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.”
