Trump's screwing of the conservative movement is unforgivable

[GHook93]

A candidate like Kasich or Rubio would have breezed passed a very vulnerable Clinton. Clinton is a train wreck, but lucky for her Trump is a bigger one. She should have been easy to beat, but Trump has given her an easy path to a absolute slaughter it won't be pretty. He will also take the senate with him. Honestly it should have been 53-47 in Nov. conservatives losing IL and WI and us winning NV. It would have been huge since 2018 is going to be Republican year for picking up senate seats. The House majority is going to be safe either way. But the pick loss will be the SCOTUS. They will have a 5 judge liberal bloc.


One man has caused this and it is unforgivable!

Yes, I noticed this too...and as a Liberal Democrat, I'm really happy with this situation. Donald Trump is the best political gift Hillary Clinton could have.

P.S. I forgive you Donald.

Kasich would have cruised nowhere......at least try to be honest.......Rubio might have had a chance...something tells me though he would pull a Romney and be another nice guy loser.

I find it funny how Trump has cleansed the "conservative" movement.

This movement has been sort of like a bowel movement. Now that it has cleared the GOP's bowels, the GOP is cleaned out and refreshed.

Nothing like a good RINO race to effect (implement) a great cleaning. Trump, Kasich, Christie -- these were all RINO's in action and they each did their part effecting (implementing) the cleansing.

Cruz, Rand Paul, Gingrich -- all these wacko "conservative" movements have now like bowel movements been cleansed and flushed out.

Cruz will be back in 2020 unfortunately. But he has been emasculated pretty much.

If this Conservative movement get's "cleansed" much more, there won't be much left of it.

That would be my hope as well.

They should have let it die back when Barry Goldwater was rejected by popular mandate back in 1964.

Goldwater is the author of it and the John Birch Society are the apostles and evangelists.

It should die. It is useless.

Rolling back the clock to pre FDR eras is not a worthy pursuit.

Do you mean he cleansed the "conservative" movement by abandoning decade old conservative principles? All you need to do is look at the dedicated conservatives that have turned their back on the Charlatan.

Take George Will, for instance. He is a dedicated conservative Pulitzer Prize winning writer who is no longer a member of the Republican Party because of your standard bearer. There are dozens of other who have done the same. HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE, His economic plan will balloon the federal deficit like no one before. You and the other cult members worshiping Comrade Trump are the biggest fools of this century.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Conservatives have only themselves to blame. You all spent decades trying to convince your base that everyone in the world is their enemy and that anyone they disagreed with is a RINO.

Trump is the culmination of Fox News, talk radio, and extreme republican rhetoric.

You really do not understand the movement, do you?

Trump won the nomination with a record number of votes simply because he is NOT a member of the conservative wing of the GOP nor the establishment that's gotten us into this current mess.

It is a sign of an uprising the political pundits simply do not understand. It goes for BOTH parties. People will go to the polls to vote for candidate from both parties who are not died-in-the-wool eternal holders of political seats - AT ALL LEVELS!

People got suckered by the Hope and Change barrage and are not going to let it happen to them again. Some of the old leatherback politicians better be sharpening their resumes for seeking new jobs in Jan 2017.

That's just wishful thinking, not backed up by any evidence.

Trump is only getting support from the old conservative base, and not as much as previous candidates have gotten. He hasn't drawn in new support from any other demographics. Quite the contrary, he's doing worse everywhere.

Perhaps the smartest one to have entered and come out of the race: The man earned himself a new home.

I suggest that Comrade Trump make reservations for the long vacation he is planning after he loses. He said he would take one. Time to make reservations.....Donnie Boy.

To me, the "conservative movement" is the GOP taking a big dump on the the middle class and the poor.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Anti-government radicals have destroyed the traditional conservative bases argument for the gop this election.

 

[JimH52]

I am not sure the GOP will ever be able to recover from the Trump candidacy. True Conservatism may be dead. Comrade Trump has so alienated such large segments of the voters that the Republican Party's hopes of winning national elections is nearly gone. I expect Texas to be Blue by 2020.

It is gone because of demographics. Hispanics will by nearly 20% of the population by 2020! Asians will of increased their share too.

Trump may have totally fucked the republican parties attempt at getting minority voters to vote for the party....Non-whites now make up near 35% of the country but will increase to 37-38% by 2020.


Educated whites are also sicken by the anti-education and common sense platform of the anti-govenrment tea party.

True, but it unfolded quick come the generals and losing that SCOTUS seat is going to stink for decades.

Texas will be more red in 2020.

No, guy. Trump is the end result of what you've been doing to yourselves for 40 years.

For 40 years, the conservative movement has been playing on the racial, sexual and religious fears to get white men to vote against their own economic interests.

And for 40 years, the rich have gotten their tax cuts, but abortion is still legal.

Trump is the frustration of anger that has been stoked made manifest.

The problem is, he really only appeals to that very small slice of the electorate. That's why he's going to lose.

Yet they picked a guy that least represents those values:
(1) He talked about raising taxes in the rich
(2) Not sure his stance on abortion, but he is definitely not pro-life
(3) He is not a religious zealot by any stretch of the imagination
(4) He publicly supports men going into the women's bathroom
(5) He talked about cutting the defense budget
(6) Talks against free trade and pro-tariffs


All he got right is illegal immigration, but his tactic only worked in the primary and alienated a key demo for the generals.
