Signs emerge of the Great Republican Crack-Up of 2016
The Washington Post reported:
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), a freshman in office barely one year, took to social media Sunday night to declare that he would not support Donald Trump if he sews up the Republican presidential nomination and formally called for an independent challenge from the right as a conservative option to the real estate billionaire.
“I sincerely hope we select one of the other GOP candidates, but if Donald Trump ends up as the GOP nominee, conservatives will need to find a third option,” Sasse wrote in a roughly 1,600-word missive posted on Facebook, much of which he also threw into a series of tweets to his followers.
We don’t yet know the extent of Sasse’s commitment, but the Nebraska Republican, who has not formally endorsed anyone else, left himself little wiggle room, insisting he “cannot support” Trump.
The New York Times, meanwhile, reported over the weekend on the “frantic” and “desperate” behind-the-scenes Republican efforts to salvage the party’s 2016 presidential plans, which have thus far produced no results.
At least two campaigns have drafted plans to overtake Mr. Trump in a brokered convention, and the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has laid out a plan that would have lawmakers break with Mr. Trump explicitly in a general election.
Despite all the forces arrayed against Mr. Trump, the interviews show, the party has been gripped by a nearly incapacitating leadership vacuum and a paralytic sense of indecision and despair, as he has won smashing victories in South Carolina and Nevada. Donors have dreaded the consequences of clashing with Mr. Trump directly. Elected officials have balked at attacking him out of concern that they might unintentionally fuel his populist revolt. And Republicans have lacked someone from outside the presidential race who could help set the terms of debate from afar.
The details are amazing in their own right, but let’s not overlook the forest for the trees: Republican Party insiders are actively looking for ways to derail their own party’s presidential frontrunner – a dynamic we have not seen in the modern era – and they appear to be failing rather spectacularly.
Depending on tomorrow’s Super Tuesday results, this may very well get worse for the GOP before it gets better.

CNN contributor insists David Duke is a ‘hardcore leftist’ and the KKK is ‘military arm of the Democratic Party’
A CNN contributor who doesn’t seem to understand how politics have evolved since the Civil War repeatedly insisted the Ku Klux Klan was a liberal organization.
Jeffrey Lord, a former associate political director in the Reagan administration who frequently calls on modern Democratic Party to apologize for sins committed by historical Democrats,
“I mean, David Duke is a hardcore leftist. He’s an anti-Semite.”
Lord then argued that the KKK, which was founded by angry former Confederate soldiers during the Reconstruction era and terrorized blacks throughout the first half of the 20th Century, was associated with the Democratic Party.
“The Ku Klux Klan is a function of the left,” Lord said. “It was the military arm of the Democratic Party. o? Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish. David Duke is an anti-Semite, for heaven’s sakes. This is ridiculous.”
“It is a racist hate group from the left, and that counts,” Lord said. “That is important to understand. It is not conservative. It has nothing to do with conservatism. All of these Klan members who have been elected to Congress and U.S. Senate and governorships over the years, supporting Franklin Roosevelt because they like Social Security. Let’s get our history straight.”
In fact, a recent study showed how the KKK played an active and enduring role in steering southern white voters away from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.
a poll found that even decades after the KKK’s decline, Republican voting was strongest in southern counties where the Klan was active in the 1960s.
“The Klan played an active role in encouraging white southerners to prioritize white supremacy over party loyalty,”

All the juicy details of the GOP's 'desperate' bid to stop Trump
Just how desperate is the GOP to stop The Donald? The New York Times lays it out in tantalizing detail: rival campaigns are preparing for a brokered convention, Mitch McConnell's girding his caucus for war, and yet there's still a gaping vacuum of leadership.
Marco Rubio's campaign, for instance, has been floating this bulletproof strategy:
Speaking to political donors in Manhattan on Wednesday evening, Mr. Rubio’s campaign manager, Terry Sullivan, noted that most delegates are bound to a candidate only on the first ballot. Many of them, moreover, are likely to be party regulars who may not support Mr. Trump over multiple rounds of balloting, he added, according to a person present for Mr. Sullivan’s presentation, which was first reported by CNN.
So Super Tuesday hasn't even happened and they've already gone straight to the brokered convention scenario. Meanwhile, McConnell is turning his troops loose on The Donald—whatever it takes to keep their seats.So McConnell's so resigned to a GOP loss in 2016 that he's already positioning the Senate as the primary battleground over the White House.
Mr. McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Trump nomination, assuring them that, if it threatened to harm them in the general election, they could run negative ads about Mr. Trump to create space between him and Republican senators seeking re-election. Mr. McConnell has raised the possibility of treating Mr. Trump’s loss as a given and describing a Republican Senate to voters as a necessary check on a President Hillary Clinton, according to senators at the lunches.

The GOP Establishment Is Angry At Trump For Stealing Their Hate
What bothers the GOP establishment is Trump repeating on the national stage what they have preached for 8 years in semi-isolated environs
He is, by any measure, the epitome of a neo-conservative hero and the perfect representation of everything Republicans have promised the base they would deliver for at least the past four years;
since Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008, the Republican establishment and their powerful money machine have fostered and exploited hate, white-rage, and paranoia to incite its base and subsequently set the stage for a Trump-like character’s rise to power.
It is worth noting that in 2012 at the RNC convention Senator Lindsey Graham warned the Party elite that “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.” Graham’s remark was likely right “for the long term;” but the party’s crusade over seven-and-a-half years has generated more than enough of the “angry white” base the Donald is riding toward the Republican nomination.
It may be true that the establishment reserved any blatant hate-mongering for non-white, non-Christian, and non-conservatives for its closest insiders and private meetings, but it did use Barack Obama as a surrogate for everything the GOP base was conditioned to hate
the hate-mongering began in earnest during the 2008 general election campaign when Senator John McCain unleashed Sarah Palin on the country to launch the now-notorious “explosion of right-wing loathing and crusade of animosity” towards anything and anyone not white and not conservative.
It was not just Palin; the entire party was, and still are, using mean-spirited attempts to delegitimize President Obama and his supporters as not real Americans because they are Americans who are not rich and not white.
Republicans are angry that Trump is reaping the benefits of all their hard work as they are worried he is tarnishing the Republican brand. A brand that is already so dirty and nasty that it is a major mystery why they are terrified of, and oppose, the man who best represents the Republican brand the party elite and their wealthy donors created.

I watched that. John Oliver didn't destroy anything. In fact I was shocked at how weak it was. I thought Trevor Noah did a much better job when he compared him to African dictators about 7 months ago.
Donald Trump should enjoy his Super Tuesday win because he’s going to be crushed
he has no idea what he’s in for.
Until last Thursday’s GOP debate, his hapless opponents have been content to trade pot-shots with Trump over
his ideological apostasies –
he used to be pro-choice and once
called for single-payer health care.
Sure, Trump’s budget-busting tax cuts, belligerent foreign policy rhetoric and hostility towards immigrants and Muslims are GOP mainstays, but
he’s opposed to trade deals,
doesn’t want to cut Social Security and
argues that George W. Bush was president on 9/11/01, so he’s a heretic.
But they only just began to go after the central rationale of his candidacy. The Donald has
no coherent policies to offer, and
no relevant experience to highlight.
His pitch to the electorate is based entirely on his image as a successful businessman who makes great deals, knows how to manage people and gets things done.
And that singular strength is going to become a massive weakness in the blinding glare of a presidential campaign.
Last week, Sam Stein reported for the Huffington Post that none of his GOP rivals had even “completed a major anti-Trump opposition research effort.” When Trump gets to the general election, that’s going to change. Voters are going to hear plenty about not only his many bankruptcies, but also his fraudulent scams, mob ties, shady licensing deals, tax avoidance schemes and hypocritical embrace of immigrant workers for their cheap labor. Journalist Wayne Barrett has reported that some of his past associates – “I’ll hire the best people, they’ll give me the best advice” — have been caught up in drug smuggling, trafficking underage girls and various stock market swindles.
We’ll hear all about the Japanese gambler who stiffed him for $4 million – “they’re stealing our money!’ – and the Mexican sweatshop workers who make his ‘Make America Great’ hats. So far, he’s gotten a pass on his supposed business a en, but in a general election we’ll hear all about how he’d be richer today if he’d just invested his money in the stock market and spent the past 30 years lounging on a beach somewhere.
Since he arrived on New York’s social scene in the 1970s, Trump’s immense self-promotion skills haven’t been enough to overcome his reputation as a crass, utterly classless buffoon. We’ll be hearing plenty of clips from his two-dozen appearances on the Howard Stern show, where, according to Buzzfeed, he “frequently discussed women he had sex with, wanted to have sex with, or wouldn’t have sex with if given the opportunity.”
In a general election, Trump will be exposed for the slick con artist he’s always been. When the Democrats’ opposition researchers get through with The Donald, he’s going to make Mitt Romney look like George Potter.
And Trump isn’t going to take it well. Right now, he’s the picture of a happy narcissist.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious.
You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior…. You may insist on having ‘the best’ of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.” That’s Trump in a nuts .
But the Mayo Clinic adds: “when you don’t receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry.”
At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.
Trump’s angry-guy persona is playing well in the Republican primary contest, but when he comes under serious attacks for the first time – attacks that call into question his competence and business success — he’s likely to lash out like… like a narcissist whose endless boasts are suddenly being challenged for the first time. It’s not going to be pretty, and in the end a lot of voters are going to be terrified at the prospect of having someone like Trump anywhere near the nuclear launch codes.

Thanks, Repugs. All y'all stinky assholes refuse to govern government, and can't even govern your own party.
Heh, I actually said pretty much this exact thing to someone last night as we were discussing the results of the Super Tuesday.
Agree. JO's bit was a bit weak. I was disappointed, since he is usually much more effective.
in principle, the GOP could still screw Trump at the convention, thus purging itself of explicit, unashamed fascists, but that would only hasten its own crack-up.
it would also propel the angry, authoritarian mob that supports Trump, out into the street.
that said, Trump is way more moderate than his supporters think
So he is going for effective destruction of Trump instead of a laugh?
I thought it was funny. First time I have watched.
But then again, I find this entire board funny.
Oh my.
The day of the rope like DMC and m>s yearn for.
Full blown White people riots only occur on college campuses allegedly.
And Unless you are a biker in Waco.
I'm not a Trump supporter, but that video is hilarious.
