Country Club Republicans Just Want To Keep Playing Golf With Obama

Remember "Two-Faced" Eric Cantor? The Establishment GOP guy who never gave a straight answer.
Don't Remind Me! m/r 
"Some Things Never Change!"
GOP Panic Over Trump | The American Spectator

By Jeffrey Lord – 1.12.16

Michael Gerson, Doug Heye, and the GOP Establishment's obsession with losing.  

Fox’s Howard Kurtz has zeroed in on two of the Establishment GOP’s favorites to illustrate the meltdown the Establishment is having over Donald Trump. One would be ex-Bush 43 speechwriter Michael Gerson, the other ex-Eric Cantor and RNC spokesman Doug Heye.

Gerson’s meltdown was front and center in the Washington Post, with the title:
Trump’s nomination would rip the heart out of the Republican Party
Not to be outdone, ex-RNC and Cantor spokesman Heye penned this missive that Kurtz noticed over at the Independent Journal. Heye announced:
As a Republican Operative, Here's Why I Won't Support Trump If He Is The Nominee
Well. The world ends.

While Gerson goes on with the usual mush that resulted in George W. Bush leaving the White House with a 22% approval rating, Heye takes this kind of furious muddle another step further. Among other gems issuing from this Establishment stalwart was this:
Because of Trump’s perversion of conservatism, along with the devastating impact he would have if nominated, I cannot support Donald Trump were he to win the Republican nomination.
Let me understand this. Here are two guys who have been participants in a presidency and a GOP congressional leadership that have proved to so wildly unpopular that the first winds up electing Barack Obama and the second becomes the first House Majority Leader to ever get dumped by
his own voters in a party primary. And they think Trump would have a “devastating impact… if nominated” because he, Trump, who had zero role in the Bush presidency or the Cantor leadership, is guilty of a “perversion of conservatism.”

You can’t make this stuff up.
