The GOPe Has No Credibility...GO TRUMP

Vanity | March 3, 2016 | Behind the Blue Wall 

I know that it's no surprise, but the logic behind the GOPe strategy to take the nomination fight to the convention floor in order to avoid a Trump nomination is just so hard to imagine. These are people whose anointed candidates have lost the popular vote in five of the last six Presidential elections, with the sixth (W's reelection) being not only a squeaker, but also resulting four years later (2008) in the most devastating losses for Republicans maybe ever, losses from which the Party is still trying to record.
Furthermore, it's just a fact that Trump is massively expanding the Party to an extent that hasn't happened, maybe ever. The Republican turnout this primary season has shattered previous records, and nobody questions that those are all Trump voters. He's also putting the Democratic strongholds like the industrial Midwest and Northeast into play, and growing the Party's strength among the working-class voters who have traditionally formed the foundation of electoral success nationally.
The GOPe is basically saying to us the rank and file of the Republican Party that "no, at all costs we must not succumb to a candidate that has shown an ability to connect directly to the American people, to fight and win against the media's bias against Republicans, to reach constituencies that are critical to our long-term success as a national Party, no, instead we must nominate another Bush, McCain, Romney-type, who will then go on to 'lose with dignity' to the Democrats in November."
It's also astounding that to the extent that there's a trade-off between appealing to Americans who are negatively impacted by illegal immigration, and appealing to whatever percent of Hispanics there are who support and profit from it, the GOPe prioritizes appealing to the less than 13% (Hispanics) versus the 87% (other Americans). Put another way, the GOPe would prefer to appeal to the illegal immigrant (in theory 0% of the electorate) versus American citizens (in theory 100% of the electorate). In what universe can that be considered a smart electoral strategy?
Luckily, it appears that we finally have a candidate who understands all of this, and enough voters who are willing to see through the smokescreens being thrown up in front of them by the GOPe/media complex. Go Trump!!!
