This Republican nominating process isn't just about politics, about winning, this is about morality. Donald J. Trump has espoused immoral, demonizing policies toward Mexican people and Muslim people, and Republican Governor and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin made an anti-semitic endorsement speech that I think put Trump over the top in Iowa. Trump has crudely mocked a handicapped person and has viciously attacked other Republicans, Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham, Governor Jeb Bush, he has had protesters physically ejected from his rallies.

The Republican Center, in choosing not to attempt to stop Trump early on, chose Trumpism. The Center, in choosing to attack Ted Cruz now, chose Trumpism. The Center, in choosing to remove National Review as a sponsor of the next Republican debate, chose Trumpism over twenty-two conservative intellectuals. The other Republican candidates, the moment they agreed to appear on stage with Trump, validated Trumpism as a legitimate part of Republicanism. If the others had agreed to boycott any debate in which Trump was present Trumpism would have been still-born as a Republican phenomenon.

This is how Adolph Hitler rose to power.

The Republican Center is not only stupid in thinking that a Republican is going to emerge from this process who will defeat Hillary Clinton, it is amoral to think in terms of merely winning and losing when Donald J. Trump towers over them. The Center has made a deal with the Devil, it has chosen immorality and nativism and anti-semitism. It now owns Trumpism, it is their's. And Donald Trump now owns the Center. They are going to get their asses kicked in the bargain come November, if not sooner, for I do not believe that there are enough individual Republican voters to make either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz the nominee. I will believe it when I see it, it's now up to them.
