Trump: If I Don’t Win, ‘You’ll Never See Another Republican’ President

Donald Trump told Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody today that “if we don’t win this election, you’ll never see another Republican” in the White House.

He claimed there will be a “different church structure” and a Supreme Court the GOP won’t even be able to come back from.

Brody asked him if he agrees with Michele Bachmann when she used “last election” to mean “potentially providing citizenship for many of these illegals.” This is how Trump answered:

“I think this will be the last election if I don’t win. I think this will be the last election that the Republicans have a chance of winning because you’re going to have people flowing across the border, you’re going to have illegal immigrants coming in and they’re going to be legalized and they’re going to be able to vote and once that all happens you can forget it. You’re not going to have one Republican vote. And it’s already a hard number. Already the path is much more difficult for the Republicans. You just have to look at the maps.”

ignorance, self-serving, and bigotry of every sort (racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, immiigrant-bashing) that the GOP has been catering to for decades.

The only difference is that he expresses these attitudes and beliefs with a "Trumpet" rather than a dog whistle, and by doing so he allows those who are most vicious and hateful in their bigotry to come out of the shadows and share the spotlight with him at center stage.

There's no surface gloss, no sugar coating, no social graces. It's unadulterated wingnuttery, crystallized-- years in the making, now in pure, raw form. And it has a highly lethal capacity.

He wins, no Republican president ever again (assuming that he hasn't created WWIII nuclear destruction, that is).

He loses, a sane Republican has a chance in 2020.

There are no "Sane" or "reasonable" ReTHUGlicans- only ones who appear less extreme than others.

A) It's remarkably coherent.
B) There's hardly any repetition.
C) There's not a single "Believe me!"

The Republicans are a bunch of obstructionist, racist morons. They don't deserve to win another election, so long as they don't change their ways.

We don't need them to change their ways- we need them to sit down, shut up, and stop obstructing progressive change!

It would break the cycle of Republicans blowing up the economy every time they get in office and Democrats left cleaning up the mess.
