As the angst over justifying their ‘never-Trump’ credentials runs amok, the holier-than-thou in the GOP see Trump as an outlier, an aberration that will soon run its course.

These are the same ‘take-the-high-road’ conservatives who insist on high standards  which continually handcuff Republicans when a bare-knuckle brawl is more in order.

‘The base’ (as Trump supporters are sneeringly referenced) see what high and mighty GOP’ers don’t…Republicans NEVER WIN when taking the high road vs Democrats.

Donald Trump didn’t ‘just’ beat Hillary for the presidency…he beat some very highly qualified Republicans to become that Party’s nominee, for just that reason…

…he was seen as a brawler, willing to get down in the mud to wrestle the pig.

And he IS wrestling the pig.

So you never-Trump’ers can whine all you want, but we guarantee you there’s a wide swath of America that is happy to have (and watch) Trump’s fight play out nationally.

And, yeah…there will be stains, and sweat, and blood…

…’cuz he’s a FIGHTER – not a high-brow.

Do any of you never-Trump’ers remember what it was like, to actually win a fight?

Are you really happier with your sideline role, ankle-biting?

Remember what Teddy R said…

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually IN THE ARENA, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Trump fought his way INTO the arena, to fight for America.

Grow up…or, get out of the way and just go sit on the porch.
