The Washington Examiner, a widely read political media outlet, has now run an editorial article threatening any DC politician who supports Donald Trump. ~ READ HERE ~ An open letter to GOP politicians who might back Trump By Washington Examiner • 3/2/16 12:53 AM Share Tweet Mail Print More Chris Christie's Political Reputation is Dying Inform If you are an elected Republican officeholder, think long and hard before jumping on the Donald Trump bandwagon. It's a presidential election year. Naturally you're thinking of your political career. That's a given. You have principles, but you also measure the political winds. You care about your position within the Republican Party. You watch who is rising and who is falling. You might not admit it in public, but at times you imagine yourself as a future cabinet secretary or vice president, or even as a president someday. Thinking about those long term goals, you realize that reaching them is not simply about judging who is winning right now. It's about your character and judgment in knowing when a front runner is radioactive and could poison your career. More from the Washington Examiner Jobless claims rise to 278,000 By Joseph Lawler • 03/03/16 8:31 AM Donald Trump is not just another Republican candidate. His clear pandering to racist voters, his over-the-top sexism, his unapologetic vulgarity, and, perhaps more than anything else, his cynical lack of principle and substance now threaten to become defining features of the Republican Party. It is therefore partly up to you to decide how bad the damage will be, and how much it will afflict you personally. Trump's nomination is likely to cost the party more than just the Senate, some governorships and some state legislatures. It could set the Republican Party back years, perhaps decades. Trump is almost precisely what Democrats have long and slanderously depicted Republicans to be — an insouciant and rapacious billionaire bully, who cuts ethical corners to enrich himself without regard to the little people. His elevation to the presidential nominee would repudiate the Reagan Revolution that turned the GOP into a majority coalition 36 years ago. The party he leads would not be conservative. The toxicity of Trump would taint everyone who got near. Young voters, who already lean Democratic, would shun the Party of Lincoln. It could lose them for a generation. A party that was great in its origins and has been great in its achievements has every reason to be great in the future, too. But only if it chooses principled leadership. A huckster will not do. And then there are Hispanic voters, who in Texas at least have shown genuine interest and willingness to vote for GOP candidates. That too may not last. Also from the Washington Examiner Mitt Romney: Trump is 'a phony, a fraud' By Kelly Cohen • 03/03/16 7:17 AM In coming days, you will consider what will be best for your own future. And yes, you will think about endorsing Trump, as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did recently. Who knows, you might be offered something nice. But if you decide to fall into line and take your marching orders from Trump, you will lose respect (not least, your self-respect) and alienate millions of conservative Republicans. Look at Gov. Chris Christie, whose endorsement has transformed him from the tough-minded straight-talker, admired and widely regarded as a plausible national leader, and made him instead a forlorn and obsequious footman waiting in the front-runner's shadow to do his bidding. You will put your career at risk. And if Trump loses to Hillary Clinton, whether in a landslide, as current polls suggest, or at all, it will all have been for nothing. Half a dozen newspapers in New Jersey have now called on Christie to resign in disgrace. In his appearances with Trump, he looks like a man with no remaining dignity, like a prisoner giving a false confession in a North Korean propaganda film. He is now being brutally mocked, not only by conservatives, but in mainstream publications as well. That man could be you. But not if you refrain from causing your own political demise. Can you really back a man who, when asked to disavow the Ku Klux Klan, responded with hesitant political calculation rather than clear principle? Why would people ever trust your judgment again? The weak-kneed politicians in the establishment will be watching your example. Some of them, like Christie, are willing to serve a new master because they think they will get something in return. Christie won't, and you wouldn't either. The Washington Examiner (leadership team here) is part of the MediaDC Group who also own/operate The Weekly Standard outlet (Steven Hayes and Bill Kristol).

I think there are some editorial writers that are in need of an old fashioned There, now it's right. Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous.
Thee is a vast conspiracy of corrupt useless elitist assholes who are working to overthrow and negate the votes of the American people.
Yes there is. Better known as " Domestic Enemies " Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood A friend will help you move ,But a good friend will help you move a body..
I have been following politics for quite some time and I've never seen the naked viciousness that has been orchestrated against one candidate. By both sides. Mind you, this is directed against a candidate who is drawing huge crowds, is the Republican frontrunner, leads in the delegate count, has a positive and hopeful message backed by a concrete plan, and who is running against an opponent who will probably be indicted for compromising national security.
Yes, I am just as bewildered as you! I am really pissed at the Republican, self proclaimed conservative, side. This bunch of assholes have never, never been as vicious, or fought as hard against Obunghole, or any of the demonturds. They are always trying to get along, making compromises, helping, reaching across the isle, trying to not appear racist, not wanting to offend independents, etc, etc. They have given Obunghole everything he wants, actually more. They are all TRAITORS, AND SHOULD BE HORSEWHIPED, in public, tarred & feathered, then hung, and left to rot. The demonturds, are on their crusade against Trump. You think they want to help the Republicans? No, they want to derail Trump, because they are scared to death of him. They know that if he is the nominee, he will absolutely decimate shitlery, and once in office, he will destroy them. No more kiss ass & bend over. All the talk about a Brokered Convention, is a suicide pact among the establishment. I have already heard people saying that if Trump does not get the nomination, that we HAVE to support who ever the GOPe rams down our throats. They say we HAVE to, to save the party, and for the USSC nominations. F*k that. I have heard that line of sh*t before, and we did not get squat. If there is an election, and Trump is not the Rep Nominee, I will vote for 3rd party. If they really do have a "brokered convention", and give us another McStain, or Romney, then the meeting hall in Cleveland should be surrounded by about 20,000 highly pissed off Americans with torches, pitchforks, and rope, go in and drag the bastards off the stage, drag them outside, and ...... I could go on, but my BP is too high! What do you think? Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood A friend will help you move ,But a good friend will help you move a body..
Amen, brother. And I would add the Republic elites and former conservative talking heads -- people like Will, Krauthammer, Podhoretz, Erickson, Kelly, Lowry and the entire staff at the National Review.
I will be one of those 20,000. So now you know what I think.

blanket party horsewhipping!
