Midknight Review -- new and revised: The day the GOP died

I am going to say it, here and now: The GOP will not put itself back together after the convention.

During the CNN Townhall, last night, all three candidates refused to honor their pledge for unity. The Conservative media will blame Trump, but the truth is very different: John Kasich has rejected his unity pledge (at least) two weeks ago, choosing to skirt a direct answer to any question about his pledge to support the winner of the GOP nomination process. He was the first.

Cruz finally showed his true colors, yesterday, even before getting on stage at the CNN Townhall.

So, of course, Trump rejected the pledge when asked by Anderson Cooper, since he was the only remaining pledge not to refuse his pledge.

As the reader knows, I have been an opponent of the GOP as represented in its leadership (John Boehner and Mitch McConnell) throughout the life of this blog, or, at least, since the House was handed back to the GOP with the 2010 midterm elections.

The Republican party would not be in charge of the House or the Senate,   if not for the teaparty movement. Say what you will about the teaparty. Facts are facts, the Party never got on board with the conservative movement. As a result, the sane members of the movement have moved on. They are independents, as I am, with no pledge to the GOP.

With the events of last night, at the CNN Townhall, the Grand Old Party surrendered any hope of future viability. The Party needs the Senate and the presidency to fight off a socialist takeover of the Supreme Court. With the CNN Townhall events, that circumstance may be irreversibly damaged as common-sense conservatives get up and walk out the door.

What is most telling is the fact that no one involved in GOP politics, understands what happened to the GOP, last evening.

More than this, and just as mind-boggling, is the fact that the Progressive Dems are having a very similar problem. Hillary is now refusing to debate Bernie because he is too mean. Anyone think this will endear her to the growing Millennial base ? Not a chance in 800 hells.   But more on that, later.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
