Brooks is an idiot.  Build "A Republican Party in Exile?"  When the guy you don't like will be out of the picture in 3 months anyway?

I have no quarrel with Republicans who don't like Trump, and won't vote for him.  I'm still going to because I think a "herstory" of stupid/malevolent actions (Hillary) outweigh stupid/malevolent words (Trump), but I certainly understand those who won't/can't vote for him.  So if you don't want to vote for him, don't.

But these people who go the extra mile, and talk about leaving/destroying the party because of this one horrible nominee are off their rockers.  Either that, or they are affirmatively complicit with the Democrats and actually lean left.  In the case of Brooks, it's pretty obvious that he likely voted for Obama in 2008, and was apparently suffering leg-tingles similar to Chris Matthews'.  I don't know why any conservatives would take this guy's advice knowing where he leans.

...

A "government in exile" is set up temporarily, until it can be restored. It's not "destroying" anything.

You're inaccurately slurring the idea of a party in exile.

The entire idea makes no sense.  We already have the RNC, all the state organizations, and all the campaign organizations of the thousands of other Republicans running for office throughout the country.  Why in the world do we need to set up a parallel organization "in exile"?  Not only is that wildly impossible at this point, but it's pointless as well.

If what Brooks really means is that we need to have a "non-Trump controlled" organization, we've already got one.

Unnamed "staffers" say just about whatever the news media want to say they said. I'd take this report with a grain of salt, no matter what I may think of the Trump campaign.
As much as I'd like to believe it yep, this is the usually media garbage they throw at every Republican. People have been saying the Trump campaign was done from day 1 and its still here. Trump's campaign is about as popular and hard to beat as toenail fungus. I think it's finally of the rails and bouncing along the sleepers, but the big fire ball, the real explosion has yet to come.

When these *un-named* staffers put their names on these articles maybe I'll believe all these stories...right now I look at them as Clinton campaign dirty tricks using the media to do their dirty work for them......

Have you all forgotten how the Clinton's work!

If the campaign were showing any success at all, then your point would be worth further discovery.  However, it is clear that this campaign is in deep trouble, mainly because of the one at the top of the ticket.  It has been unforced error after unforced error after unforced error that has caused his poll numbers to plummet.  This campaign clearly is not for prime time.

FWIW - not a DJT press release but by a donor. Still pretty funny.

Most likely impossible and pointless. In a full-blown tyranny with fully corrupted institutions (which is what we now have), no possible threats to the oligarchy or it's power will be permitted to organize, take shape and grow to threaten the Beast they empower and feed with your wealth and posterity.

It also means the idea that a corrupted party and institution can be saved and redeemed from working within it is beyond stupid.

Liberal Statism has metastasized inside the GOP to every vital organ, the bone structure and their brain.  There is no saving that patient.

Let it die.

The big mistake everyone is making right now is saying that the Trump campaign is imploding. The fact is that it was always a disaster but because of the mess that the Primary was, no one ever noticed.

It might be workable on a state by state primary, but even then the problems were glaring because he built no organization and nobody showed up at the state conventions

I wonder if Paul Manafort got his payment in advance?

Donald has a lot in common with ex president for life Idi Amin Dada Oumee who ruled directly, shunning the delegation of power. He was noted for his abrupt changes of mood, from buffoonery to shrewdness, from gentleness to tyranny. He was often extreme in his nationalism.

It is interesting that while trump Card's campaign manager is named Manafort, which implies watching house in another's absence, the Dawg's campaign manager is named Robby Mook.
Robby:"A fun-loving, witty, intelligent individual with a great sense of humor - whom women love (from urban dictionary).
Mook: a foolish or contemptible person. Coined in the Scorsese film Mean Streets.

It was just the orange a$$hoIe to start, but orange ignorance has infected the party.  So, I left.  If the party entirely extirpates the venomous, poisonous sickness that is orange a$$hoIeism , entirely repudiating its bout with orange fascism, and re-embraces conservatism, then I will join the party again.

Until then, the cultists can have it.

That's not what Brooks is talking about.  But if that's how you feel, then it is still a dumb move to create a temporary party "in exile." You'd just quit the GOP and join another one permanently.

Early on in the primaries, I knew he was insane.  I am waiting for others to "notice" it, accept it, and keep him from becoming president.  Today, he said Clinton is "unstable and unbalanced".  He said that due to hearing people think he is unstable and unbalanced.   Right now CNN is talking about Trump's mental state.  They say Trump is fighting back after attacks on his mental state. 

CNN is awaiting Trump's rally in Green Bay to start.  He is supposed to endorse Ryan. Big deal - not.
