Neoconservative figure and “Commentary” editor John Podhoretz admitted Sunday that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.
“It’s not over yet, John” insisted Roger Kimball in the comments section to Podhoretz’s post.
“Oh yes it is” Podhoretz replied.
“I’d rather die,” Podhoretz said when asked if he would do an interview with Breitbart News about Trump’s apparent inevitability. “Don’t work there,” Podhoretz advised this reporter on Facebook, referring to Breitbart News. “You want to be treated without contempt? Work somewhere else.”
Podhoretz is the son of neoconservative icon Norman Podhoretz, and he writes op-eds for “The New York Post.”
Many neoconservatives have fought to little avail to prevent a Donald Trump nomination. “Weekly Standard” editor Bill Kristol recently tried and failed to get retired Marine Corps general James Mattis to run third party against Trump and Hillary Clinton. The Republican National Committee has condemned Kristol’s third-party plot as “helping to elect Hillary Clinton.”
In general, neoconservatives are economic conservatives and social liberals who say the U.S. should maintain an assertive foreign policy, including interventions in foreign wars.
Trump is currently leading the polls in Indiana, where the primary Tuesday might finally decide the outcome of his race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and John Kasich.

The Vast Left Wing Neocon Conspiracy is being revealed. Ever wonder why Trump has been getting all the free airtime?
It's because of the false flag attack of the controlled opposition. Trump is Karl Rove's boy, aka Trump's Brain.
The end result: President Hillary Rotten Clinton

I can't believe that.
Rove and his super pac pretty much own reince priebus.

The whole fairy tale about "the establishment" being against Trump is just a ploy to get a real Republican bushbot nominated, to ensure a Dem victory.
Reince Priebus and the gang are happiest when they have a dem prez to bash. The eight years of trying to defend W, was hell for them. Bashing Hillary will be like a walk in the park. Ditto for el Rushbo, Fox News and the rest of the MSM. Sponsors will flock in for easy listening Hillary bashing.
Losing is a goldmine business model, the donations just keep rolling in to the RNC.
