Rep party leaders (past and present) have created a monumental cluster**** that will cost them for years to come.
First the ultra-conservative wing turns on moderates in Congress creating a big rift. Trump enters and rallies a previously voiceless segment of anti-establishment types.
All this fractured the party into 3 camps. Since Trump's side won, the other two refuse to accept defeat and unify for the greater good of stopping ultra-radical Lib reign.
They ignore the glaring truth that even divided into segments with varying degrees of conservative principles, the common interests of the groups are infinitely larger than any agreement with the new ultra-Lib agenda.
Which is mind-boggling as the party who wins the Presidency will have country-defining consequences that reach far beyond the executive branch.
How could an Establishment Rep shun Trump knowing his published choices for Supreme Court are ideal for them, and Clinton's choices will be their worst nightmare?
The list goes on and on why each segment should swallow their pride and unite. But like children the pity party continues and they're dead set on paving the way for the most anti-American, unconstitutional administration in our nation's history.
So how does this hurt the party in 2020? Remember the anti-establishment segment who was sabotaged by fellow party members...wait until an ultra-conservative like Cruz or an establishment moderate wins the nomination and begs for their support.
Good luck, payback is a b**ch and jilted people have long memories. You're the one who raised our taxes, made us pay a fortune for health care, refused our kids choice of schools, allowed absurd social laws to pass and defeat challenges, brought in more crime illegally, protected the PC culture nightmare, etc, etc.
I consider myself mostly moderate with anti-establishment demands of fair play and removing corruption. Not a Trump lover, but support his agenda over the alternative.
I can't wait to hear pleas in 2019 when the very ones who helped HC cripple our country and harm my quality of life for 3 years are now asking for my support to save them.
Any Rep candidate who turned his/her back on the people's choice to represent the party and help secure the WH can kick rocks.
Maybe I'll be the aloof moron searching for a no-path independent candidate to support and indirectly help the Rep nominee lose the election. I was provided a great example.
'Never Trump' translates to one thing now...Only Hillary. No forgiving that betrayal.
