Point-by-point rebuttal of this stupid tripe by the desperate Trump militants who told us they did not need us to "win":
The election of Hillary Clinton would mean final defeat for American conservativism -- for at least a generation and almost certainly for much longer than that.
That was made inevitable by the mobs of self-identifying Republicans and Conservatives who cheered Trump as he completely and very personally destroyed every single Conservative in the race and applauding his endorsements of liberal Republicans running for Congress.
The demographic changes certain to flow from eight more years of open borders, general amnesty, and distribution of the newly arrived statist voters to electorally vulnerable states would make the Left’s presidential victory this fall, for all practical purposes, permanent.
That is already the case. Horse gone. Shutting the barn door is irrelevant at this point. Obama just celebrated the 50,000th Syrian "refugee" being dumped here in this country to the applause and acquiescence of the very party and people you morons are supporting as some kind of bulwark against Statists.
And that’s without considering the effect on the electorate of the increasingly intolerant and repressive educational and political environment, an environment that for eight more years would continue driving substantial segments of the populace, especially the vulnerable young, into the ever more mandatory belief systems of the Left.
That barn door has been propped open for 45 years with periodic assistance from the GOP to ensure it stayed open. So this point is just the typical fear mongering we have heard since Dole.
If Clinton prevails there will be no conservative (or Republican) president during the lifetime of any adult member of the feckless Republican royal families
You made that inevitable the moment you made Trump your prince. We are already at demographic parity with the third world socialists that the GOP enabled to squat here over the last 35 years in concert with the Democrats.
Despite the inarguable magnitude of the coming Clinton/Left disaster, Republican/conservative turncoats, led by these and other members of what Peggy Noonan aptly terms the “protected classes,” are working for Clinton’s election.
That bullshite no longer flies. Trump is working for Hildabeast's election. He's her Trojan Stalking Horse, and has been since he got in the race. His role was to wipe out Conservative viable opposition to Hillary. His personal unrelenting vehemence against Conservatives in this race has still unabated, while he hits Hillary with kid gloves and says he is "bored" with having to attack her.
Never before in American history have intellectual and political leaders of a major party deliberately attempted to open the gates of enduring power to an enemy sworn to their eradication.
The Republican party leadership, especially in the Senate did a fine job of just that for the benefit of Obama and the Democrats.
I’m absolutely certain what they think: “We’ll do fine under Clinton and the Left...”
Proof you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to principled Conservatives not in the beltway. None of us think that.
This is clear: Trump’s defeat, if it occurs, will be the work of the NeverTrumps.
No. Wrong. Trump's 'defeat' was engineered the moment the frenzied mobs made the NY Liberal their prince. Trump was never in it to 'win'. He was in it to gain notoriety, start his own network and clear any opposition to Hillary. In this, he succeeded beyond what they even envisioned.
The margin by which Trump now trails in national and battle ground polls is almost exactly equal to that small but significant segment of the Republican and conservative voter base -- some 20 - 25% -- that’s still following the NeverTrumps off the cliff.
You and your boy said you did not need us to 'win'. So pound sand. We warned you. Instead you continue to insult, ridicule, castigate and attempt to shame - driving us further into activism against your prince.
So, if Trump falls, the NeverTrumps will be grinning beside the body -- like Brutus perhaps a bit nervously -- bloody knives in hand.
We don't want a Caesar. We will not support a NY Liberal Fascist who promises punishments, has policies to the Left of Hillary Clinton and has an amazing record of sowing discord and division to be our eternal ruler.
Perhaps more pertinently, where will they hide? Questions for a different essay.
Where will we hide? From what? Roving bands of angry Trump Militants calling for our heads for treason? That I expect given what your compatriots are promising.
Victory by the execrable Clinton and the Left is still avoidable, but only if the usually overwhelming percentages of conservatives and Republicans unite behind their Party’s candidate.
Never going to happen. So pound sand. Your party is dead. It's just the big government Socialism side of the Democrat Marxist/Communists.
The Republican and conservative voter base has got to be persuaded to ignore the suicidal advice of their failed former leaders…
Obviously since Trump has failed to accomplish that himself - all you people got left is intimidation, fear-mongering and attempted public shaming to "persuade" Conservatives to abandon principle to vote for a cult of personality. A failed proposition at best. You are better off appealing to Bernie Supporters. Trump is closer to them ideologically.
But if 20-25%% of the Republican core continues to follow the wrist slitting advice of the Never Trump crowd, the Left once again will be victorious
The GOP made that inevitable when it ceded all opposition to Obama and the Demcrats, went to war on Conservatives in their party to push Establishment Liberals (Thad Cochran anyone?) and when it made Trump their nominee. 20-25% of the Conservative Base has left the modern Whig party, because we were told repeatedly and ad nauseum we were not wanted, needed and should be 'punched in the nose', told to sit down and shut up.
America thereafter would be permanently transformed into a new nation, molded by the Left’s dystopian dreams of multiculturalism, racial and ethnic balkanization, boiling hatred of black for white, open borders, and a government suffocated economy, a new nation whose populace would be increasingly beaten down by the dictates of governmentally mandated orthodoxies.
Already an institutionalized fact that the GOP helped cement into permanency in concert with the Left. It is already permanently fundamentally transformed.
Here -- of singular importance for any future chance of conservative governance in America -- is what we know is coming from Clinton and the Left:
Intensification of the Democratic Party-sponsored third world invasion of the country.
Yawn. The GOP wants the same damned thing. They have already sponsored it, endorsed it, funded it and deliberately looked the other way at Obama's deliberate lawlessness on this issue. So spare us the fear-mongering.
And if Clinton’s amnesty runs into Congressional opposition and she resorts to unconstitutional executive orders, this time there’ll be no help from the Supreme Court.
Show us one UnConstitutional EO the GOP legitimately attempted to stop, hold to account or defund as they had power to do?
The US Supreme Court will become a five vote rubber stamp for the Left immediately upon Clinton’s appointment of Justice Scalia’s replacement. That majority will be sustained or enlarged by whatever further vacancies come Clinton’s way.
Irrelevant. The GOP already rubber-stamped most of Obama's judicial appointments. I do not believe Trump will appoint Originalists despite his claims.
Much more likely, what they’ve focused on is what’s always been their main concern: continued politically useless but personally remunerative occupation of the places of party power.
We do not care a whit about your party. It needs to die.
Over the last 25 years, neither the intellectuals nor the Party leaders of the NeverTrump crowd has prevented, or even slowed, the Left’s march through our cultural institutions.
Nominating a NY Liberal Democrat who supported the Leftist march through our institutions isn't exactly going to stem that tide either.
One last fatal give-away from the crowd that’s already failed so grandly. I submit that Ronald Reagan, America’s most successful conservative president, and William Buckley, America’s most effective conservative intellectual, would be appalled by this selfish, self-destructive claque of clueless politicians and confused scribblers who are trying to lead America into the arms of the Left.
I do not see Reagan or Buckley supporting a known NY Liberal Democrat for the standard bearer of the Conservative movement.
It should be evident by now that the determined suicides within Republican Party and conservative leadership ranks can’t be reached by reason. This is the time to simply ignore them. Doing so now will be good practice for the future.
But that's the thing. You people DON'T IGNORE US. You continue to insult, ridicule, attempt to shame and go to war on those of us your own nominee said he did not want the support of. You just said above you cannot win without the 20-25% of us who have bolted your dead party and will not vote for your liberal candidate.
We prefer you ignore us. But you won't - because you have already blamed us for your titanic loss upcoming.
As for the rest of us, we can only work to ensure that, in the end, the overwhelming majority of America’s conservatives and Republicans are guided by what their greatest leaders would have done in these circumstances, and not by the willfully destructive, self-interested counsel of the snobs who are trying to hand America to the Left.
Well you go ahead and continue to pander to Bernie supporters and other liberals to genuflect your prince. Those of us governed by principles are not interested in voting for your nominee and will never do so.
We expect you will continue to war on our principles then and ridicule them the same as the Left does.
