Every knee will bend. From Bill Kristol and Ben du Pont to Lacey Lafferty and David Duke. They will welcome “Trump the Liberator” and the very suggestion that they were ever anything other than Trump die-hards will be scornfully ridiculed. I will allow the Rude Pundit to explain
Republicans are not going to go to “war” or tear themselves up over Donald Trump as their nominee. They aren’t going to flee from him in great numbers. They aren’t going to disavow him. They are going to line the fuck up like the brainless loyal tools that they are, climbing over each other to see who gets to cup his balls in their mouth for a little while.
And the reason is simple: When is the last time you saw the Republicans admit they were wrong? Except for Trump, these motherfuckers refuse to outright condemn George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Right now, they’re talking a good game about distancing themselves from the expected nominee. But once Cruz drops out, most of those voters are going to head for Trump. And when Trump starts breaking 50%, the Republican establishment would rather kiss Trump’s tangerine ass than deal with the ramifications of fighting him.
They’re Republicans, after all. It’s Democrats who rip each other to shreds at times like this. For some in the GOP, frankly, Trump has to be liberating, like “Oh, thank Christ, I don’t have to pretend I’m not racist anymore.”
