There’s a great article over at Alternet, on how conservative elites view Donald Trump and the Trump take-over of the Republican party (link: http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/7-astounding-confessions-conservatives-about-dismal-state-gop-and-likely-nominee-trump). The bottom line: they are not happy.
Here are some of the highlights:
From a National Review staff writer: “Now is the time to throw everything at Trump, and to stop this disaster in its tracks.” The same writer continues: “They [Rubio and/or Cruz] must explain that Trump is an entitled mess whose business record is so questionable that he managed to bankrupt a casino;…..that he is feigning religiosity to appeal to people he believes are rubes;...”
From a writer at The Federalist: “….everything he says is either an outright lie, or something he is merely saying because it is convenient…..“I don’t think that Trump can win, frankly, because I don’t think there are enough morons to elect him.”
From a Wahington Post editorial: “This is a front-runner with no credible agenda and no suitable experience,…..He would round up and deport 11 million people, a forced movement on a scale not attempted since Stalin or perhaps Pol Pot.”
Sheez...comparing Trump to Stalin and Pol Pot? Now that’s some kind of party unity, right there.
I highly recommend reading the original article for anyone who enjoys the hot mess among conservatives these days, or anyone who likes a good hard dig at Donald Trump.
