymakers, with hookers flying in from across the country.

The DCN gets theirs from the Black Lives Matter activist human traffickers. Course since one got arrested last month they may have to pay a lot more this year.

Paul Ryan has to be there as the House speaker. I am certain he would rather not.

But so many others won't be there. All the Bush's--Mitt Romney--many GOP Senators and House members will not show up, and they've been fairly vocal about it too. Anyone seeking reelection this year definitely won't show up.

This is the Republican National Convention, and as is the Democrat National Convention--it is paid for by the parties themselves.

Lol you republicans did it to yourselves by allowing Obama yo walk all over you for 7+ years. You do-nothing, shoulder-shrugging boneheads deserve to go down in flames. And Trump is just the man to strike the match. I wouldn't show my face at the rnc if had the do-nothing records you clowns have, either.

You don't seem to get that you Tea baggers--anti Establishment groupies are the minority of the Republican Party.

Right now half of the Republican party won't cast a vote for Donald Trump.

That one stands out. Unlike Ron Reagan, Jr., Michael Reagan is a full-blown wingnut.

Trump has already lost

Hillary Clinton is going into this race with a 6 to 10 point advantage as the 1st woman Presidential nominee in 240 years. Women are the majority voting block in this country and they will be voting heavily for her.

Trump has an unfavorable rating with women at 73%. Half of Republican women will not cast a vote for Trump, along with millions of Republican men that will not support nor vote for Donald Trump.

17% of the population, or 23 million Hispanics are now solidly in Hillary Clinton's column. This when the GOP nominee, since Reagan needed at least 40% of this block to win the White House, Trump is polling at a negative 80%.
