Bitter #Nevertrumpers: #Getoverit

Let the braying begin: The Donald is now the
Republican candidate for President. The bitterness
among the #NeverTrump crowd following the
suspensions of Sen. Ted Cruz’s and John Kasich’s
presidential campaigns has hit epic levels. Some
even call it #Trumpacolypse. While Trump has
unabashedly defied every rule in the Little Black
Book of Political Consultancy, his worst offense is
that he won the nomination without the DC
Consultancy class.
Many in the Consultancy Class are even threatening
to vote for Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump.
I don’t get Republicans who persist in political
fratricide, opting for eight years of Hillary’s
nasty brand of Socialism, instead of the
Republican who is not your choice.
It is time to get over your righteousness. The
people have spoken and it’s about time you listen.
“When we nominated people over the past several
election cycles, some of us had heartburn, but we
stepped up and supported the nominee,” Mike Huckabee
said in a Mediaite article, and told any Republicans
not backing Trump to leave the party. “This isn’t
Burger King,” he said. “This is an election. And you
don’t get it all the time just like you want it.
You’re either on the team, or you’re not on the
team.”
Donald Trump just won the Republican nomination for
president by spending very little of his own money,
hiring only three staffers and no pollsters, and
buying almost no media. But he did it by being the
anti-politician – by saying what he means in his
“You’re Fired” style, giving fits to the PC-DC
clique.
Most importantly, he says what’s on the minds of
millions of voters who are sick and tired of being
ignored by the elite political consultant class.
Despite being told he was wrong, or being called a
misogynist, a racist, a hater, or telling him he
couldn’t say that, Trump kept on.
“I always hoped I’d see this once before I died,”
Ann Coulter wrote. “It’s like to going to Mecca, for
Americans. Pay attention, because it’s the last time
we’re going to see it in our lifetimes.”
Rockefeller Republicans
Any Republican who claims to care about the future
of the country will not vote for Hillary Clinton.
And those who do cast a Clinton vote are exposing
their more mercenary motives (payola). Most who’ve
been paid over the years for running campaigns and
political consulting, have run the gamut within the
Party structure: Rockefeller to Reagan – although
they’ll all tell you they are Reagan Republicans.
What they are really mad about is that Trump is not
one of them… he didn’t hire one of them… he rebuffed
them and ran his own campaign. And won.
Being PC-DC
Sacramento Political Consultant Doug Elmets, worked
in the Reagan White House and is ostensibly a
Republican. Elmets is organizing Republicans for
Clinton.
Self-aggrandizement is Doug Elmets’ business. He
believes in promoting Doug Elmets, and long ago
disregarded Reagan Republican values. But
Elmets knows how to make the news.
And add to that list everyone at National Review
Online, Political Consultant and California
#nevertrumpchairman Rob Stutzman, Erick Erickson,
David French, Jonah Goldberg, former RNC
communications director Doug Heye, Ben Howe, former
RNC chairman Ken Mehlman, GOP consultant and former
Hill columnist Cheri Jacobus, and who could forget
Mitt Romney’s top 2012 strategist Stu Stevens?
If Trump put them all on retainer and had them do
nothing, they’d support Trump. But because he
didn’t need them, they can’t stand him. Stu
Stevens (who declared on CNN in October that Trump
would be out of the race before the Iowa caucuses in
February) and his ilk aren’t relevant anymore, and
neither are the so-called “arbiters” of conservative
opinion. And they can’t stand it. That’s
why “hip” intellectual wannabes like Kevin
Williamson at NRO throw tantrums about “ignorant
Trump voters,” who had the temerity to vote based on
their own individual judgment rather than listen to
the brain trust at NRO.
So long fellas. Now that you’ve made yourselves
irrelevant, enjoy your lives in political purgatory.
Who gave NRO chief Rich Lowry and his pathological
anti-Trump crew the authority to speak for all
Reagan conservatives? Ed Rollins, Reagan’s top
political advisor, just signed on to head Trump’s
Super PAC. Ed Rollins has more Reagan creds
than the entire knucklehead NRO crew combined.
#GetOverIt
In 1992 at the Republican convention, Presidential
candidate Pat Buchanan urged his supporters to rally
behind George H.W. Bush, the Republican nominee.
“This war is for the soul of America, Buchanan
warned. “And in that struggle for the soul of
America, Clinton & Clinton are on the other side,
and George Bush is on our side. And so, to the
Buchanan Brigades out there, we have to come home
and stand beside George Bush.”
On the Laura Ingraham radio show this past week,
Buchanan advised the avowed #NeverTrump crowd to
come around and support Donald Trump in the “overall
interest of conservatism.”
“Whatever your view of what [conservatism] is, it
certainly is not Hillary Rodham Clinton as President
of the United States,” Buchanan said.
Ingraham pointed out that during his campaign, Sen.
Ted Cruz was reluctant to reveal whether or not he
would support Donald Trump, if he became the
Republican nominee. “If you want a future in the
Republican Party, I think you have to endorse its
nominee and you have to vote for its nominee,”
Buchanan said.
For people to insist they will never vote for Trump,
is to allow this country to cede further into
Socialism. No U.S. election hosts religious
candidates; this election is about Capitalism vs.
Socialism, and every one of the recent Republican
candidates would have been on the Capitalism side.
We should be grateful instead to Trump who is a
wildly successful businessman and Capitalist; he
knows more about business, trade, markets, sales,
compromises, deals, finance, and economics than the
entire political consultancy class combined.
Statement TK — Harmeet Kaur Dhillon: “I have never
seen so much weeping and drama coming from grown men
as I have in the past week. It’s not attractive,
guys! Get a hold of yourselves! The sky will not
fall just because your candidate is no longer in the
race, and your choices are imperfect. That’s life.
And especially, that’s politics. When I look at who
in the party is refusing to support the nominee, yet
was happy to support tax increases, fail to stand up
to Obama, supported many prior failed nominees, and
fail to demonstrate leadership on anything, I’m
stunned by the hypocrisy. But you won’t see me
crying about it. That’s politics, too.”
In one of his last public speeches at CPAC in
February 2012, Andrew called for unity in taking on
the left. This speech could have been delivered
today to the #NeverTrump movement.
You want a unity speech, I’ll give you a unity
speech. I don’t care who our candidate is and I
haven’t since the beginning of this. I haven’t. Ask
not what a candidate can do for you, ask what you
can do for the candidate. And that’s what the Tea
Party is. We are there to confront them on behalf of
our candidate. I will march behind whoever our
candidate it because if we don’t we lose. There are
two paths. There are two paths. One is America and
the other one is occupy… And when I walk through
CPAC or when I travel the United States to meet
people in the Tea Party who care, black, white, gay
and straight. Anyone who is willing to stand next to
me to fight the progressive left, I will be in that
bunker. And if you’re not in that bunker because
you’re not satisfied with this candidate – more than
‘Shame on you’ You’re on the other side.
