Donald Trump Is the Nominee From Hell: The Early Numbers Are In, and They Spell Disaster for the GOP
From the sound of the pundits on cable news last night, the word on the street is that Trump is going to clean Cruz’s clock later today in Indiana. But then this primary season had had its share of surprises, so who knows? Still, this is likely to be the last chance for the #NeverTrump movement to gain enough traction to stop Trump from winning on the first ballot. If so, that’s the game.
The official party establishment is trying to come to terms with their fate. They’ll likely fall in line. It’s what they do. And they’re starting to admonish everyone else to fall in also. For instance, GOP strategist John Feehery wrote in The Hill yesterday,
“The conservative intelligentsia (not necessarily a contradiction in terms) is being stupid about Donald Trump. And in the process, they are revealing their biases against democracy and the will of the people.”
He specifically called out Michael Gerson, Ross Douthat, George Will and David Brooks for being unenthusiastic about the presumptive nominee, saying,
“I am not of the opinion that a Trump candidacy will do long-lasting damage to the party or the country. I guess that’s why I am not part of the conservative intelligentsia.”
