In the final hours before yesterday's elections, the well-known stuff hit the fan in the Republican Party. The "establishment" is so incensed that a total outsider can come in and "steal" their power and thunder that they have actually gone around the bend and totally "lost" it.
Almost too late before Trump could do damage control, they tagged him with being associated with the Ku Klux Klan. Now, the guy hires Hispanics, blacks, Poles, Chinese and even some whites.... how can you attach him to a radical racist cult like the KKK? It makes no sense. But, that wasn't the end of it.
Monday night, much too late for Trump to do damage control, the effluent stink wafted out into the countryside about a so-called "secret" and off-the-record meeting Trump had with the NEW YORK TIMES in January, where he allegedly said that his push to control the borders and build a wall was simply a tool to get him the nomination and that he would drop the plan after winning the White House. The NEW YORK TIMES was quick to say they couldn't and wouldn't release the "recording" of the meeting unless Trump agreed, because it was "off-the-record." How convenient. It's plain for anyone to see through this dirty trick. It smells like a Cruz move.
In a last ditch effort to sideline Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan, who opened his slimy mouth a few weeks ago about Trump and then hastily said he wasn't going to interfere with the GOP nomination process anymore, flapped off at the gums about the KKK allegations and pronounced that the Republican Party would not tolerate or allow any nominee who was racist, a sentiment with which I would be obliged to agree with, were it true. Mitch McConnell... the so-called bastion of Washington propriety, was quick to jump on the anti-Trump rhetoric.
It's obvious: if they can't have their way because the damned party members insist on backing Trump, they intend to drive a few trainloads of manure into the arena and make total fools and asses of themselves, convincing the Republican base and all of the rest of the country that their lust for power and control has driven them stark-raving mad.
I can hear them snarling in the smoke-filled back rooms of Washington right now: "Where's John Wilkes Booth when you really need him?"
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
