“Who Can Stop Trump? Republicans May Have Little Choice But To Vote Clinton”

March 20th, 2016

Imagine my shock.

Via: Guardian:

Just a few steps from the White House, the latest secret gathering of Republicans seeking an answer to the question of who can still stop Donald Trump reached a demoralising answer for their party on Thursday night: Hillary Clinton.

A bleak mood has swept over the Grand Old Party in the past 24 hours as the multiple implications of Trump’s latest victory in primary elections on Tuesday have slowly sunk in.

Many establishment figures have reluctantly begun to concede that it is a non-starter to entertain the idea of bringing in an entirely new alternative candidate at a contested party convention in July.

How one of the world’s largest exercises in democracy can leave Americans facing two of the least popular candidates in a generation may seem strange, but the realistic alternatives for Republicans look less attractive still.

Instead the many mainstream Republicans who are appalled at Trump’s antics are now realising they could have little alternative but to vote for Hillary Clinton or not vote at all.

    His speech yesterday to AIPAC might just as well have been by Cruz, or any of the neocons for that matter. It’s silly to believe he says anything other than what he thinks his audience of the moment wants to hear.

    I still think he’s working with the Clintons to get Hillary elected. Bill recognized that the only way she could possibly win a general election, being as reviled as she is, was to ensure she ran against someone even more vile and heinous.

    In fact, having him as a common enemy to both parties is a bonus. Since there’s really nothing to distinguish them (other than some trivial hot-button issues like abortion), they might as well come together in some sort of grand bargain, and do away with the charade anyway. So the more people support Trump, the more likely the establishment wins, and he knows it. Why do you think he shows a clip of a judo move in his latest ad?
