The GOP Is Full-On Chernobyling

SOCIAL LIBERALS, “NEOCONSERVATIVES” SAY THEY WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON OVER DONALD TRUMP “We are on the verge of a real meltdown in the Republican party,” radio host Hugh Hewitt declared this week. On the verge? News flash, man. “Republicans” are already there.  The populist insurgency of billionaire businessman Donald Trump…

SOCIAL LIBERALS, “NEOCONSERVATIVES” SAY THEY WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON OVER DONALD TRUMP

“We are on the verge of a real meltdown in the Republican party,” radio host Hugh Hewitt declared this week.

On the verge?

News flash, man. “Republicans” are already there.  The populist insurgency of billionaire businessman Donald Trump has thrown the GOP into full-on Chernobyl mode.

Things have gotten so crazy, some establishment “Republicans” are dropping all pretense and letting their true colors bleed through … like former New Jersey governor Christine Whitman, who has previously compared Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

According to Whitman, the GOP unity pledge – which Trump was forced to sign – apparently doesn’t extend to “The Donald.”  Meaning if he gets the nomination, she will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

“You’ll see a lot of Republicans do that,” Whitman told NJ.com. “We don’t want to. But I know I won’t vote for Trump.”

Wow …

Socially liberal “Republicans” like Whitman aren’t the only ones making a beeline for the Clinton bandwagon.  So-called “neoconservatives” – a.k.a. those who believe in perpetual warmongering – are also rallying behind her candidacy.

(Hmmm … wonder why).

If Trump is the GOP nominee, neoconservative intellectual Robert Kagan wrote this week that “the only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

He also referred to Trump as a “Frankenstein monster.”

Meanwhile Max Boot – a hardcore supporter of the failed Iraq War – wrote this week that “a Trump presidency would represent the death knell of America as a great power.”  Really?  Apparently he thinks the $4-6 trillion taxpayers spent over the last decade-and-a-half on a failed occupation of the Middle East was a great investment.

All over social media, so-called “conservatives” who have marched in lockstep with the GOP’s appeasement of Barack Obama are now sporting the #NeverTrump hashtag – indicating they will not support Trump if he defeats establishment “Republican” favorite Marco Rubio.

And again … they wonder why we say there’s “no difference” between these two establishment parties?

Frankly, we love the chaos.  The deep fractures in both establishment parties are a long time coming … and will hopefully be useful in shredding existing political labels that have become effectively meaningless.

We need an outcome-based system … not one based on self-applied labels.  And maybe this will bring us closer to such a system.

In the meantime, it’s just funny to see a bunch of “Republicans” who months ago were demonizing Clinton and bragging about their ability to defeat her now openly supporting her over Trump.

Clearly party loyalty is only for those “in the party.”

I will start with just one. Free Trade is freedom to sell by and sell without big government interference or taxing it in the form of tarriffs.

Only big government liberals would interfer. Only crony capitalist would want protection from competition. That protection will only make American business weaker. First it helps, but eventually it becomes an addiction.

The major industries in SC export most of their products. Boeing, BMW, GE and numerous tire companies.

True conservatives believe in less government, not more.

There are now many disgruntled Republicans and Moderates trying to deal with the perceived inevitability of a Donald Trump candidacy for the Republican nomination and run for the Presidency.
They don’t understand that many of the average people are fed up with the traditional Democrat and Republican candidates for the Presidency. They saw eight years of Bush and then eight of Obama while the economy stalled, their incomes plateaued, business’ fled this country in record numbers for foreign shores, the status, power, and influence of the US lessened, and the hopes that their children would have more opportunity and have a better life and a better chance to prosper than they had.
Most everyday folks don’t get hung up on some pie-in-the-sky political philosophy. They are just concerned with the economic, social, everyday issues that will make this a better country for them and their children.
It ain’t nothing more than many people waking up and realizing that things in the last fifteen years have not been good, and will continue to get worse for them and their children if they don’t do something.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “America is no longer that shining light on the hill.”

In all fairness the middle class has not seen their incomes go up after inflation since 1980, except for a few years under Clinton. I agree with you they are angry, but they should not blame it on Bush and Obama. Its just how trickle down works or more specifically does not work. If he wins Maybe Trump will abandon trickle down. If he does, who knows where he can go. If he does not, it will be 4 to 8 more year of stagnation.

What a monumentally stupid statement.

The Federal government by policy debases the currency year after year, targeting 2% specifically and you claim that the reason middle class incomes haven’t gone up is because of “trickle down” policy?

You are an economic ignoramus.

Trickle down on you, Reagan created the largest debt since WWII. Reaganomics II created the new biggest deficit plus a bonus failure, the Great Republican Recession. Clinton raised taxes, Republican’s, always wrong about economics, said to a man it would wreck the economy. Result booming economy and a balanced budget handed to Jr. Bush. Then of course, as pointed out before, we had the Republican Bush economic disaster, economic collapse.

The NASCAR CEO endorses Trump-
“I’ve known Donald for over 20 years,” France said at a rally in Valdosta, Ga. “I’m going to tell you one thing: you know about his winning and success. He wins with his family. Any of his children, you’d be proud to have in your family. That’s how I judge a winner.”

His family – with which wife? 3 wives makes a winner? I’d say the children’s success have more to do with their mothers & wealth, than anything hands on Donald’s done. Example this little gem that Trump had to say about having another baby with Mrs Trump #3. “‘Cause I like kids. I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park,” he told Stern.

This is what can happen, unexpectedly. For the unknowing and history deniers, Google “Southern Strategy”.

They were remarkably successful, they turned the solid Democrat (Dixiecrat) South, Republican. Now their crazy recruits have become the Republican majority. The inmates have taken over the asylum.
