Trump Has Left Republicans With No Place to Go

“Donald Trump has the GOP trapped in not one Catch-22, but two. Call it a Catch-44,” Jonah Goldberg writes.

“The first Catch-22 has been the subject of widespread conversation over the last few weeks. As GOP pollster Glen Bolger summed it up for the New York Times: ‘Do we run the risk of depressing our base by repudiating the guy? Or do we run the risk of being tarred and feathered by independents for not repudiating him? We’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t.'”

“That brings us to the second Catch-22. Republican candidates at this stage have no excuses to offer if they decide to repudiate Trump other than naked self-interest.”

1. Damned if they do, damned if they don't, damned if they even THINK about what to do, or not do!

This makes me very happy!

Happy, happy, happy!

2. Well, there might be someplace....

The only path open for centrist and moderate republicans (some MUST exist) is to peel away from the GOP, leave it festering in the miasma of racism, bigotry and hatred that it has created and form a new party.

The GOP as it exists now cannot recover from Trump.
