Cannibalizing Their Own Candidate 

George Neumayr August 10, 2016

Hillary can count on the GOP’s useful idiots.

Chasing after pats on the head from the media, country club Republicans continue to line up against Trump. They rose to power on appeals to “Republican loyalty,” but now display none. Party pragmatism suddenly disgusts them, as they deliver lectures about “values” higher than victory. Who knew RINO proponents of abortion rights and gay marriage cared so much about transcendent values?

Of course, it is never explained how handing victory to Hillary will advance those values. According to Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal, Hillary is a more “survivable event” than Trump. While providing the political season’s dumbest comment, Stephens calls Sean Hannity Fox’s “dumbest” anchor. The Republicans Stephens represents denounce Trump for his superficiality even as they glibly warm up to what would be a disastrous Hillary presidency. They call Trump vulgar while showering him in vulgar epithets and profess horror at his egotism while wallowing in their own.
The same Republicans who call Trump a loose cannon championed John McCain and defended him to the hilt against charges of instability and poor temperament. If Trump held the same positions as McCain on war, immigration, and trade, he would have received a similar defense. The reason they see Hillary as a “survivable event” is that she appears to them as a recognizable member of the ruling class. They admire her vote for the Iraq war, support her plans for amnesty, and feel comfortable with the de-Christianized America that she will accelerate. Meg Whitman, whom the country club Republicans foisted on conservatives in California, speaks for the GOP elite when she proclaims that “Clinton’s temperament, global experience and commitment to America’s bedrock national values make her the far better choice in 2016 for President of the United States.”
The country club Republicans insist on treating Trump as a uniquely dangerous threat to the character of the country, though one could never imagine them engaging in such moral hysterics about far more obvious threats to it, such as a million-plus abortions a year or the disintegration of the traditional family.
