Are Republicans aware of the strange bedfellows they've made by nominating Trump?

Last week I quoted Brietbart writer and Trump Supporter Milo Yiannopoulos who said (of establishment Republicans) -

"When I see GOP politicans go on CNN and say ' the public doesn't pick the candidate, we pick the candidate.' I just think to myself: You deserve to burn. "

A conservative on Y!A stated that "he sounds like a liberal".

Do conservatives understand that they've handed the party over to a population (that in large part) hates them?

It's Conservatives who are sick of the establishment. I left the Republican party when they nominated Romney.

I'm a Cruz guy but many of my Conservative friends are for Trump.

I am sick of the lies about Trump though. I can't stand liars.

And I find it funny that Trump is being attacked by most of the people who liberals say they hate. But here they are parroting the lies those people throw out. Pretty pathetic.

I guess when you're a liberal any old lie will do. It doesn't matter if you hate the source of it.

Ryan just said that Trump is the nominee so they are stuck with him and his alter ego John Miller . We can assume that Trump will appoint John Miller to be the White House press manager who will speak behind a curtain.



Apparently the conservatives don't realize that Trump changes his mind frequently. How does Trump stand on the issues they consider important. Here is a small sample . In 1999, in an interview on NBC: "I am very pro-choice in every respect." In 2016, "I am very pro-life".



Trump wanted strict gun control . In his 2000 book, The America We Deserve: "I support the Ban On assault weapons and a longer waiting period to purchase a gun". in 2015, I do not support expanding background checks".



In a video blog in 2011 his view on Libya was : "We should go in, we should stop Gaddafi, which should be very easy and very quick....we should immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effective." In 2016, during the republican debate Trump said: "We would be so much better off if Gaddafi was in charge right now".



In 2011, to the Des Moines Register: "I am not in favor of gay marriage. They should not be able to marry". In January 2016, on Fox news, Trump told Chris Wallace: "I will be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that will change the Gay marriage law."



Trump flip-flopped again, on March 2016, when he told People Magazine; "I would have liked to see the Gay marriage thing be a state thing, but the courts have ruled and there is nothing to be done."

It's hilarious to see all those who criticized the hell out of him, now sucking up to him for the VP slot.



Kinda like Carly Fiorina who previously hated Cruz, and called him all manner of names........and then accepted the VP bid from him.



Politics Always made strange bedfellows.

The new leader of the Republican party:



-Four bankruptcies

-Three marriages

-Racist

-Several fraud cases pending for his fake University

-Has talked sexually about his daughter more than once - on tv

-Makes fun of people with disabilities

-Has ties to the mob (one reason he's hiding his taxes)

-Won't release taxes

-Etc.



Republicans. Donald Trump is the culmination of everything you've worked so hard for over these past several years. Congratulations.

I hope that they realize that. And I hope that that changes their attitude. The party works for the people, not the other way around.



You leftists might want to consider this phenomenon as well...while you mull over that 'Hillary as your bedfellow' visual. Your primaries were a sham. Hillary was chosen long ago. You grassroots leftists had absolutely no say in your candidate for President.
