By my most excellent friend and USAF veteran-buddy, David "Bacon" Gulliver (FB: https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=david%20bacon%20gulliver) (Twitter: @dvgulliver), we have a stream-of-consciousness report on the perfidy of the GOPe.
R.T.W.T.
"McCain loses. Romney loses. GOPe cabal leader schemes to win FL and OH at all costs. iJEB! and Kasich. Fill primary with as many GOPe losers as possible to split up the vote so iJEB! wins by default. Enter Trump. Assign sacrificial lambs to take out Trump without dirtying iJEB! or Kasich. Trump slaughters lambs. Get serious as voting approaches. Commission Fusion GPS to create smear campaign. Fund via a minor website, through a PAC, managed by a former Romney Campaign manager, to avoid a tie in to iJEB! or Kasich. Oh, and Ted Cruz is looking scary, try to frame him at the same time. Trump and Cruz are actually winning. Panic. Accept the reality that iJEB! is toxic, suddenly try to prop up Rubio to make the FL and OH ticket with Kasich. Shift big dollar funding to Rubio as iJEB! drops out. Have the PAC start running sleazy ads that attack Trump and appear to support Cruz to turn them against each other. Do it in Utah, where the GOP is strongest, to avoid worrying about turning off voters. It backfires as Trump remains strong and Cruz gains new ground. Now Kasich appears stronger than Rubio - shift gears to nominate Kasich and he can run with Rubio instead of the other way around. Prop up Kasich and take out Cruz by conning Cruz into an alliance where Cruz gives up on states he might have won so Kasich can win the swing states. In the narrowed field, Trump suddenly dominates and starts winning solid majorities everywhere. Plan to hijack convention. But now you are in so deep, if Trump wins, you are all in danger of going down. Strike a bargain with Hillary as your fallback in case Trump really is the nominee. Turn over Fusion GPS to Hillary and the DNC while launching a last-ditch #NEVERTRUMP movement. Despite all your combined efforts, including colluding with both the democrats and the media, Trump is still dangerously close to winning. Believing Trump can only win via a narrow Electoral College victory, turn to one state that could reject him and throw it back to Hillary: Utah, where you already poisoned Trump. Recruit an independent candidate with no chance of winning, but who could maybe spoil that one state. He's someone connected to the CIA and the deep state. Prop him up with a "respected" "conservative" media titan, who happens to be the father-in-law of the editor of the paper that funded your project. Meanwhile, one of your flunky relatives tells you about an interview he did with Trump a decade ago where Trump talked pretty raunchy. Find the tape and orchestrate a last minute smear campaign. Despite all your efforts, Trump is elected - and now too many people have their hands dirty and there is no way to clean this mess up. Send your cleanest looking GOPe elder in to beg for a job, from which he can orchestrate the cover up. Problem: one of your flunkies, known for being a rogue maverick, takes things too personally - so goes behind your back and delivers dirt to the Clinton-loyal FBI. Now Trump is sworn in, and your democrat deep state counterparts are muddying up the waters while you are trying to stay submerged. Time to go nuclear - bring in special counsel to go after Trump on fake charges while he directs the clean up from inside the DOJ. But it's too late. Too much dirt is already out and Trump's allies are already putting pieces together. Direct Fusion GPS to throw Hillary and the DNC under the bus. But they won't go down alone - so they reveal the original Republican connection. Now you need a patsy. That website that you used originally is no big loss. The editor is only an in-law to your main media man, after all... and that's where we are right now..."
There is is: you know what to do. (1) send no more $$$ to GOPe, (2) Re-register Not aligned Voter, (3) Get LOUD against the Deep State and the GOPe, however you can, (4) Maintain your firearms in Condition One, (5) Pay attention to POTUS Trump, no other political scalawag.
