Why the GOP Civil War Will Continue

David Frum: “Unless their guy loses to Hillary Clinton in a 2008 style deluge, Trump backers will be much more likely to blame traitors inside the party for his defeat than their own bad judgment in supporting him…”

“Meanwhile, anti-Trump conservatives will be thrust back into exactly the position they held from 2013 to 2015: exponents of an ideology that does not command majority assent even within the Republican coalition, never mind the country as a whole.”

...that would do Stalin proud. Then I hope the GOP convenes a circular firing squad equipped by the NRA.

I want the Trump brand not only damaged but obliterated. Done. Finito.

He has set the bar for what type of animal they want to follow. CHUMP is the new Repuke template for them.
